GHI all. i have a rapt 30 and gy401. when i try to hover the tail wags a fair bit. im sure its the gain as ive been looking into it. my question is how do i adjust the gain. is it on the gyro or is it done via the radio. ( fut 6exh ). whats a good start point.

The radio does not have the ability to adjust the gain on your gyro. There has to be a knob or something on the gyro itself, usually in a recessed in a hole and you have to turn it with a small screwdriver. People are always quick to blame the gyro but sometimes slop in the tail drive system can produce similar symptoms. This is because as the model starts to turn, the gyro tries to compensate, and because of sloppy linkage to the tail, it overcompensates, and then overshoots, producing a wag. Check this first before you mess with the gyro.

I'm not sure about the capablities of the 6exh but the gain is the single wire off the gyro, probably plugged into ch.5. A gy401 does not have a gain adjustment on the gyro, it is done on the tx. Make sure your linkage is good with no binding, adjust the limit pot on the gyro so it doesn't bind. You want atleast 100%, if you can't get that then move the ball in a hole on the servo arm. Then look for gyro gain on the tx menu and make your adjustments.

Turn gyro gain down in very small increments until tail stops wagging. When you set up gyro you turn gain up until tail begins to wag and then back it off to where it just quits wagging.

I have a Raptor 30 withthe 401 as well. The gain is adjusted in my radio. I am using the DX6i from my Blade 400 for the radio.

I was having tail Wag as well..but my gain value was set to 55%. I increased my Gain to like 75 and the wagging stoped. I have to apply more stick to get the model to turn, but the waggign stopped.

Make any sence??
