twinkle,
I'll take you from the begining. Go to "etc". Scroll down to "M-SL" ( model select).
This will be the number from 1 to 10 that you want to assign to this model.
Next is "NAM". Give your model a three character name. Next is "MAS"---1:"
this is for mixing. Put "AL" here for the time being. Next is "SLV"--1". Put "AL"
here for the time being. Next is "A--A"--1: =0. This is for mixing servos. You shouldn't need or want this at this time. Next is "MAS"-2 then "SLV"-2 rhen "A--A" 2:=0. This is for your second mixing switch. Same set up "A--A".
Next is "STW" this is a "flight time" timer if you want to use it. Next is "INT" this is the radios internal timer and tells you how long the radio has been "ON" and is cumulative.
Next is "STEP" this is the value of the amount of movement when you use your trim levers.
I would suggest "1" here for the most minor movement resulting in the most accurate trimming of all servos.
Next is "TYP" this is where you select which type of aircraft you want( HELI or AIRPLANE) for tne model number you selected earlier.
This is very important here because if you have not selected "HELI" you will not get the
"swash plate choice in the menu. Next is "SW-R" leave this on normal .
Next is "COPY" this is for copying one model's settings to another model.
Next is "RST" this is "re-set" to reset all values you have assingmed in the radio back to factory defaults.
Next is "MOD" this is the radio frequency modulation:"PPM"."PPR" "PCM-1""PCM-2"
Next is "CLK" this is to turn off and on the clicking "sound" when you activate any trim levers
Next is "BFS" for "battery fail safet" on "PCM" receivers
Next is "DTM" "digital trim memory" you want "ACT" here for activating radio memory of your trim settings.
Next is "SWH" THIS IS WHERE YOU SELECT THE TYPE OF SWASH PLATE SET-UP YOU WANT TO USE.
You have not said what heli you have so for Raptor 50 and 90 you want "NOR" for normal here.
If you are setting up a Trex-450 you want "CP3b" as the type of swash.
I hope this is of some small help and gets you flying.
Regards:cheers

thank you for the menu l.c. i shall try and programme this menu into 1 of the channels,and see how it works,with my bird being a RTF model:arggg: supposedly,am i to assume that the heli is set up near enough by these guys in hong kong to let the average noobie try there hand,or could their centering of servo's arm length etc,leave a lot to be desired,as i'm hoping they have set it up reasonably near to spec,would the menu once programmed in be ok for my use,a noob,again thank you,bob p.s my heli is a 450 trex s cde,dont know what it means
