Thanks very much, Graham, for those instructions! I thought I had done all that when I tried to setup Airmode the other day and the ZMR was beginning to misbehave. I just tried it again, step by step, with your instructions. One of the differences between what I did and what's in your instructions is the addition of the 20 points to the min throttle. I know that I didn't recalibrate the esc's but the recalibration was in your instructions, so I did that. I took the ZMR outside, and with Airmode set up on my Gear switch and on Acro Mode, and I did some hovering, punchouts, and such with and without the Gear switch flipped. It's definitely working properly because with the Gear switch off, the quad behaves just as it did at the FPV Event. With the Gear switch on (Airmode), I definitely have control of the quad...even at min throttle. Awesome!

Keep on teaching me, guys! I'm trying to soak it all in!!!
