HI, I put my second spirit on my mini titan 360 today and i cannot stop the tail kicking left about 45deg (nose right) when giving collective pumps or testing bailout. I have tried the full range of tail gain, and ideas?

Hi
Check your RPM and rudder servo limits. You will surely see Warning in the log, that rudder reached its limits.
That mean, your rudder is not efficient enough (or is not able) to correct such high force.
Your RPM could be too low, or tail mechanics has some lag.
Also in Minititan there could be issue with push rod which is too soft.
Whole mechanics must go very smoothly, especially because MT has no axial bearings in the rudder.
What is your rudder servo?

Servo is a DN0934 that comes with it, you could be correct about the push rod it is very flimsy i have set it to 200HZ as i cannot find any info on it.
Yes there are lots of rudder limit reached warnings, maybe i should just be gentle with it [emoji2]

OK, you can try to increase your RPM, it could help too.
