-::The new stick priority method as of early 2020. Aura automatically takes the dual rate into account and applies the stick priority based on the stick position. If you have 10% stick priority set, the gyro will be off for that axis at 10% stick movement, regardless of the dual rate value. Note: This is only able to be calculated properly by Aura if using Aura Dual Rates. If using Transmitter Dual Rates, the simplest setup is to use Heritage.

If you have 10% stick priority set, the gyro will be off for that axis at 10% stick movement, regardless of the dual rate value. This is assuming you are using Aura Dual Rates. We only recommend customers use transmitter dual rates if they are an Advanced Aura user and have a great understanding of Aura.

 Allows you to make a minor adjustment to the servo center position. This is typically used to achieve proper linkage geometry.

 :;Stick Priority Type
 :With Aura firmware V1.13 (or newer), we've simplified how Stick Priority is implemented. In the past, the stick priority has been relative to the dual rate. In other words, if you set your dual rate to 50%, your stick priority also had to be set to 50% to have zero gain at full stick deflection. If you set your dual rate to 50%, but left your stick priority at 100%, your gyro was actually at 50% of your set gain value at full stick deflection. For the new type of stick priority, the Aura automatically takes the dual rate value into account, and applies the stick priority based on the stick position. In example, if you want the gyro off at full stick, use 100% stick priority. If you want the gain off at 10% stick movement, use 10% stick priority.

 ===Stick Priority===
 Stick Priority is how the gain is linearly reduced as the Pilot's command (typically, the transmitter stick) moves away from center. If the command is greater than the Stick Priority setting, the gain is decayed to 0. '''See the [[Aura/FAQ#What_is_Stick_Priority_and_how_is_it_set.3F|Stick Priority FAQ]] for more information on Stick Priority.'''

-;Live Scaled Gain
+:;Live Scaled Gain
 :Live Scaled Gain is a calculated value that shows the actual Rate P-Gain that is applied based on the calculations of different variables like current transmitter inputs, Master Gain settings and individual axis Gain Scaling settings. This is particularly useful when using Master Gain on the initial flights of a new aircraft or new Aura install. You can simply use the Master Gain on a knob or slider to find the optimum Rate P-Gain in flight, then land and copy the values shown in this field to the Rate P-Gain field. From there, you can disable master gain to avoid accidentally changing the gain in the future.
-;Master Gain
+:;Master Gain
 :A way to proportionally adjust or scale the gain up or down via a transmitter channel.
-;Rate P-Gain
+:;Rate P-Gain
 :The most commonly used gain in Aura. Rate P-Gain is the amount of change to a servo (or output) for the aircraft's rotation rate (deg/sec). If the Rate P-Gain is very low, the gyro will have little effect on the servo or output. If the gain is too high, the gyro can cause oscillations at higher airspeeds or in windy conditions. It is recommended to start with low gain values and slowly scale them up using then Master Gain Scaling feature.
