Attach a servo horn to the rudder servo in such way that the tail linkage rod forms a 90 degree angle to the servo horn (or as close as possible) and 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.<br />

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 />

{{QUOTE|Always set servo directions in the transmitter first, then check the Status display of your BEASTX device or in the StudioX app. Change the internal control direction if it does not match the real direction. '''Do not change the internal direction in order to change the servo direction! This is only used for telling the gyro in which direction it must move the servo.''' Be very conscientious when doing this setup step, as wrong gyro direction will cause loss of control during takeoff and you probably crash the helicopter!<br />

'''In addition you can check the gyro direction by turning the helicopter by hand around its vertical axis.''' When turning the heli the gyro must move the servo so that the rotor will produce a counter action agains the turn direction. So later in flight the gyro will stop the helicopter from unwanted movement. Here the LED will light up in '''blue''' color when you turn the helicopter to the '''right''' and light up in '''red''' when you turn it to the '''left'''. So you can get a little reminder when you do not know which is the correct stick direction to setup, when you need to do the setup later on the field!}}<br />
