The GAIN pot


Well, the gain can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
For new pilots or beginners that are working on hovering. I STRONGLY recommend you set the gain as high as possible without making the tail wag back and forth.

Here's the low down on how to adjust it.
You should already have the proportional pot adjusted.

Turn the gain all the way up.....thats right...all the way up. Towards the + plus sign.
Be VERY careful not to overturn the pot. You will feel it stop. Dont force it past that or you will damage the gyro.

Our friends over at E-flite thought ahead and realized that you should not have to turn the heli off to adjust the gain. OHHHHHH GOODY GOODY!!!!

So pop it up into a hover. If the tail wags back and forth, bring your beloved heli back to earth, stop the blades, and turn it down a little. Pop it back up into a hover.....does it still wag back and forth, or does it feel "loose" and unstable.

If its still wagging back and forth, turn it down a little more.

If it feels "loose", you turned it down too much...turn it up a tad.

Keep doing this until the tail stays stable, and requires very little correction on the stick.



By now Im sure youve noticed a BIG increase in how well the helicopter flys. GO ahead.....burn a battery pack. Dont get too excited though....Ive got more for ya.
