Yes, very easy, straightforward, and covered in the manual. The manual includes a step-by-step programming guide for TD planes. > Will the throttle trim tab then effect both flaps? Throttle (spoiler) trim is recommended disabled for TD. There are two separate digital trim tabs for the wing servos. One adjusts both flaps up & down. The other adjusts both ailerons as flaperons (i.e. both up or both down). Oh, the normal aileron trim tab adjusts the aileron servos as you might expect. > Can I bypass flipping any switches? Not sure what you mean. If you mean, do you have to throw a switch to enable landing mode. No you do not. You have a choice to set up landing flaps with crow and elevator compensation, so it is active in all flight modes. You don't have to use flight modes, if you desire. > Is it simple to get rudder mixed in with ailerons? Yes.

Yes, predefined and straightforward. > What kind of running time are you getting on the standard > battery pack? Don't know, never ran mine down. 600 mah is standard, and manual says 200 mah current draw.

If you have owned the 8103, I expect you will find this one a big improvement. John Derstine wrote up an excellent overview of the radio. Good photos of the menus, which you might find helpful. http://www.scalesoaring.net/EMM/9303.htm Jon Stone RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
