==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.'''<br />

<br />

<br />

2. Now set the rudder direction of the MICROBEAST PLUS gyro: When you move the rudder stick 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 the rudder stick 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 and blue = left), '''reverse the display (internal control direction) by tapping the aileron(!) stick once.'''<br />

2. Now set the rudder direction of the MICROBEAST PLUS gyro: When you move the rudder stick 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 the rudder stick 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 and blue = left) reverse the display (internal control direction) by tapping the aileron(!) stick once.'''<br />

<br />

<br />

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.)<br />

To activate the rudder adjustments click the '''Adjust button''' in the corresponding table row (when using the '''Wizard''' function this will be done automatically when you click the '''Next button''' after adjusting Menu Point D).<br />

1. When you move the rudder stick to full deflection, the Status LED on the MICROBEAST PLUS should light solid and the label ''right'' or ''left'' should change the color accordingly. If the stick is not moving far enough, you will see the message "Increase!" In this 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''' and the label will disappear in the software. Repeat this for the other direction. 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.<br />

1. When you move the rudder stick to full deflection, the Status LED on the MICROBEAST PLUS should light solid and the label ''right'' or ''left'' should change the color accordingly. If the stick is not moving far enough, you will see the message "Move stick to max. position! Check Status LED." In this 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''' and the label will disappear in the software. (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.)<br />

2. Now connect the rudder servo to [CH4] port of MICROBEAST PLUS as described above 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. Now when the servo is moving correctly set the rudder direction of the MICROBEAST PLUS gyro: When you move the rudder stick/servo 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 the rudder stick 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 and blue = left), reverse the display (internal control direction) by choosing either ''normal'' or ''inverted'' in the software.'''<br />

<br />

<br />

2. Now connect the rudder servo to [CH4] port of MICROBEAST PLUS as described above and adjust the servo limit by changing the values in the two adjustment boxes for each direction. To do so, carefully use the rudder stick to move the servo to the endpoint (watch out to not jam the servo) and increase/decrease the endpoint as necessary.<br />

4. Finally set the rudder direction of the MICROBEAST PLUS gyro: When you move the rudder stick/servo 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 the rudder stick 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 and blue = left), reverse the display (internal control direction) by choosing either ''normal'' or ''inverted'' in the software.'''<br />

3. Finally adjust the servo limit by changing the values in the two adjustment boxes for each direction. To do so, carefully use the rudder stick to move the servo to the endpoint (watch out to not jam the servo) and increase/decrease the endpoint as necessary.<br />

{{QUOTE|Always set servo direction in the transmitter first, then check the display on the MICROBEAST PLUS 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!<br />

'''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.}}<br />

Please note: This shows only an example for the ALIGN T-Rex 500 helicopter. Actually the tail pitch slider may move to a different position on your helicopter. This mainly depends on how the tail blade grips are controlled and how the tail mechanics is constructed in general. Check the manual of your helicopter to find out which directions the rudder must move on your helicopter.<br />
