After my first flight or two of my heli, I was going back through the V-Bar setup screens, and on the Live screen, I realized it has "Down" on the top of the Elevator bar, and "Up" on the bottom.

Well, I already know it flies, but now I'm wondering if I have it backward. I first thought it must mean "Down" on the top because when you move the stick up, the nose moves down. Vice-versa for "Up". But now I'm wondering if I've got it set up backwards...

So, what is "Up"?

(yes, I'm inviting the word "dumb" into the conversation ;)

I ended up talking to LoopZilla, and it turns out my setup is correct. Where it says "Up" and "Down", that means the nose. The stick itself moves as the bar shows, and thus, moving the stick down makes the nose go "Up".

First real flight was this morning, and oh my...

Insane power, nearly absurd responsiveness and agility. I'm like the 14yr old who just stole a Bugatti!
