Automated trick on a switch! This is a how-to on how to set up a lua script on your openTX radio to perform multiple tricks automatically at the flick of a switch. The purpose of this isn't to "cheat", but as a proof of concept to see if could actually be done and how well it would work. (It works REALLY well). I think that this idea could be extended to do all sorts of other things, so I'm hoping this will inspire people to learn lua scripting and write other applications.
