Tom.. here is an example of how to set everything up when doing 3d on the 8103. I know this is a good manual.. on this page:

I am guessing for the 10x there will be a good manual here:

Basically went to jrradios.com which is just a shortcut to horizon area. Look up the 10x air.. there are some links there and on the manuals link.

Personally.. Even when starting out.. I tried to set everything up.. 3d rates, flaps, and spoilerons. Then I just did not touch the switches for the first few flights. Made sure I knew how to work all the switches really well of course in case i hit one. Anyways.
