Old AT ones didn't have the PS_ON signal, Grey or Green wire. Newer ones and ATX require this li ... |

| Go into the THR-HOLD menu and change the INH to either OFF or ON depending on which position switch G is. Towards you is ON. You do not need to change anything else for an electric.

| H1 for Helicommand because it doesn't use CCPM mixing, that is done by the RC-module. In other words one servo for Aileron, one for Elevator and one for Pitch.
