+If you have not already, follow the instructions to [http://wiki.flexinnovations.com/wiki/Aura/AuraConfigToolInstall Download and Install] the Aura Config Tool PC application.
 Using the Aura Config Tool PC application, you can easily setup up a new Aura Config File for virtually any aircraft. It is suitable for ALL transmitter types, all receiver connections, and all aircraft model types.  It can easily setup simple models, but is also flexible to allow a lot of advanced features if desired.<br />
 The Application is designed to be largely self explanatory as it '''includes built-in help and explanations that 'pop up' when hovering the mouse cursor over items'''. You can build your initial configuration with or without an Aura connected.

 In the Aura Config Tool drop down menu, use the ''Quick Actions -> Quick Check'' method that exaggerates/holds the sensor commanded control movements.  This feature can make the Sensor/Aircraft movement test easier to perform. To exit the Quick Check mode before flying, the Aura must be restarted/re-powered.
-: NOTE: If the Pre-defined Transmitter Input Direction is default/correct, and the Aura Orientation is correct, and the Servo Direction is set so the model passes the Transmitter Command test, the model is EXPECTED to pass the Sensor Test. If it does not, check the items mentioned here, and refer to the [[Aura/Troubleshooting|Trouble Shooting Guide]] or [mailto:aurasupport@flexinnovations.com?subject=Aura%20Product%20Support Aura Support].

 : When using Transmitters NOT pre-defined in the Aura config tool, it may be necessary to do some of the following (use the ''Aura Input Monitor'' with ''Live Data'' to assist you): Define a Custom Transmitter and/or reverse some channels in the transmitter so the virtual sticks move correctly and/or sub-trim some channels in the transmitter to achieve 0% (at center) on the ''Aura Input Monitor'' and/or adjust the travel in the transmitter to achieve 125% for Aileron/Elevator/Rudder input travel (100% for others) in the ''Aura Input Monitor''.

-: IMPORTANT: It is always recommended to have a '''GYRO OFF''' mode available for first/early flights to assure that all is well. Take off and climb to a safe altitude should be done in the GYRO OFF mode. Test the other modes carefully, and return the switch to GYRO OFF if any trouble is encountered, then land and make adjustments as needed.
