Notice

1. Transmitter calibration

In First Time Setup-Configuration-Radio Control Calibration, there is something that you may need to pay special attention to.

For roll, throttle and yaw channels, the green bars should move in the same direction as the transmitter’s physical sticks. For pitch, the green bar should move in the opposite direction to the transmitter’s physical stick.

If one of the green bars moves in the incorrect direction reverse the channel in the transmitter itself. If it is not possible to reverse the channel in the transmitter you may reverse the channel in ArduPilot by checking the “Reversed” checkbox (Plane and Rover only). If the checkbox is not visible it is possible to reverse the channel by directly changing the RCx_REVERSED parameter (where “x” is the input channel from 1 to 4).
