Your first setup is invovled. Everything is new and you dont know what is what. Once you go through the motions a couple times its not all that hard, just like any other radio out there. Heck the TH9X with er9x is super involved. In actuality this radio does do a few things different as sated before there are no throttle or pitch curves, expo and dual rates as we know them are done on the Neo through the radio or on the software. Its not what your used to seeing for D/R and Expo.
