Setting up for front landing gear (Ground Steering) for fixed wing plane.

At this time, i have issue on setting up the nose landing gear so that it can automatically follow compass direction upon take off. Currently, i have connected the nose landing gear cable to the main out pin (4) as yaw / rudder. But when flight mode change to other than manual, the landing gear is not holding its current direction.

Therefore after a few readout from the web and from this youtube video from youtube, credit to the owner, i got some ideas that the nose landing gear servo should be connected to aux pin similar as gimbal pan, tilit, and video switcher connection, 

I will do this on this tuesday and i hope it goes well. InsyaALLAH...amin.

1) set servo12_function = 26 : set the Aux4/RC/Servo12 to Ground Steering (26).

2) set RCPassthru4(26) : set the rudder stick to control ground steering.
