Default Flight conditions Futaba 12FG

Trying to get the E-Motion ready for it's first flights
I would like to set some flight conditions
Condition 1 Normal controls and throws
Condition 2 Decreased rudder same aileron and elevator as condition 1
Condition 3 Decreased rudder increased aileron and elevator as condition 1

Now i changed the transmitter to switch to condition 1,2 and 3
using one of the three position switches.
So when i change the switch it does go condition 1,2 and 3
I saved my normal flight controls and also put them on condition 2 and 3

But my problem is everytime i change the control endpoints. then flip the switch it affects all three conditions.
Obviously i am doing it wrong, Just not sure what i am doing wrong.

You need to change the AFR for each control from Group (GRP) to Single (SGL) in each of your conditions. In the function screen you should also change the trims to SEP for those that you want to be able to adjust individually in a condition. I keep aileron and rudder grouped and make elevator SEP on the trims.

Adjust the throw, expo and such in teh AFR screen of the MODEL menu. Leave the ATV in the Linkage menu the same. AFR adjusts the throws in each condition.

you can accomplish the same thing just using the dual rates....

Position 1: High Rate Rudder, Low rate Elev & Ail
Position 2: Low Rate Rudder, Low rate Elev & Ail
Position 3: Low rate Rudder, High Rate Elev & Ail

Though there is less overall flexibility using the rates verses using the conditions...
