X20/X20S and Ethos v1.5.0 User Manual
Accept the default Traditional Tail (which has Elevator and Rudder).
Accept the default 1 channel for Elevator and 1 channel for Rudder.
We will name the model 'FWexample', and follow the wizard to the end which results in the
'FWexample' model being created in the Airplane group. Note that model names can be up
to 15 characters. It will also be made the active model, so we can continue to configure its
features.
