RE: Aurora 9Ch, Spectra Pro & Optima - FAQ & Undocumented Features - Mixes, Setups, Tips.
I posted this in one of the other threads - please excuse me if you are reading it twice.
Well I found something not to do!!
I was testing the setup for a plane with the transmitter "on" checking throws and such. Throttle lock was enabled.
I wanted to do some things with spoilerons and went to the model type screen. I then tapped the "motor" icon and changed it to Motor + Air-brake - WRONG thing to do with the transmitter "on".
My motor started up and left Aileron went to full up!!!! I powered down the transmitter before any damage was done, but had quite a scare.
So what happened? My existing servo configuration was replaced with the default configuration that had my left aileron on ch 3 where the ESC was plugged in. Since the stick was in its neutral position the motor started and the left aileron went up because the throttle stick was in its lowest position.
With all the warning messages that the Aurora gives, you would think that it would be smart enough to know that it was about to replace a non default configuration and display a warning.
Mike - please think about that for a future update.
So be aware that the existing configuration will be over written without warning and unexpected things can result.
