Default RE: Futaba 8 FG Programming Guide

The Futaba Video Classroom does hit on this in Programming 101. I've just completed Programming 102 and it goes into much more depth on limits and endpoints. 102 will be posted later today or tomorrow.

ok, if there isn't a full programming guide, is there a better explanation of the difference between limits, travel, and end points somewhere? Take a throttle servos for instance...I don't remember what i did, but in one case i set the top end of the throttle to be wide open on the carb, but the servo would hit that point about halfway through the travel. So i adjusted the end point, or so i thought, and the radio would no longer try to move past that point and bind, it would simply stop at that point. BUT, it would stop moving when the stick was at half throttle. Further movement on the stick toward the top would do nothing. What i wanted was the radio to spread the available range of motion over the entire stick movement. during that time of setting the end points, i was also messing with the travel and limits, so i'm not sure which of those actually made that situation possible. I would just love an explanation that is even slightly better than what's inn the book. Any one program one of these recently?
