SETUP MENU F - Rudder control direction

1. Move the rudder stick and check the rudder direction on the helicopter. If the stick is moving the servo into the wrong direction use the servo reverse function of your transmitter and reverse the rudder channel to set stick control direction correctly.

2. Now set the rudder direction of the AR7210BX gyro: When you move the rudder stick to the right, the Status LED must light up or flash in blue color. When you move the rudder stick to the left, the Status LED must light up or flash in red color. When the display is inverted (red = right and blue = left) reverse the display (internal control direction) by tapping the aileron(!) stick once.

3. Optional: When you move the rudder stick to full deflection, the Status LED should light solid, not just flash. If this is not the case, increase the servo throw/endpoint of the rudder channel in the transmitter just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the rudder stick reaches the end position. (Note: Do not increase the endpoint too much in the transmitter. We need an exact match of full stick position and stick end position. So the Status LED should just change from flashing to solid when raching the end position.)

Always set servo direction in the transmitter first, then check the display of the AR7210BX or in the software and change the internal control direction if it does not match the real direction. Do not change the internal direction in order to change the servo direction! This is only used for telling the gyro in which direction it must move the servo. Be very conscientious when doing this setup step, as wrong gyro direction will cause loss of control during takeoff and you probably crash the helicopter!

In addition you can check the gyro direction by turning the helicopter by hand around its vertical axis. When turning the heli the gyro must move the servo so that the rotor will produce a counter action agains the turn direction. So later in flight the gyro will stop the helicopter from unwanted movement. Here the LED will light up in blue color when you turn the helicopter to the right and light up in red when you turn it to the left. So you can get a little reminder when you do not know which is the correct stick direction to setup, when you need to do the setup later on the field!
