how to set up radio gear
I am trying to figure out how to hook up my flight gear. I have a cobra w 4 hs-55's, a 555 rec. and the Potensky motor,speed control. I have to plug the motor plug into the 5th chan/batt slot. Then how do I mix it to the throtle? it is on/off swithched to the gear toggle? Do I have to y-harness my ail. servos? I do not have the intruction book for my radio anymore,so that doesnt help either. ( FUT 6 chan.) Is the premix the answer? I have to use one of the two mixes for the ail. now.
Thanks, Chas

RE: how to set up radio gear
Have you read the instructions? I am not familiar with the plane you are flying.
If you are flying a Hitec radio, then ailerons are in channel 1, elevator 2, throttel in 3, rudder in 4 and battery in 5. if you have a Hitec Flash 5X or higher computer radio, you can use 5 to split the ailerons.
Don't know if that helps.

Chas:
If your trans. is Futaba 6 channel, the speed controller plugs into #3. Fut setup is, 1 ail. 2 elevator, 3 throttle, 4 rudder. Throttle servo direction needs to be reversed on Fut. to operate throttle in the proper direction. Do all testing without the prop on for safety purposes. Guess how I found out. Easiest is to use a Y harness. Otherwise, if you want to use flaperons, plug right servo into channel 1, left servo into channel 6. Go into the programing and " enable " flaperons. Hope this helps.
PS you may be able to download the manual from the Futaba website for your radio.

I am going to switch over from large scale to small electrics. Lots to learn in this brave new (little) world.
