Your transmitter's instruction manual is the best place to find information on how to assign channels in your transmitter. For
most
Spektrum transmitters, you can follow the instructions below.

Navigate to your transitter's "System Setup" menu. This is typically done by holding the scroll wheel down while powering
on your transmitter.
Locate the "Channel Assign" menu and enter it by selecting with a press of the scroll wheel.
Once in the Channel Assign menu, navigate to the page titled "Channel Input Configuration."
Locate Channel 5 (Gear) and select the two-position switch you want to control the Flex F3 Profiles (Beginner/Advanced
Profiles). You can reverse Channel 5 to reverse the switch direction if desired.
Locate Channel 6 (Aux 1) and select the three-position switch you want to control the Flight Configurations (Hover/45°
Magic/Conventional Configurations). We set this on a switch so that the up or forward switch position is the Conventional
Flight Configuration (forward flight = forward switch). You can reverse Channel 6 to reverse the switch direction if desired.
Use the back button to navigate back the home flying screen.
Click the scroll wheel and navigate to your transmitter's "Monitor." Verify Channel 5 (Gear) and Channel 6 (Aux 1) move
accordingly when you move the switches assigned in steps 4 and 5.
