(ZSE)
Zoom mode is exited by pushing forward on the elevator stick. With the default configuration, the pilot must ensure
that the brake stick is in the ‘off’ position
when exiting Zoom mode, otherwise the brakes will deploy suddenly.
Zoom Safe Exit (ZSE) is an optional interlock which prevents this. When ZSE is enabled, the brake stick must be in the
‘off’
position in order to exit Zoom mode. If the brake stick is not in the off position, then pushing forward on the
elevator stick will not exit Zoom mode.
ZSE is
disabled by default. It’s
enabled by editing logical switch L13.

The ‘!’ in front of L12 signifies ‘inverse’

On other radios like the Radiomaster
Zorro, there is a separate ‘invert’ option.
