Folks,

Is there any type of "standard" setup used by folks flying pattern? I don't mean realtive to values used as these are pilot and airplane specific. I mean which switch is assigned what function. I know some guys assign "cross trims" so the elevator and throttle trims are assigned backwards. I currently have all three control surfaces (aileron, rudder and elevator) assigned to a single switch, and was told yesterday that I should assign them seperately. I would like to learn a "better way" and thought I try to find out if the is any type of standard commonly used. When I ask for help, it would be good to have my transmitter seem similar to what others are familar with. Any help is appreciated. BTW, I have a Futaba 12Z transmitter, so any setup configuration is likely possible, and not too hard to accomplish with my handy dandy Futaba User's Manual.
