Adjust the DIR switch so the gyro provides the
proper compensation. To check this, grasp the
helicopter holding the tail away from you. Swing

edge of the tail blades should move the same
direction as your rotation direction.
Gyro Use
Explanation of the SENS ADJ Switch
Flying using “LOCAL” mode (SENS ADJ Switch On)
If you choose to use the gyro in local mode it will automatically be in
heading hold. It’s important to note that when in heading hold the
servo arm will not center when you release pressure of the rudder
stick. This is normal. To adjust the gain you must do this manually
using the SENS dial located on the top of the gyro.
To start, adjust the SENS dial to 50%.
Hover the helicopter and look for any tail wag or fade. If you are a
skilled pilot you will want to put the helicopter in forward fl ight and
review the tail’s performance.
