I can answer 1 three and four...1. You must trim the aircraft for level flight. Even then, it will ocasionally need attention from you. If you really want to veg out you will need to use the autopilot.3. Messages appear onscreen when you enter slew mode and activate the brakes.4. The repeat slider is not for use with options like slew mode. It is more for when items like brakes or trim have been assigned to the joystick. That way for instance you get continuous braking when you hit the button. I recomend leaving the slew mode repeat slider all the way to the left (0).Best Regards, Donald T.:-wave

Thanks Donald, appreciate the fast reply. All noted. As for #3, I'm trying a spot of washing up liquid on the pads and that seems to be working well!-- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

Some people use velcro to keep the stick base in place.Gunner
