That is basically all the setup required for speed/manual controlled flaps. If you find that
your flaps are moving backwards from what you expect, change the
reversing parameter for your flap channel, for example
:ref:`SERVO5_REVERSED<SERVO5_REVERSED>`. Set it to 1 to reverse the flaps, set to 0 for normal
operation.

In addition, you can independently have flap positions for automatic takeoffs and/:or landings using:
