gimbal setup on the 3DR X8

H

I have just started setting upp my 3 axis gimbal on the apm. Att first I was considering using my Tarot ZYX-GS controller but it is easier to connect straight to the APM.

I connect to rc11 and rc10. I will skipp pan untill later.

I run through the setup and everything seems to work in basic, it stabilizes both axis and i can controll tilt with channel 6 but....

Trying to set the retract angle doesn't seem to make a difference. If I have my channel 6 knob in the middle I have a 35% tilt downward, What is supposed to happen when i change the retract angle? How do I set the "level" position of my servos?

Thanks for any input or ideeas :)
