	The gyro always tries to steer in the opposite direction of the rotation that is applied to the helicopter.When tilting the helicopter forwards the swashplate has to move backwards, when tilting the helicopter to the rear, the swashplate has to compensate forward. Same thing applies to the roll axis: when you roll the helicopter to the left the swashplate has to steer right and vice versa. Basically the swashplate has to remain horizontal all the time while banking the helicopter.<br />		The gyro always tries to steer in the opposite direction of the rotation that is applied to the helicopter.When tilting the helicopter forwards the swashplate has to move backwards, when tilting the helicopter to the rear, the swashplate has to compensate forward.

At SETUP MENU point '''I''' we teach the the control directions to the system, so that it moves the swashplate in the correct direction when trying to control the helicopter. 
 

= Adjustment on the device = 
1. Move the stick(s) for '''aileron''' and elevator''' on the radio and check whether the swashplate is '''moved correctly''' on the helicopter. 
(Note for beginners: the swashplate must follow the stick movement, so pushing elevator forward will tilt the swashplate forwards, adding aileron to the right will move the swash to the right and so on.) 
'''If the stick is moving the swashplate into the wrong direction use the reverse function of your transmitter''' and reverse the aileron and/or elevator channel in the transmitter to set stick control direction correctly. 
 
2. Now set the internal control direction for the MICROBEAST ULTRA gyro: When you push elevator '''forwards''', the Status LED must light up or flash in '''blue''' color. When you pull elevator '''backwards''', the Status LED must light up or flash in '''red''' color. When you move aileron to the '''right''', the Status LED must light up or flash in '''blue''' color. When you move aileron to the '''left''', the Status LED must light up or flash in '''red''' color. '''When the display is inverted (red = right or forwards and blue = left or backwards) reverse the display (internal control direction) by tapping the rudder stick.''' There are four possible options, only one is correct! In short: '''aileron right + elevator forwards the Status LED must be blue''', '''aileron left + elevator backwards the Status LED must be red.''' When the LED is purple or shines in the contrary color, you've not set the correct option. 
 
3. Optional: When you move stick(s) 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 aileron and elevator channel in the transmitter just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the stick(s) reach the end positions'''. (Note: Do not increase the endpoints 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 reaching the end positions.)

=Extra info: Why setting stick endpoints?= 
This ensures that control range of the radio system matches the internal range of MICROBEAST ULTRA. Later when setting the control style you can adjust how fast your helicopter will roll and tilt. To get reproducable results you have to match your radio to the system! 
 
 

=Extra info: How the gyro works!= 
The gyro always tries to steer in the opposite direction of the rotation that is applied to the helicopter.When tilting the helicopter forwards the swashplate has to move backwards, when tilting the helicopter to the rear, the swashplate has to compensate forward. Same thing applies to the roll axis: when you roll the helicopter to the left the swashplate has to steer right and vice versa. Basically the swashplate has to remain horizontal all the time while banking the helicopter.
