Align FBL tail throw adjustment question

[gogster2k]

Hi!
Hey I got a dumb question and might have the answer already, but need to confirm this with my fellow HeliFreaks on how we adjust the amount of tail-pitch throw after having everything dialed-in correctly and working, but need the tail response to be more better. I was thinking of using the end-point adjustment in the transmitter as the adjustment for the tail, but I may be wrong. I followed the Align FBL setup to the tee, but didn't find anything on setting the tail response in there or on Finless' gyro video. This is on my new TREX 700 converted to electric from the start, plus a Y-cord between the pitch servo and FBL tied to the slave BEC output (5.6 volts) from the Kontronik 120HV ESC (using modes 4 & 10) for power redundancy. I using Futaba BL451 for cyclics, Futaba 7ch 2.4ghz receiver, Futaba BL251 for the tail. Align 690 mains and KBDD tail blades, 2x 6s FlightMax 5000mah 22 volt batts and a Hacker A50 14L turbine with pinion support (14 tooth), Align 115 tooth Mod 1 main gear. You can check the heli out on my profile. She's flying nicely, but could use a bit more tail response.
Thanks in advance!

Just noticed there's a 3g forum, but I don't know how to move this thread.....

Help anybody......?

You need to clarify what you mean by tail response.

Do you want a faster pirouette rate?
If so, then increase the end points for the rudder channel (both sides)

Make sure you set the limits correctly in the tail gyro setup first.

Yes HiroboFreak, faster piro rate is what I'm looking for. I wasn't 100% sure on using the transmitter channel 4 rudder end-point adjustment as I wasn't familiar with the Align gyros. I only played with the Futaba GY401s on my other two helis. I have set the tail end-point adjustments to the tee from the Align FBL manual on pages 30 thru 33 and it operates correctly on the TREX 700e. It's just a bit slow on the rudder stick. The elevator and aileron pots are at defaults and so far there's no bad tendencies on pitch pumps, rolls, loops or FFF using a single layer of the Align Gyro tape for the FBL sensor.
Thanks again!

Here's my new heli.
