The Rudder Gain Effects plot shows that too low a Rudder Gain will make the heading response slow and sloppy, if the Rudder Gain is turned down much lower the heading response will become unstable (do everything but hold heading). The plot also shows, when the Rudder Gain is set too high, that the heading oscillates with a high frequency, the rudder will be seen to be oscillating with large amplitude and high frequency as the Rudder Gain becomes "too much."
