1) Is it correct to say that STABILIZE mode still uses manual throttle, even if you have the blue shield with throttle control active?
2) How would I know if PITCH_TRIM and ROLL_TRIM are needed? My assumption is that in STABILIZE mode the plane would climb (or drop) and be in a steady-state turn left (or right) if these are needed.
3) The comments for these say "deg * 100". Does that mean that if I'm 10 degrees off I should use a value of 0.1 (since 0.1 * 100 = 10) or a value of 1000 (since 10 * 100 = 1000)? My assumption is 1000. If using the configuration tool, do I just put in straight degrees, or do I use a multiplier as above?
4) I'm not using an IMU. Is AOA used for anything in my case?
5) If I have SET_RADIO_LIMITS set to 0 (no), do I take values from the Radio Min Max Values debug test and pop them into CH1_MIN, CH1_MAX, etc.?
6) If I'm using CH1 for rudder, how should I set CH4_RUDDER? Or does it not matter if nothing is plugged in there?
7) A long time ago, there was the idea that people would post their config. files for various airframes. Does anyone have a really good one for a stock (except for motor) Easystar posted somewhere?
I know this is a lot of questions... I appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks,
Charles

2 - leave pitch_trim, roll_trim to 0
3 - Yes, 1 degree is 100, sorry C #defines make you do the math
4 - AOA is not enabled right now, don't worry about it
5 - yes
6 - If you don't have CH4 connected don't worry about it
7 - the current defaults will work for an easy star.
