I have been on the cusp of buying an 8fg for some time. This is a great feature. I am a futaba user.

I do not see how this can be consitered extra channels. It is something else. You do not have 14 seperate channels that each have a destinct lever, switch or knob. In this case you are slaving a channel to multiple servos? For instance using two servos, one for each elevator half. That is not two channels, to me. Don't get me wrong, It is a valuable feature but not really an extra channel. Please tell me if I am not understanding what is actually happening here.
