The Aura is programmable through either PC or mobile device and
every axis has independent gain adjustment and by each ight mode.
All dual rate, expo, travel, and mode programs are adjusted inside the
Aura through the PC/mobile application. An assignable master gain
that is OFF by default can be enabled by the Aura application. If
desired, assign it to CH 8/AUX 3 on a proportional dial or slider.
By default CH5/Gear is used to select the 3 ight modes by 3 position
transmitter switch.
