Ep 212: Switches, Knobs & Chaos: How We Actually Set Up Our Radios

The guys are back together — sort of — and this week they dive into one of the most common listener questions: How should you assign switches on your radio? After some classic RC Plane Lab banter, the crew breaks down how they each map flaps, gear, lights, rates, gains, and AS3X functions across their transmitters. They compare Spektrum iX setups, explain why consistency matters more than “the right way,” and share lessons learned — including how Ron’s F-18 crash came down to one simple gain-tuning mistake.
