 *In the transmitter, set the CH6 travel to +-50%. You can increase this once confirmed there is no servo binding/stalling.
-*Set the flap switch to the middle position, confirm in your transmitters monitor screen the (CH6) data is centered (0%) and there is no subtrim, etc at this time. Move the flap switch and confirm the data is moving with the switch. Return to center.

 *Check the Aura Servo Port and remove any Subtrim at this time.
 *Plug in the Left Wing/Flap Servo. The servo should be alive and the flap near mid-flaps. You can move the switch briefly away from center to confirm the flaps move, and also use transmitter (CH6) reversing as needed to have the flaps move in desired direction away from center. Return the switch to center.

 '''Note:''' some transmitters such as Spektrum have a LAND system. You can used this (in addition to other Tx Servo Settings) to drive the Flap data (it will give additional inputs to influence travel and direction)

 **If the servo arm is far off, the user typically needs to remove and reset the arm to the 'nearest spline'
 **If the servo arm is a little off, the best practice is to use '''AURA subtrim in the correct servo port (S7 for F-100D)''' to adjust the arm to perpendicular.
