Wiring
Wire the servos and motors as shown. Use the MAIN outputs (not the ones labeled with AUX). The motor controller needs to have an in-built BEC, as the autopilot is not powering the servo rail.

|---|---|
RC IN | PPM or S.BUS / S.BUS2 input |
MAIN 1 | Left Aileron |
MAIN 2 | Right Aileron |
MAIN 3 | Empty |
