	==Tail gyro response==		==Tail gyro response==
	In addition to the gyro gain adjustment there is a parameter called gyro response which helps to optimize the precision of the gyro. Increasing the gyro response will cause a harder stop and quicker response to rudder stick inputs. But if the response is too high, the tail will bounce back after a hard stop and feel spongy when making fast direction changes. If the response is set too low on the other hand, the rudder control feels dull and stopping might be too soft. Ideally the tail should stop perfectly to the point without making any flapping noises.<br />		In addition to the gyro gain adjustment there is a parameter called gyro response which helps to optimize the precision of the gyro.

	The control loop for the cyclics depends on two major parameters: '''Cyclic gain''' and '''Cyclic feed forward'''.<br />		The control loop for the cyclics depends on two major parameters: '''Cyclic gain''' and '''Cyclic feed forward'''.<br />

	==Cyclic gain==		==Cyclic gain==
	In general the higher the gain, the harder the helicopter will stop after cyclic moves and the more stable and exact the helicopter will fly. But if the gain is too high, the helicopter will tend to oscillate at high frequency especially on the elevator axis. Due to their low mass, this behavior will occur sooner on small helicopters, so typically these do not need as much gain as large helicopters.<br />		In general the higher the gain, the harder the helicopter will stop after cyclic moves and the more stable and exact the helicopter will fly.

	==Cyclic feed forward==		==Cyclic feed forward==
	This part mixes some amount of stick input directly to the servos, bypassing the control loop. If correctly adjusted, the feed forward relieves the control loop so it will work more efficiently by only having to make residual corrections. Factory setting of the dial is horizontal which provides a good setup in most cases. Turn dial 2 clockwise to increase the cyclic feed forward. This will cause more cyclic stick input going directly to aileron and elevator on the swashplate. Decreasing the direct stick feed forward will do the opposite.<br />		This part mixes some amount of stick input directly to the servos, bypassing the control loop.

	The tail gyro gain is adjusted by one of the transmitter's auxiliary channels. The more servo throw this channel produces, the higher the tail gyro gain will be. Additionally, the direction of servo throw determines whether the gyro operates in Normal-Rate mode or in HeadingLock mode.<br />		The tail gyro gain is adjusted by one of the transmitter's auxiliary channels.

	The swash gyro gain (cyclic gain) can be set by dial 1 from 50% up to 150%. The factory setting is horizontal which corresponds to 100% swashplate gain. Turn dial 1 clockwise to increase the gain and counter clockwise to decrease. For your first flights we suggest not changing this setting. However, when using very small helicopters (such as 250 or 450 size), reduce the cyclic gain by 3 marks (=75% gain) as with such small helicopters the control loop tends to overcompensate more easily.<br />		The swash gyro gain (cyclic gain) can be set by dial 1 from 50% up to 150%.
