You can't use the adjustment on the timing gun on a DSM. Just set it at zero, otherwise it won't be right.

You need to ground the timing so that it runs 5 degree at every RPM. You should be able to tell when it is successfully grounded because it won't move around much when you increase the RPMs. Sometimes the ground plug doesn't though, or you just won't have one if you are trying to do it on a 2G. You can ground it on a 2G in DSMLink though.

If you can't ground it, you can also use a datalogger and try to monitor the timing advance that it says it is running on the datalogger and sync the timing to that.

There should be a mark with a 0 above it, that is obviously 0 degrees. 5 is the mark between 0 and 10. The mark after 10 is 15.
