Status: offline 		IN heading hold, you are doing NOTHING to the plane the way that some people describe how to take off.

In my opinion, you are not learning anything. PLUS, in heading hold, quite often, I find that you have to dial down the travel adjust or dual rates otherwise, when you DO touch the rudder, it's way to sensitive. This all depends upon the gyro and your setup. Often, guys will relate their single experiance with gyros and say it applies to them all. Well, I've experimented with about 20 different gyros from mine and other people's planes over the past years so I know that in rate mode, you are less likely to start out in trouble.

Rade mode feels more like the natural flight charactoristics of your plane. It won't have an effect from dead stop, especially if your wheel is lose or you fly with a tail skid (like a WWI bipe) but you should be spooling up slowly anyway. With rate mode, you still have to fly the rudder and learn it, but quick sudden movements are damped.

My opinion is to start your venture into RATE mode and it will cause less problems starting out. Some gyros want to initialize in Heading hold mode though. Not all, but some Futaba Gy401 gyros do this.

If it drifts like that just toggle it in and out of HH mode 3x quickly, that will reinitialize the gyro.

This is just specifict to DX6i but does not cover all the aspects of gyro use only how to program the radio for it.
