normal hovering condition. Press Add at the bottom of the page. Now press Idle Up-1, press Null on the right side of Idle-Up

Add again. Using the same process,
add as many Idle Up's as you desire

listed in the correct order.
Example:
1) Normal
2) Idle Up-1
3) Idle Up-2
4) Throttle Hold
They can not be listed in any other order or they will not function properly.
Now go back to the Home Page. Make sure that all of your switches are in the off position. Under the picture of the helicopter,
you'll see the word Normal. Pull your Idle Up-1 switch (SE) and the word Normal should change to Idle Up-1. Do the same
for the other conditions you've just set.
