Your Radio's Junk Drawer Is Actually Useful

Let's be honest, the 'Special Functions' menu in EdgeTX looks like a digital junk drawer. It's the place you'd expect to find a single battery, a paperclip, and a feature you'll never use. Turns out, we were wrong. It’s less junk drawer and more a Swiss Army knife for people who’d rather be flying than navigating sub-menus.

Our latest guide, expertly guided by Painless360, unpacks the few functions that actually matter. Think of a proper throttle cut that doesn't require a prayer, mapping your volume to a knob so you can silence that incessant beeping mid-flight, or capturing a perfect trim on a maiden flight with a single flick of a switch. It's about adding convenience and safety, not just features for the sake of it.

These aren't life-altering hacks; they're small, sensible tweaks that turn a good radio into your radio. For the complete, no-nonsense breakdown of how to set these up without accidentally programming your quad to fly to the moon, check out the full guide. You might even come away feeling dangerously competent.
