please help with cyclic setup

[worldgoesmad20081945]

Sorry to ask this stupid question.

I've been flying my TREX450 for about 1.5 years.
I just got a TREX500 and am setting it up.

Today I read a post in helifreak about the cyclic setup.
It says you should have 12 degrees on pitch and 9 degrees on cyclic.

I know what "12 degrees on pitch" means and I have a pitch gauge to do that.

However, I don't what 9 degree on cyclic means. Nor do I know how to measure it.

Can anybody explain what it is and how to adjust my radio to get 9 degree on cyclic?

Cheers,

Try this thread. There are a few posts that explain it, and a link to a post that has a good detailed explanation as well.
