good morning Bentgear. Yes...the rudder follows the stick correctly, and the rudder moves in the right direction to counter a yaw, so I guess it is set to go. I don't yet understand the "delay" setting though, and I'm not sure about the sensitivity either. I set the sensitivity to the values as described in the example on the instruction sheet....which as I recall were something like "72" in AVCS and "54" in normal.
Flying in AVCS mode seems like it would be a disaster, because the gyro holds the last rudder stick input. Fortunately the rudder will re-center as soon as the tx switches the gyro back to normal. My guess is that it may be useful on a takeoff, where you want to maintain a straight line, (and of course keep my fingers off the rudder stick during the roll out) but I would switch it to normal as soon as the plane lifts off. In normal mode, my plan is to fly it and see what it does....tail-wag...etc, and adjust the sensitivity from there....and maybe the delay too??? This has been a steep learning curve for me...sort of a 8 hour crash course..ooops...did I say crash? Oh well, we shall see soon enough. Perhaps I will obtain the performance I am seeking in normal mode and not ever use AVCS mode. That would be good. I want to try and discover why it has taken over my dual rate on the rudder, and left me with just a single rate. I typically use high rudder rate for taxiing, and a lower rate for most flying. Bearing in mind, this is a Cub...not a 3D machine. More Futaba mysteries I guess.
