The Servo Speed (S.SPEED) feature allows you to fine tune the maximum servo movement for every
channel. This capability is very useful when dealing with models that require small control movements or
in cases where binding/damage could occur from excessive control movement.

Servo Speed

1. From the model menu, scroll to highlight “S.SPEED” and press
the jog dial once to enter the servo speed menu.

2. Scroll to the channel to be adjusted and press the jog dial to
activate the menu.

3. Rotate the jog dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to alter the
speed of the servo. The selected value is the transit time of the
servo in seconds (0-25.0).
4. Once you have achieved the desired servo speed, press the
jog dial to confirm your change.
5. Press the back button to return to the model menu.

The Flash 7 provides three user-programmable mixes which can be used for a wide variety of custom functions
that are not available with the built-in mixes and options. A common use for these mixes is to correct unwanted
behavior of an aircraft. This could be automatically applying a bit of rudder with throttle to counteract torque/P-
factor effects, or applying elevator during knife-edge flight to correct an undesired tucking tendency. Maybe you
just want the head on your model’s pilot figure to turn when you taxi out to the runway. Programmable mixes can
make it happen.
Virtual Channels & P-Mixes: A ‘virtual’ channel is essentially a channel created outside of the normal channels that
are sent to the receiver. In addition to the 7 actual channels you can use two virtual channels for mixing purposes.
These channels exist only in the transmitter and do not use any of the receiver slots. Virtual channels can be
assigned to any transmitter control in the channel setup menu as described on page 37 (VC1 & VC2). Through
the Programmable Mix feature you can mix this virtual channel with any other channel to accomplish a variety of
mixing functions in your model.
