Default Can I re-level the accelerometers with unit on it's top?

I'm going to revel to try and get rid of a drift. Something I noticed when I pulled the unit out of the heli the four bolts in the bottom protrude out at differing heights. I turned them a little but there is still a variance of as much as .2mm. If I could just lay it on it's top which is flat, I think this would do the trick.

Does anybody know if that is ok?

Personally i think this is an excellant idea and have done all four of mine like this. However it is easy to get the level wrong so be very carefull. I pulled off the head and made sure the mast was perfectly vertical all around. Took some time to get right with wedges under skids etc. after this for interest sake i took a level reading on the top of the motor. Again in all four helis this was spot on, so i will use the motor for reference from now on.

Yes, that's what I'm saying, I'll remove the screws instead.

Thanks!

It didn’t work for me, I see there is another thread about this. I hit the button, dialog box disappears and then nothing. This was with the 3.12 software.
