Some considerations that could help you:
1) Your transmitter make defines which channel controls which function: e.g: throttle is 1, elevator is 2, a.s.o. This channel attribution is fixed with a transmitter.
2) The 'mode' of your transmitter defines which stick has which function: e.g throttle at left is mode 2 or 3. There are 4 modes, as the rudder can also be left or right. The mode can be selected on many transmitters. If you do a search on 'transmitter AND mode', you will find drawings.
In FMS, you select the channel that represents a function, the top 4 are for planes, the top bottom are for heli's. Just copy twice the 4 values.
In addition you can 'revert' a channel, if it goes the wrong way.
Select a simple plane to do the setup.
I recommend to start with the throttle (usually that the stick that does not come back with a spring). Look at which bar moves in the calibration menu, and set the channel number. Revert if the motor idle is not at the bottom.
Then continue with the rudder (direction) and do some taxiing with reduced throttle.
Third, the elevator, to take off with enough throttle, and pulling the elevator stick.
Last; the ailerons to roll left or right when in the sky.
Last but not least, 'exp' (exponential) can reduced the sensitivity of a channel near the neutral point.
