on top of the rotor where mast past sits in has a arrow

i assume this is for north or magnetic north?



ok so rotor is pointing north

i click brake then counter clockwise>>>> this should take me northwest then west around to south



then back at north again i click brake then clockwise>>>>> this should take me northeast then east then around south.



well it backwards
