On Soap Box:
Not just smaller planes, but for those that really don't need all the advanced capabilities.
Consider a Tiger 60. Does that need all of the crap that an advanced transmitter offers or does it really care? It can be flown with the barest minimum of direct setup and mechanical linkage and without all the fancy mixing, and flown very well.
This is the idea behind a Beginners Forum. "Beginners" being the key word. There are occasions when we can mention or even offer suggestions advanced settings, but not in a way that it is the only way they can fly an RV9 or a Tiger 60.
Given a Vivat or Focus 2 meter pattern plane.. well, all bets are off, but as I said, those are NOT beginner type aircraft and the settings are definitely NOT at the beginners leve.
