I must have read the manual, and the APM_Config.h file a hundred times trying to understand this myself before posting here. But I am confused on what is the best way to setup the FLight modes on the ArduPilot Mega.There are 2 ways I see of doing it :A. Using the Interactive CLI (Setup>Modes). I used this to setup the 3-position switch on my Futaba 10C Tx, without worrying about PWM values.B. APM_config.h_reference says that I need to adjust the value of Ch5 to 1165, 1425, and 1815 to get 1, 3 and 5 modes.Not sure why i should be bothering to tweak the values of Ch5 when I can use the Interactive CLI to set up the modes based on whatever values the switch is set up to ?

Ok Thx. Is there any difference ? Or is it just that the config.h has the older way of setting the modes and the newer interactive CLI makes it immaterial as to what the actual CH5's PWM are ?
OR, is the CLI setup a way to set the modes via software and the PWM a better way as thats the "hardware" way, and more failsafe ?

Just trying to clear my understanding here.
Thx again.
