5.14.6 Graphics and Indicator Readouts
A variety of graphical and indicator readouts are available with

Indicators Setup” menu under the “OSD Setup” menu. Here is a
brief description of these:

The speed ladder shows the present ground speed of the
aircraft, on the left side of the screen.
If the optional pitot airspeed sensor is connected, you
can display airspeed (instead of ground speed) on the ladder by
changing the “Use Pitot Spd for RTH/Ladder” setting.
5.14.6.2 Altitude Ladder
The altitude ladder shows the present barometric altitude of the aircraft, on the right side of the screen.
5.14.6.3 RADAR
The RADAR readout is an intuitive feature which makes it easier to keep track of your model’s location relative
to home, and the direction your model is traveling relative to the direction the pilot is facing.
