Your controller probably has an offset like the HYGAIN DCU. RYFM and
recalibrate the controller. First try the default calibration. If that does
not work the offset is either 270 or 90 degrees.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rotor direction display is 90 degrees off
Is it possible that the pot inside my TailTwister rotor has moved? My
antenna direction on my controller now shows 90 degrees off (to the West)
for some reason. I climbed up the tower and confirmed that the mast has not
slipped in the rotator clamp or at the boom to mast clamp. I checked wiring
connections and all seems to be ok. Did the pot move 90 degrees? Anyone ever
see this before? I would appreciate any advice on this before I go through
the trouble of replacing the rotor with a spare. BTW, I am using a Green
Heron Engineering controller.
