6 degree tuning

Geometry 6° (tuning)
For proper operation of the Spirit unit, it is necessary to set this parameter correctly. Here, the unit is switched to a special mode for settings 6° of cyclic pitch on the main blades. It is necessary to set the value so that the blades angle is at 6° in the aileron axis. You need to rotate your rotor head with blades to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the model. A higher value increases the angle; a lower one decreases the angle. Optimal head geometry should be in the range of about 90 – 160. If not in this range, it is recommended to adjust the distance of a ball link on the servo horns or perform other mechanical adjustments.
Does this mean the blades need to be in line with the boom, or out to the side?

In line with boom.

Cheers. Yeah I figured it out when the blades moved.wish the manual just said "in line with the boom" :)

The gyro is also enabled on this screen. Maybe it shouldn't be. Makes taking measurements more tricky.

Firstly activate subtrims on servo tab and reset pitch gauge to zero. Then activate 6 degree tuning and set correct value.
