Please note that the currently active row of settings will be displayed in a bold

font, making it easy to recognize the item currently in use at a glance. The CH1

channel shown in the figure is input by the Ail gimbal, and the three states of the SA

switch are used to switch three stroke amounts.

To edit a mixing control, use the scroll wheel to select the mixing control item
