Now go to the butterfly menu. The switch that controls it is the rear left switch, marked Thr Cut. Activate the mix. Change the settings as you see fit. Preset changes the point it comes in on the throttle stick. Move the stick to where you want it to come in, and press and hold Menu, until it beeps. That will set the preset. Be sure to exit the butterfly menu by pressing Menu and not exit in order to save the settings. Go to the display menu and watch what happens. The switch has to be pulled toward you to activate butterfly. Watch what happens in the Display menu as you move the throttle stick. Go back to the butterfly menu and change things as you see fit.

Thanks, Jon.
I got my butterfly factory preprogram finally working after following your advice.
I could not make it work previously for two reasons.
I used flaperon which did not work together with butterfly program as you said. When ailerron differential was used. butterfly worked.
Secondly, I failed to preset throttle stick position effectovely because I did not push menu button to save preset position. This is where this transmitter is different from other major brands.
I used ch. 3 and 5 for flap 1 and flap 2. Ch. 6 did not move full travel for unknown reason. Ch. 6 moved only 70% travel.
Now that butterfly program is working, I have no complaint whatsoever about this transmitter. A great value for the price. I am going to buy one more to replace all old mechanical trim TXs. I will not need to carry around handwritten trim memory card any more.
PS What we need is a well written English manual to realize full potential of this transmitter.
