SYSTEM MENU
The Stick Switch function allows you to convert one or more control stick axes into a switch (Stick Switch), then assign a function
to that Stick Switch, using the procedures in the SW ASSIGN menu section. For example, if you are ying a glider that features
spoilers, you can assign the Flap function to the throttle control stick. When the throttle control stick is pushed all the way forward,
the spoilers are retraced. When you pull the throttle control stick all the way down, the spoilers deploy. This is useful for making
spot landings where you need to deploy the spoilers quickly and accurately to reduce lift. Being able to place this function on the
throttle control stick is extremely convenient and user-friendly. Five programmable Stick Switch axes are available. Either side
of the Stick Switch can be programmed ON or OFF and the Point that the Stick Switch turns ON and OFF can be adjusted. An
audible tone can also be programmed to indicate when the Stick Switch turns ON and OFF.
