Has anyone else got the problem of the steering trim jumping one way or another if it's not pretty much in the dead centre when you start to adjust it? Mine does that and it can be a pain! Epic radio otherwise. Wouldn't mind being able to adjust the steering dual rate quickly without moving end points though and i can't find a way to do that currently.

There is two mode : mode 1 and mode 2 but i don't know what's the difference between the two. In fact, i want to limit the speed as you can in a car. For example, in my car, you have the speed limiter for not exceed the speed limitation and you have the 'block' system. I just wanna limit to 20% of the speed, for example.

Can you really only connect a single pair of LEDs to the X10FG? That's a bit small, to say the least, isn't it? That's not even enough for the front light and rear light 🧐 I don't want additional switches. I also need all the other slots/channels. Couldn't I connect a total of 8 LEDs with 3 Y-cables (4x at the front (white) and 4x at the back (red) and then switch them on and off? That would be enough for me. Or is one slot on the receiver overloaded? Unfortunately I don't know anything about electricity, that's why I'm asking...
