Conditions: Honeybee King, normal gyro, all trims centered, Left stick at zero, Right stick centered (Mode 2), tail rotor servo setup so the servo arm is perpendicular to the T/R push arm and T/R blades with zero pitch.
Procedure: Tx on, connecto power, gyro initializes and T/R servo repositions itself (no longer perpendicular to the push arm) and sets the servo push arm to produce a slight positive pitch (about 3-4 degrees) to the T/R blades.
Questions: 1) Is this normal for the T/R servo to do?
2) Was my procedure prior to poering up correct?

if the slider centered then all is good and your start up sounded correct.
