Well I thought the purpose of the little canned top level menu that leads you through # number of engines, wings, tails, air brake, fuel adjust etc was designed to speed up the basic model set up so you don't have to stop and assign channels and servos for basic model set up?

What am Imissing?
Maybe nothing. The first thing I do is set up my channel assignments and I have never used the setup "wizard". I like knowing exactly what is going on, it takes less time to do it myself than it does to use the wizard and then try to figure out what it did and then correct it to the way I want it.

But that's just me. So I don't know what the default setup is because I never use it.

Sorry to appear ignorant. Really, I feel silly that I don't know the answer to probably the most basic question because I always just skip over that part.

Tom - I have to admit to the same thing. In fact, I wasn't even AWARE there was a Wizard !!! I just start out with channel/stick axis assignment, then go from there. And I use the Monitor function a LOTwhen setting up new planes, just to be sure.
Another thing I do is COPY a lot...then rename and tweak as needed, because doing that lets me keep the switch functions as I remember them. For example, Switch F is always my "SMOKE"switch, and switch G is my "KILL" throttle-down function. Works for me, as it keeps me from hitting wrong switches when I go from plane to plane.
