If your helicopter was not responding as described above, you may be placing your IMU in a wrong orientation, or
you’ve select a wrong orientation for your IMU in Ace Waypoint Assistant. Please check sensor mounting again.

If the swash is not level (This is not critical), this can be cause by:

IMU is not level to AIR frame;

AIR frame and landing skids are not level to ground.

Make sure that your battery has at least 80% capacity left from being fully charged.

Click [START] button, Ace Waypoint will force all the servos you connected and LEDs working at maximum payload, which will

behave as shaking swashplate and rudder. This will continue for 20 seconds and then stop automatically, you can force it stop by

clicking [STOP] button, or switch to Manual mode.

Ace Waypoint Assistant will inform you the test result (LEDs on GPS will also blinking in yellow if failed condition was matched):

Failed, it means voltage drop below 3.5v, the battery or BEC were not be able to provide necessary power, please change it.

Test passed.

If the swashplate or rudder moves in opposite sequence, you should click reverse button

/

for correction.

If the swashplate or rudder still doesn’t moves as your expected, it may cause by wrong connection between Ace

Waypoint MC and R/C Receiver, please also check the swashplate setting and Tail-Gyro setting.

Very important, check them carefully!
