You must be a JR or Spektrum guy who is used to being told that an aileron must be plugged to output 2, otherwise it won't work

Thomas,

Actually I am very familiar with how PB work. It was therefore surprising that they have gone with pre-assigned slots on the Mercury (have a look in the manual). And yes, you can completely reassign (most of) these slots. I am also familiar with servo matching, but prefer doing all my setup and changes to individual servo's from my transmitter (maybe because I am not a JR or Spectrum guy).

My observation was not a complaint, but a disappointment, as I now had two slots which I cold not use for my flap setup - and had to use two other slots as 'direct' slots. However, after further research, the problem has now been fixed by PB in the V2 update and the two individual 'flap' slots are now individually adjustable from the Tx.

Cheers,

Jan
