Attach a servo horn to the rudder servo in such a way that the tail linkage rod forms a 90 degree angle to the servo horn (or as close as possible). Then adjust the linkage rod as described in the manual for your helicopter. For most helicopters the tail pitch slider should be centred and the tail rotor blades will then have some positive pitch to compensate for the torque of the main rotor. This mechanical adjustment especially is important when using the tail gyro in Normal-Rate mode. If the adjustment was not done properly the helicopter will constantly drift to one side or the other on the rudder axis. When using the tail gyro only in HeadingLock mode this adjustment is not so critical. Here the gyro will actively control the rudder so the helicopter does exactly follow the commands of the rudder stick. Anyhow, for optimum performance of the gyro a good mechanical adjustment is essentially!<br />

To select the desired servo frequency, move the rudder stick repeatedly in one direction until the Status-LED lights in the correct color. Please note that depending on the rudder servo center pulse width chosen at Menu Point C, you may not be able to select a frequency higher than 333Hz!<br />

'''Note:''' When you set a different pulse width using the StudioX or StudioXm App the Status LED will be '''off'''. You can change back to a preset setting by tapping the rudder stick as described, but this will remove your custom setting!<br />
