• If you are using the G90 gyro, set the gain setting adjustment pot on the gyro to a value of
approximately 50% before conducting the first test flight after installing the gyro. This gain setting
adjustment pot on the gyro is the same pot that you will use for adjusting the gyro gain value after
conducting test flights.
• Once you have made initial adjustments of the gyro gain setting, you will be ready to conduct the first
test flight using your new gyro. After making the initial test flight, take your time adjusting the gyro
gain setting value prior to subsequent test flights in order to find the best possible performance. The
goal, when using a Heading Lock type gyro, is to find the highest gain setting value at which the tail of
the helicopter will not twitch quickly from side to side in all areas of flight (including fast forward flight
and descents).
Note: Although you should now be using a Heading Lock type gyro to help better maintain tail
and heading lock performance during flight, it may be necessary to make small adjustments to the
rudder trim setting on the transmitter in order to prevent “drifting” of the nose/tail of the helicopter.
The amount of trimming required may vary depending on the gyro used and flying conditions.
Now that you have properly installed and configured a heading lock gyro on your Blade CP+, you
will note a significant improvement in the ability for the tail motor power system to maintain heading
and position throughout all areas of flight. Do note, however, that the tail motor power system does still
have some limitations in its performance envelope and that you should take your time when learning
these limits. In general, these limitations do not impact the majority of maneuvers the Blade CP+ is
capable of, and you will find the performance of the tail motor power system, when combined with the
heading lock gyro, is very good overall.
