You don't need to use the 8103 with the camber and landing mode switched on the stick. You can program the stick so it's always landing mode. Use a switch for launch and for reflex and camber presets.
Using a slider for changing camber is definitely over rated. A fixed camber and reflex setting works just fine. I don't think there are that many pilots out there that could optimally select between 1.5 degrees camber and 2.5 degrees camber in flight. The camber yes or no is enough to worry about. Of course, even MPX "beer tray" pilots have been known to leave the launch switch set during speed runs. It's hard to get rid of all the switches. Nothing replaces practice.
