	'''Note for software versions before 4.1.x:''' When AttitudeControl is enabled in general the tail gyro can not be used in Normal-Rate mode. If operating AttitudeControl with separate switch channel (see above) the channel for tail gyro gain activates HeadingLock - Mode in both directions. The sign of deflection is not relevant here, just the amount of deflection is important. When you also want to use the tail gyro in Normal-Rate mode (as described [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Flying\|here]]) you must disable AttitudeControl at [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Parametermenu_I\|Parameter menu point '''I''']] (by setting the Status-LED to „off“ state).}}<br />		'''Note for software versions before 4.1.x:''' When AttitudeControl is enabled in general the tail gyro can not be used in Normal-Rate mode.

	{{QUOTE\|When using an AttitudeControl mode with collective pitch control (see [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Parametermenu_L\|Parameter menu point '''L''']]) additional to the cyclic movement also the collective pitch is moved in positive or negative direction when AttitudeControl is activated and the helicopter approaches the horizontal position. The pilot can add collective pitch in the same direction by using the thrust stick, but not in the opposite direction. Check to see if this works correctly and whether the control directions are correct. If the helicopter is kept in hovering position, some positive collective pitch must be applied by AttitudeControl and you can use the thrust stick to add more positive pitch, but not less. Analogous this must work when the heli is in inverted hovering position if using the „3D - Mode with collective pitch control“. Here AttitudeControl will apply some negative collective pitch and you can only add more negative pitch, but not positive.}}<br />		{{QUOTE\|When using an AttitudeControl mode with collective pitch control (see [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Parametermenu_L\|Parameter menu point '''L''']]) additional to the cyclic movement also the collective pitch is moved in positive or negative direction when AttitudeControl is activated and the helicopter approaches the horizontal position.
