When you are in the FMS Controller calibration screen, make sure that you have assigned the correct channel numbers to the Rudder, Elevator, Aileron and Throttle. You can do this by moving the sticks for each function in turn, and entering the number of the channel that moved into the appropriate channel box. When you have done this, you can test the direction of each channel by flying a model. If any channel is reversed, check the "Inv" box for that function in the Calibrator.
Once you have the correct channels assigned with the correct directions, you may find that checking the "Exp" box for Elevator, Aileron and Rudder will make the models easier to control. Don't check it for Throttle because it will compress the action of the throttle at each end of the throw, making it difficult to adjust on low throttle settings during landing. If your controller has dual rates on Elevator and Ailerons, you may find that switching to low-rate makes the more lively planes a little more manageable.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
