The "Tail sensitivity" option allows you to adjust the sensitivity either
by specifying fixed values or alternatively by assigning a control chan-
nel (C5 ... C16) that controls the value from the transmitter with a
proportional control. To do this, a rotary or slider control is assigned
to one of the control channels 5 ... 16 and the remaining settings are
left at the default values. In the value field of the "Tail sensitivity"
line, the corresponding channel is then merely to be selected instead
of a fixed value. The current control position is displayed in the
bracket in front, for example "(50) C10", see lower figure under "SWP
sensitivity".
Via corresponding settings in the transmitter, a flight-phase-depen-
dent sensitivity control is also possible.
The max. tail sensitivity is first determined at the highest rotor speed
and it should be flown individually for each speed. It can be increased
until the tail begins to swing up. Afterwards, the tail sensitivity has
to be reduced a little, until in all flight positions no swinging of the
tail is recognizable anymore.
Adjustment range: 1 … 100, MIN or C5 … C16
Note
If a control channel is selected in the "Tail sensitivity" line, but no
channel is assigned to it on the transmitter side, the value in brack-
ets corresponds to the current neutral position of this control chan-
nel.
Tail rate
Sets the max. potential rate of rotation in Rate mode for the tail.
Adjustment range: +50 … +120

In this line an exponential curve for the control of the tail rotor can
be set.
With a setting of "0" a linear control of the tail rotor takes place, with
high percentage values a progressive control is achieved, whereby
the helicopter does not react so sensitive around the middle of the
stick.
Adjustment range: 0 … +50
Note
Expo settings should always be made either in the receiver or in the
transmitter, otherwise the two Expo settings overlap.
