    3.4.2 Flight Mode（Flight Modes） The flight mode allows you to set the corresponding fine-tuning value for a specific mission or flight behavior. This item is mainly used for fixed-wing gliders to use different fine-tuning values in different environments. You can customize the fine-tuning value of 1-6 channels, and you can set it for each flight.
  • Page 23 They are also specific flight modes, which avoids having to use separate mixing lines with different values for each flight mode. This greatly simplifies mixing pages and makes them easier to understand. By using the "Adjust GVx" option in the Special Functions page, you can even adjust global variables on the fly, so you can quickly optimize settings such as double-rate ratio, exposure, differential, flap to elevator conversion, and more.
