the controller allows you to make a variety of changes to the simulation without ever taking your hands off of the controller.
To make changes during flight, press the Menu button located on the front of the InterLink-X controller. Press the Up or
Down arrows to select your category of choice. Press the Menu button once again to activate this choice.
