Default Question for new install

I've just installed the quark outrage on my Blade 450. The instructions say "Warning".... Before configuring your gyro ensure that the rudder reversing has been correctly set at the transmitter.
Does that mean that the reversing switch for the rudder needs to be set to "reverse" instead of normal?

Yea I know... I'm all here but not all there. Just not thinking clearly.

Thanks

Depending on the radio brand, servro, linkage design, etc you may need to activate rudder reversing on the radio. You can confirm this by looking at the tail blades. If reversing is needed it must be done before you move to the gyro setup.

Thanks Angelos,
I knew I was having a blonde moment even though my hair is salt / pepper. Hey... it has turned grey but hasn't turned loose.

Anyway...got everything set up last night...and yes for my DX8 and the Blade 450, I had to have the rudder reversed in the radio. Did the set up with the gyro and noticed that I needed to reverse the gyro for correct correction and everything else went great. I only noticed that with the factory servo and wheel that the tail slider isn't getting 100 percent because the ball link goes to the 9 and 3 position, from 12'oclock, before it gets there. I'll check out the new servo and servo arm when it comes in and measure the distance from the servo arm center to the ball link hole to see if it is a bit further out which would solve that issue.
What an awesome little package. If the weather holds, I'll be giving the heli a go this afternoon...but we are here in the UK so it changes all the time. I'm using the stock servo just to see if my tail issue is gone, and if so, will tell me if my factory brand new gyro was bad or not. Got a better tail servo coming so I'm sure that will go in as well once it arrives.
I really hope that the Quark Outrage has completely transformed this B450.

Thanks
