The newbie has a question again. I am getting ready to go out and practice some hovering with a previously owned Nexus which I've purchased. I want to be sure all is working correctly! Can anybody advise on some pre flight checks to be certain all is working as it should. Is there a simple test to check if the gyro is functioning as it should be, and not reversed? Also, can you advise the direction that the tail rudder should be turning/pointing with the left and right movement of the stick. I think I know about the swash, ele, aerilon movement, etc. Swash should pull down with up stick, correct?

I turned on both the heli receiver, and my transmitter today, and it appears that some functions were moving in the opposite direction, even though the transmitter menus were set to normal. I had to reverse some of the servo settings. The last time that I had both on, they all seemed fine, and I hadn't been in messing with the menu. All that I had done since was charge both batteries. Anybody have any ideas on this. I don't want to get off to a bad first experience from the get go, and I haven't any clubs, or individuals nearby that are into the RC helis. I really want to be able to fly these helis, so I have to learn on my own, and self taught is my only option at this point, other than help from all of you guys. Thanks to all!
