 ==== What is Stick Priority and how is it set? ====
-Stick priority is a technique used in the Rate Dampener control mode to reduce the Gyro Gain as the control Stick is moved away from center. The full 'Gain' value will be applied at stick center. If the stick priority is equal to the (Aura) dual rate value associated with the modes, the gain will be zero when the stick reaches the end of it's travel. If the stick priority value is higher than the dual rate value, you will have gain remaining at full stick deflection. If the stick priority value is lower, the gain will be zero at a place proportionately less then full stick travel.

 For most applications, simply match the stick priority value to the value of dual rate used in the associated flight mode. (If Dual Rate is 80, make Stick Priority 80)

 ==== Why is Aura called an Advanced Flight Control System instead of a Gyro? ====
-While Aura can operate as a high performance state of the art 3-axis rate gyro, it is can also be much more. It can configure multiple flight modes, while each flight mode can execute one or more distinct control modes. It can operate with Satellite/Remote Receivers and act as a 'hub' handling controls like throttle, retracts, and flaps without a conventional receiver present. It has the ability to be a 'XPlus Channel Expander' or a Futaba S.Bus hub for conventional servos. Its six axis sensor, powerful 32-bit processor, and firmware update capability allow it to have controls that are well beyond the scope of a 'Gyro'.

	Many modern recievers have there own failsafe and continue to put out valid servo (PWM) pulses in failsafe. Aura cannot distinguish these from valid commands. You are getting failsafe via the Rx reciever data, and Aura will 'mirror' this failsafe data. If the pulses are lost from the receiver, Aura will engage failsafe and display the blue light.

 The simplest, most straight forward way is to adjust the clevises mechanically with the needed trim offset, then center the Tx trims.
-The Quick Trim feature is also a fast and precise way to transfer the offsets to Aura so the transmitter trims/subtrims can be centered.
+When using 'digital/serial inputs', the Quick Trim feature is also a fast and precise way to transfer the offsets to Aura so the transmitter trims/subtrims can be centered. (not available with PWM (Servo Lead) Input Connections)
 To optimize the geometry (such as perpendicular servo arms at center or with difficult to access or adjust linkages) or to manually 'electrically' adjust your control surfaces, you can use the Aura Subtrim feature on the associated Servo Ports Tab of the Aura Config Tool to apply the needed offset, while centering the Tx trims.

-If you would like to make the aircraft 'looser' for advanced tumbling Acrobatics for example, make the Stick Priority value Lower compared to the corresponding Dual Rate. (example in "'''Stick Priority is 75% of Rate'''''Italic text''" below)

 If you would like to make the aircraft 'tighter/more stable' such as a flaps down takeoff/landing mode in a scale model, make the Stick Priority Value Higher compared to Dual Rate (ex. Rate=100, Stick Priority=150). You would not expect to 'snap roll' or 'tumble' with these settings, but you will have more stability, even when applying pilot inputs.
