configured on the mode or submode switches. Non GPS flight modes, such as 2D and 3D, do not have the
“(GPS)” designation in the table below.
To configure the Mode switch positions, navigate to the “New Airframe Checklist”, and select the “Set up
Mode/Submode Switches” menu item. Then, select the function of each of the up to 5 Mode switch positions.
Your switch positions may be reversed from the illustration, depending on your radio settings.
Note that for most radios, 2 position radio switches will correspond to mode/submode positions 1 and
5, and 3 position radio switches will correspond to mode/submode positions 1, 3 and 5.
To take advantage of more than 3 positions on most radios, you will need to have the radio mix multiple
switches together. The PWM requirements for each mode/submode switch position can be seen by hovering
the mouse over the mode switch setup area in the software.
The following chart lists the modes that can be programmed for each of the Mode switch positions (see section
6.11.1 – ‘Flight Mode Description’ for a description of these flight modes):
