yes i have flon, nothing is reversed
If there's any movement of the APM the gyro initialization process takes longer and may not complete if there is lots of movement, so it must be kept completely still while booting.The gimbal won't work until the APM has booted completely.
The twitches are a remnant of code from the original Ardupilot Legacy which were used to indicate the APL was initializing and that the servo's were working, aileron and elevator used to cycle 3 times.
Not an expert but think this is perfectly normal.
I believe the elevator 3 twitch is the way APM signals that the initialisation process is complete and its now ready for use.
