106 Parameter explanation
106.1 Speed flight stability (Point C)
When in fast forward flight apply jerky collective pitch inputs to test this parameter. The
helicopter should mainly remain in its horizontal flight path during climbing and descend-
ing. If the nose of the helicopter is pitching up and down heavily like a swimming dolphin,
increase the setting to compensate for this effect. But if the value is too high, the helicopter
might feel sluggish and lazy. So it's best to try finding the lowest suitable setting. Note
that the Cyclic Gain (usually set by Dial 1) must be set as high as possible as well. Other-
wise the pitching up just may be the result of too low reaction of the gyro system in general.
If the helicopter is still pitching up at the highest value and maximum possible cyclic gain,
check whether the swashplate has enough cyclic throw at high collective pitch values or use
faster and stronger servos and rotor blades with very neutral phasing (for example blades
specifically designed for flybarless helis).

At PARAMETER MENU point D the rudder rate consistency can be adjusted. This
parameter comes into play when the tail gyro is operated in HeadingLock mode.
