Quick Start Guides
We recommend that you read the introductory information in section one, then proceed to one of the
quick start guides and start programming. After following along with the quick start guide you will have
a feel for the way the FLASH 8 programming is laid out. We encourage you to set up a few aircraft before
you y the FLASH 8. It will be time well spent and help acquaint you with the programming process.
