'''Connect the rudder servo to [CH4] port of MICROBEAST PLUS:'''<br />

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 />

This ensures that control range of the radio system matches the internal range of MICROBEAST PLUS. Later when setting the control style you can adjust how fast your helicopter should turn around the vertical axis. To get reproducable results you have to match your radio to the system!<br />

To activate the rudder adjustments click the '''Adjust button''' in the corresponding table row (when using the '''Wizard''' function this will be done automatically when you click the '''Next button''' after adjusting Menu Point D.<br />

1. Move the rudder stick and check the rudder direction on the helicopter. '''If the stick is moving the servo into the wrong direction use the servo reverse function of your transmitter and reverse the rudder channel to set stick control direction correctly.'''<br />
<br />
2. When you move the rudder stick to full deflection, the Status LED on the MICROBEAST PLUS should light solid and the label ''right'' or ''left'' should change the color accordingly. If the stick is not moving far enough, you will see the message "Move stick to max. position! Check Status LED." In this case '''increase the servo throw/endpoint of the rudder channel in the transmitter just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the rudder stick reaches the end position''' and the label will disappear in the software. (Note: Do not increase the endpoint to much in the transmitter. We need an exact match of full stick position and stick end position. So the Status LED should just change from flashing to solid when raching the end position.)<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Now check rudder direction of the MICROBEAST PLUS gyro: When you move the rudder stick to the right, the Status LED must light up or flash in blue color. When you move the rudder stick to the left, the Status LED must light up or flash in red color. '''When the display is inverted (red = right and blue = left), reverse the display (internal control direction) by tapping the AILERON stick once.'''<br />
<br />
4. Lastly connect the rudder servo to CH4 output on the MICROBEAST PLUS and adjust the servo limit by changing the values in the two adjustment boxes for each direction. To do so, carefully move the rudder stick to move the servo to the endpoint (watch out to not jam the servo) and increase/decrease the endpoint as necessary.
