→Rudder gyro setup
1. Dial 3 in center position. Set parameter menu Point D (HeadingLock) to purple.

2. Determine the maximum gyro gain (aux channel). Increase the gyro gain until the tail starts oscillating during wide turns in fast forward flight. Then reduce the gyro gain by about 1 LED on the Microbeast display. Those who are able can also set the gyro gain doing fast backwards circuits.

3. With the gyro gain dialed in, do fast forward flights again and start pirouetting slowly. The piros should turn smoothly without getting slower into the wind and faster against the wind. If there is a strong, steady wind at the field you can also try this in a hover. Is the piro speed not constant, increase parameter menu Point D and try again. Those who are able to do tailslides can also use tailslides from greater height with increasingly faster piros to test this. After this you may have to re-adjust the gyro gain (step 2) slightly.

4. Finally, the tail-stopping behaviour is adjusted using dial 3. To do this, perform fast piros while hovering and then stop the piro abruptly. The tail should stop cleanly without turning further and without swinging back. If the tail continues to turn after the stop or feels "soft" when stopping, increase the gain on dial 3. If the tail swings back when stopping, decrease the gain using dial 3. When tuned properly, the tail should not make much noise when stopping. If you can hear the tail when stopping, you're probably past the optimum setting.
