Rudder Gain Effects
The Rudder Gain Effects plot shows that too low a Rudder Gain will make the heading response
slow and sloppy, if the Rudder Gain is turned down much lower the heading response will
become unstable (do everything but hold heading). The plot also shows, when the Rudder Gain
is set too high, that the heading oscillates with a high frequency, the rudder will be seen to be
oscillating with large amplitude and high frequency as the Rudder Gain becomes "too much."
