 ===== Flight Controls =====
+==== input_default ====
+The input_default is used for all non-discrete (floating point) inputs.
+Typically these are found for light dimmers, trim inputs, etc. which are typically operated with a joystick or with a cockpit dimmer or trim-wheel, etc. but button inputs are also possible with this generic input.
+The ''Speed'' is how fast the input responds when a button is pressed and held. With a speed of 0.1 it takes 10 seconds to reach the full deflection 1.0.
+''Positions'' is the number of steps that are available when a button is pressed to increment the value. A single press of the button increases the value of the input_default by ( Range.max - Range.min ) /  ( Positions - 1 ). In the example below that is 0.0025 increment per button press, so rather fine trim adjustments can be made.
