    // @Description: Tail type selection.  Simpler yaw controller used if external gyro is selected. Direct Drive Variable Pitch is used for tails that have a motor that is governed at constant speed by an ESC.  Tail pitch is still accomplished with a servo.  Direct Drive Fixed Pitch (DDFP) CW is used for helicopters with a rotor that spins clockwise when viewed from above. Direct Drive Fixed Pitch (DDFP) CCW is used for helicopters with a rotor that spins counter clockwise when viewed from above. In both DDFP cases, no servo is used for the tail and the tail motor esc is controlled by the yaw axis.
