    Some small electric flight models use only elevator, throttle, and rudder channels (not aileron). Here, it's often preferred that the rudder be controlled with the opposite stick (right stick for mode 2 configurations). Such channel re-assignment can be done in this screen. Determine which tx channe...

    Sub-trim: finely adjusts a channel's center position. Be aware that extreme adjustments of sub-trim could possibly result in servo binding if the servo's output arm moves too far in the model. This is available for all channels. Travel limits: sets the maximum travel limits for each channel. Limits ...

    The method for making adjustments in this screen is the same as described above. In the wing type menu, if the flap selection is set to 2ai1fl and the tail selection is set to delta, the elevator-to-aileron mixture will automatically be fixed to 100%. If the 1ai1fl wing type is selected the elevator...
