I'm having the hardest time remembering which way the gimbal moves with the dial on the remote.  Anyone have any tips on helping remember?

practice plays a big part in this, try a few flights where you focus on just adjusting the gimbal up and down. I like to think of "pulling" the gimble down when moving the dial to the left, and "pushing" the gimble up when moving it to the right.

Muscle memory is best memory. Go and practice like a sports star. fly up and gimbal the camera down to manually track an object. The the same thing flying down and gimbaling up to track the object. Do this a few times and eventually your brain will stop thinking (which way is down?) but rather just think go down and move the finger without thinking about it.

Yup, I had a great time flying today and my muscle memory is getting much better.
