I Agree the Futaba Manual as usual is extremely lacking. With the 8 and 9 U radios there were excellent after market guides that really explained the radio in simple english! I too believe that the 8FG's programing is far from intuitive and not well explained. Try to find something as simple as setting up the radio for 2 elevator servos, the manual leaves you hanging half way through the setup!

I wish Harry Higley or someone else would write a GOOD manual for this radio...I would buy one today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
