	The ~~following signs have been used in the radio configuration files distributed in <tt>conf/radios</tt>:~~		The philosophy is to follow standard aerospace conventions:

	* '''ROLL''': The <tt>min</tt> attribute value stands for the right position of the stick (turning right)
	* '''PITCH''': The <tt>max</tt> attribute value stands for the up position of the stick (pitching up)

	~~''' From "v3.9" on this has been changed~~ to follow standard aerospace conventions:~~'''~~
	* '''ROLL''': The <tt>max</tt> attribute value stands for the right position of the roll stick (banking right)		* '''ROLL''': The <tt>max</tt> attribute value stands for the right position of the roll stick (banking right)
	* '''PITCH''': The <tt>max</tt> attribute value stands for the "up" position of the pitch stick pulled towards you (pitching up)		* '''PITCH''': The <tt>max</tt> attribute value stands for the "up" position of the pitch stick pulled towards you (pitching up)
	* '''YAW''': The <tt>max</tt> attribute value stands for the right position of the yaw stick (yawing clock-wise)		* '''YAW''': The <tt>max</tt> attribute value stands for the right position of the yaw stick (yawing clock-wise)

			If you still use a Paparazzi version '''older''' than v4.0, this roll and pitch might be reverse. seriously consider updating your Paparazzi version.

	* when the ROLL stick is pulled to the right (aircraft banks right), you should see a value close to -MAX_PPRZ (-9600) in the ROLL channel
