Detail program description - Control adjust
value on this line so that a glow motor is held at a safe 
idle during the auto-rotation phase without the clutch 
engaging; electric drive systems should be set safely to 
"Off". 
Note:
You may wish to make use of the "Motor Stop" option 
on the "Base setup model" menu as an alternative 
"Emergency STOP" function.
Tail rotor AR
In normal fl ight, the tail rotor is set so that it 
compensates for motor torque while the model is 
hovering. It therefore generates some a certain amount 
of thrust even in its normal position. The level of thrust is 
then varied by the tail rotor control system, and also by 
the various mixers which provide all manner of torque 
compensation, while the tail rotor trim is also used to 
compensate for varying weather conditions, fl uctuations 
in system rotational speed and other infl uences.
For auto-rotation, however, the main rotor is not driven 
by the motor, but by the "windmill" principle. Since this, 
in turn, does not generate any torque for which the tail 
rotor must compensate, all corresponding mixers are 
switched off automatically.
Since the absence of torque in auto-rotation also means 
the above-mentioned thrust is superfl uous, however, a 
different tail rotor confi guration is also required:
Cut the motor and place the helicopter on the ground in 
a level attitude. With the transmitter and receiving system 
switched on, select the fl ight phase "Auto-rotation" and 
then fold the tail rotor blades down. Now change the 
value on the "Tail rotor" line until the tail rotor blade angle 
of attack is zero degrees. Viewed from the tail, the tail 
rotor blades should be parallel to one another. 
Depending on the friction and running resistance of the 
gearbox, the fuselage may still yaw slightly, however. This 
relatively slight torque must then be corrected if necessary 
by adjusting the tail rotor blade pitch angle. This value 
will always be a fi gure between zero degrees and a pitch 
angle opposed to the pitch angle in normal fl ight.
