How do you folks usually set up the mode switch on your transmitter?
I have a 3 position switch - is there a sensible starting point?

If you wait a few days a new firmware 3.02 will come out with experimental autotune code. I tested it on a Bixler and it works well. It's very important to follow all the prerequisite steps listed in the tuning guide. Namely CG, trimming, and being certain that FBW moves the control surfaces the correct way.
@iskess, I'm suspecting that you meant to post a different link?
Criro posted the right links.
Brilliant - just the job. ty.
What is confusing me is how to make a 6 position switch from a 3 and a 2!
Thanks iskess.
If they all work well, then you can add RTL later. Do not attempt the auto modes until FBWA works well.
Read the tuning guide.
Thank you iskess, this is a big help towards the first flight.

The pace of development is so fast around here (yay!) that I am finding it hard to figure out what is up to date and relevant. It's a nice problem to have :-)
I would take a look to link below for roll and pitch.
If you install ArduPlane (APM:Plane) 3.0.2 you have the AutoTuning new feature, link below

Copter or Plane?
What modes do you want to use?
What RC do you have?
Hmmm, can't see an edit facility, ah well.
I'm trying to prepare for a first flight. It's an EasyStar with added ailerons, PixHawk 3.0.1
I'm guessing get airborne in 'Manual' then switch to 'Loiter' to see if the PixHawk works and have 'RTL' just in case?
