BeastX tail gain?

[chugga-bug]

Just wondering what you guys think...
After my maiden flights on my N5 last week, the tail gain ended up at 95% before any wagging in backward flight (now backed off to 90%).
This equates to the 'N' light showing gain on the BeastX unit.

Do you think I should use a longer servo arm? or just leave as is?
Currently using the recommended arm length in the N5 manual.

It's not an N5 but I haven't heard of the gain getting above 38%. Mine wags at 34%. Doesn't sound quite right

If you are getting full throw on your tail pitch I would leave it. I get around 65 percent with mine.

It seems to vary quite a bit depending on your setup. I have my tx gain set between 55% - 65% on two heli's although for most people it seems to be lower. Try adjusting the tail heading lock gain (parameter D). The instructions suggest starting with parameter D set low, increase your tx gain until it wags then increase parameter D. It might be worth moving the tail servo out a hole on the arm, that seemed to bring the gain setting down on mine.

Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

...two ways of looking at it...up gain to a wag and back off...OR.. up gain to where it does what you want, at the lowest setting. In other words if it holds at , say, 40 then why go higher? Al that will do is add stress to the servo

Are you using a DX7? If so, are you using normal ATV's to set the gain or are you using the Gyro menu because obviously this is going to affect what gain you need? Mine is set at 50% on my TRex 700 and on my 500 as well using ATV's although I did notice a very small flutter to the tail in fast backward flight last time I flew my 500 so I might experiment with lowering the gain slightly.

I'm using an 11x gyro menu. My 700 with a Beast is around 48% (G light on the BeastX), the N5 has the 'N' light lit up. The highest it can go.
It flies ok, though I still need to play with the Heading Lock and Dial 3, I just wondered if it's fine to run it with such high gain or should I mechanically adjust it to bring the gyro gain down some?
