Adjusting throttle stick deadband
The spoiler stick has some deadband defined, in order to prevent accidental deployment of spoiler. The amount of

Some notes on servo calibration (CAL mode)
Servo calibration (in CAL mode) is for more than just the initial setup! You should check your calibration
before flying each session - it will help identify any servo centring issues or bent linkages which might
otherwise remain undetected.
Never copy your trim settings to the subtrims. Not only is it unnecessary, it will trash your CAL settings.
