DO NOT DISCHARGE THE RECIVER BATTERY BY SWITCHING ON AND LEAVING IT. The receiver battery does not have the low battery warning built in only the transmitter has this facility and even then you have to switch off manually. As I said before as your equipment is new don't bother with the discharge charge cycle yet.

Convention and the stupid English language has added the x to Tx and Rx its just the way everyone reffers to them.

The charger that came with your equipment has a very safe and low charge rate this allows charging overnight without problems. Your glow plug energiser battery charger also will have a low charge rate, so over night should also be OK.

On the sub-trim and ATV are you refering to % if so they can be up to 100%, but if your sub-trim is up that high, I would suggest you need to adjust the control surfaces on the aircraft to bring them back to sonewhere approximating 0%. ATV as Travel Adjustment is normally refered to in manuals is an adjustment to allow maximum throw of the control surfaces without stalling the servo. If you need to reduce the throw of the surface move the control rod out at the surface/control horn or in on the servo arm, this will give you better resolution on the servo rather than cutting down the amount of movement.

Hope that is clear, but I repeat do not switch on the receiver and leave it to discharge.
