What you're seeing is probably right however I would move it from the switch to a rotary or slider and fly the model crosswind as fast as you are ever likely to fly it while turning the yellow gain up slowly until you're happy with it or the the surfaces start to oscillate then wind it back slightly. Then when you land check the the % travel you have wound in and then move the channel back to the switch to a 3 position switch and program in the same travel. I don't use the heading hold so I always wind that back to zero incase the switch inadvertently gets moved.
