5.

 

Enter Cruise mode 

6.

 

Adjust weight for required 

up-

aileron movement (down 

movement is affected by diff setting to be adjusted later) 

7.

 

If Expo is required, skip to Curve field, choose ‘Expo’ as 
the curve type, and set required value in adjacent field.  

Note:  

The curve (‘Expo’, ‘Diff’ etc.) is applied at the stick 

level. 

Do not set a value using the Diff curve type

 as it will 

result in asymmetric stick response 
If particular flight modes require non-default rates or expo, 
then insert additional input(s)

 

before the CATCHALL line

Each new input should have one or more flight mode 
numbers enabled, and appropriate weight and expo. Flight 
mode numbers as follows: 
 

0: Thermal 

 

2: Power 

 

3: Landing 

 

4: Cruise 

Safety note

The 

CATCHALL

 line must have all flight modes 

enabled, no switch and 

Important - it must be the last (or 

the only) line.
