Tail gain settings on Speed

I have a Gaui R5 Speed model that has been flying very well for many flights now, however I would like to experiment with using settings that do not completely lock the tail so rigidly in flight so that the tail of the model will weathervane a bit in the Speed run.

The model uses very small tail blades considering its size to reduce parasitic drag, so I dont think full on rate mode is a good idea as I dont want to be chasing the tail all over the place as soon as the model lifts off. A sudden load change could potentially cause a spin in this case if not moving in FFF

What would be suggested in the case? Simply lower the P gain as far as possible without bad behavior by running the lowest value that I can get away with in my TX, or keep the P gain where it is currently and lower the I gain using the piro consistency value as much as possible?

Thanks!

I recommend to decrease Pirouette Consistency by 10-25 points.
Then to add some Revomix which should help during load.
This will eliminate any possible oscillation even during very high speed.

Decreasing Gyro Gain little bit can be also helpful.

Thanks so much Tomas!
