Another beginner question from me...
I built a 3D quad 2.5 in the "+" configuration around Xmas time and am just now trying to get it up into the air. I just re-ran my motor test and I am confused about what to do.
The description says that it begins in the first motor forward (which should be motor 3?) and goes counter-clockwise.
When I run the test the first motor to run is marked 1 and then it proceeds in clockwise fashion (4-2-3).
This is all from the perspective of looking down at the unit sitting on the table props up.
So the motor direction is easy and I can always move the labels but what do I do about the fact that it seems to be sequencing them in the opposite direction?

Clockwise is the correct sequence for the motors to spin up during the "motors" test.
See http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/ac2_props_2/ for the proper spin. The forward motor in a "+" configuration should spin clockwise. Double check you have selected the proper body configuration.
