Flight Mode Name Setup

The Flight Mode Name Setup creates a custom name for a
particular flight mode as shown on the transmitter screen.
Tip: If you change languages, names are not automatically
translated.

Channel Sources

The Channel Sources screen is used to assign any input to an
output channel, including any switch, slider, knob, or gimbal.

Trim Setup

The Trim Step function allows servo movement adjustment per
click of trim. For example you usually want a large trim step (8 to
10) for a new model. Each click of trim will have a large amount
of trim travel so you can quickly adjust an out-of trim model in
flight. Later you can use a finer trim step (1-5) to adjust for pre-
cise flight. The Trim Step function allows the trims to be common
or independent in each active flight mode. Many helicopter pilots
use independent trims because they are automatically active
when a flight mode is activated.
Important: The trim step function has no effect on the overall
trim travel, only the total number of clicks available. If you select
a 0 value in trim step, the trim is turned off.
Common Trim - When common trim is selected, trim values are
common in all flight modes.
F-Mode Trim - When F-Mode is selected, each flight mode
including hold has its own trims that are automatically active
when that flight mode is selected.
Tip: In Aircraft Mode, the Throttle trim can be set to the digital
throttle trim, or the left or right lever. In Helicopter Mode, the
Throttle and Pitch can be set to the Right Knob, Left and Right
Lever, and Left and Right upper trimmers. Also in Helicopter
Mode, the Gyro and Governor Trim can be set to the Left and
Right upper trimmers.

Trim Type
Normal and crossed trims swap positions of the rudder and
aileron trims as well as the elevator and throttle.
You cannot adjust trims on channels connected through an
X-Plus Module.
The throttle trim only works on the lower half of the throttle stick
operation, and then it works as a function of the stick position
such that trim has 0 effect with the stick at neutral or higher,
and it scales linearly until full trim is added when the stick is at
the full "low throttle" position. In other words, throttle trim has
NO effect when the stick is toward the high-throttle position.
When the stick is mid-way between high- and low-throttle, the
trim value is 50% effective, and when the throttle stick is at
minimum then the trim is 100% effective.
