2. When a specific model is reset, the model name & model type will remain while the model data will be set back to factory default.
3. Warning at start-up (Check frequency, High Throttle, Abnormal Flight condition warning) can be applied to all models at the same time.
4. The B-Fly (Butterfly/Crow) function has been improved. The servo movement has been increased for more travel without the use of the adjust function setting.
5. Flap-Control function has been improved. “Flaps up” will correspond with the slider or switch in the up positions, “Flaps down” will correspond with the slider or switch in the down position. (Opposite to V1.07 or earlier.)
6. “Speed” of motor control on Servo monitor screen has been normalized when the RF is off.
7. By pressing the “Exit Icon” (door icon) for 2 sec., the screen will return to the home screen. This saves having to hit the icon multiple times to back out of a menu.

9. The EXPO has been modified to be more aggressive for more precise control when flying with high/3D control surface throws.
