2. Now set the internal control direction for the BEASTX gyro: When you push elevator <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''forwards'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''blue'''</span> color. When you pull elevator <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''backwards'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''red'''</span> color. When you move aileron to the <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''right'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''blue'''</span> color. When you move aileron to the <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''left'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''red'''</span> 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: <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''aileron right + elevator forwards the Status LED must be blue'''</span>, <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''aileron left + elevator backwards the Status LED must be red.'''</span> When the LED is purple or shines in the contrary color, you've not set the correct option.<br />

'''In addition you can check the gyro direction by turning the helicopter by hand around its horizontal and longitudinal axis.''' When turning the heli the gyro must move the swashplate 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 always light up in '''blue''' color when you turn the helicopter to the '''right''' or '''forwards''' and light up in '''red''' when you turn it to the '''left''' or '''backwards'''. This is to give you a little reminder when you need to do the setup later on the field and you can't rememeber what color stands for what direction!}}<br />

1. When you see the adjustment screen for the cyclic directions move the stick(s) for '''aileron and elevator''' on the radio and check whether the swashplate is '''moved correctly''' on the helicopter.<br />
1. When you see the adjustment screen for the cyclic directions 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.)<br />

'''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.<br />

2. Now adjust the internal control direction of the BEASTX gyro: When you push elevator <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''forwards'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''blue'''</span> color and you should see the label '''forwards''' getting <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''blue'''</span> as well. When you pull elevator <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''backwards'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''red'''</span> color and you should see the label '''backwards''' getting <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''red'''</span> as well. When you move aileron to the <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''right'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''blue'''</span> color. When you move aileron to the <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''left'''</span>, the Status LED must light up or flash in <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''red'''</span> color. '''When the display is inverted (red = right or forwards and blue = left or backwards) reverse the display (internal control direction) by choosing one of the four buttons below the direction label.<br />
