Don't move the model during gyro self-test time.
Trouble shooting
Model pirouettes violently as soon as it starts to lift off.
Gyro sense has been set incorrectly. Repeat the rudder control sense checks and the auto setup routine to rectify
Model tail wags from side to side in the hover.
Reduce the gyro gain (using the gain channel travel adjustment)
Model flies OK in one gyro mode but wags when switched to the other mode.
You have too much gain in one of the gyro flight modes. Reduce the gain channel travel adjustment for the mode that wags.
Tail response is not crisp.
Too little gyro gain. Gradually increase travel adjustment of the gain channel until tail shows some tendency to wag and then reduce it back
until wag just stops.
Model wags even when the gain is very low.
Possible causes: Slop in pitch linkage. Friction in pitch linkage. Tail hub bearings locking up under load. Servo is very slow. Short servo arm
with excessive servo travel.
Model hovers steadily in mode 1 but starts to rotate when switched to mode 0.
The mechanical tail pitch trim is outside the auto trim range. Adjust the length of the tail push rod to correct this.
Model flies OK on first few flights of the day but tail starts to wag on later flights.
Servo consumption with fast gyros is high, and falling battery voltage reduces servo performance making the tail system less stable. Cycle
receiver battery and check its capacity. Also consider using a fast Delta -peak charger to top up battery between flights.
Model was OK last season but after the winter in store the tail now wags.
Check the tail control linkage for free movement. Pay special attention to the pitch slider and the tail hub bearings. Receiver battery may have
developed a high internal resistance. Cycle the battery and check its capacity. It may show a normal capacity at low discharge rates, but a much
reduced capacity when measured at say 3 amps discharge rate indicating a high internal resistance.
Model rotates OK one way but is slow and/or inconsistent the other way.
Too little tail pitch available in the affected direction. Re-set servo travel limits using auto-setup routine.
