Default Discussion - Futaba 8UHFS channel swapping

Is it possible to to use the Channel 7 switch on the transmitter to control a servo plugged into the channel 5 or channel 6 slot in receiver?

I looked in the manual and found nothing that talked about this issue.

P.S. I'm brainstorming a model submarine design and I want to control the bow planes with channel 5 or 6 (channels 1-4 will control throttle, stern planes, rudder, and ballast).

I need a switch/servo that has 3 positions: dive, neutral, and rise. The switch for channel 7 on the 8UHFS seems to be a perfect fit for this.

If channel swapping is not possible, does anyone know of any micro receivers that are on surface frequencies and have 7 or more channels? For example, there's a Berg receiver that's small enough for my application (and has 7 channels), but it's on an aircraft frequency.
