 ====Important Note on Exponential Settings - Read before use====
 Aura FW1.2 had a bug that incorrectly calculated Exponential values and eliminated any Exponential feel on the control surfaces. If you are ''updating an Aura (FW1.2) already in use'' '''-or-''' ''re-using an existing Aura Config File (.acf)'', please check the Expo values and the control response before flying.
-*Review all Expo values in all Flight Modes with the Aura Config Tool. If any values are high (ex. greater than 25%) consider whether they should be reduced. (All Config Files and Setups as provided by Flex Innovations have been reviewed, and are flight tested on FW1.3 and are good)

 *Check control surface response to transmitter commands before flying after Configuration
-*Be aware that since most model programs have exponential set, you will have the feel of more exponential when using FW1.3 compared to FW1.2.
