For what it is worh, I am a relative beginner as well, and have 3 planes. The trainer, a SIG 4*60 and the Ultra Stick 60. The 4* has flaperons, and the US60 has flaps and crow. I set each according to the manuals, and have had them checked by my people in the club I belong to. Even though I have them programmed, I still haven't used them. You do have that option if you want, and when you believe you are ready, you have the option.
