Default Jet /Flap set up on Futaba 14sg

Helpl!, So I have the Futaba 14sg in my possession and am trying to set up my Boomerang turbine jet. I normally fly JR but it is time for a change. Everything went OK setting the jet up in airplane mode, all surfaces move correctly landing gear and brakes work. My problem is I would like Flaps (4 servo wing -2 flaps/2 ailerons) to work on a three position switch, with neutral flap at top position, take off flap (25 degrees) at middle position and landing flap (85 degrees) at down switched position. I also want elevator compensation with both the mid and full flap positions, and would like to add a little cro , or butterfly, (ailerons up)when in the landing position. I am using a Fasst 14 channel receiver with fplas on ch 7 and 8. Why is this simple task so hard to perform with this radio. On JR radios this took 5 minutes, plus I had Flight conditions in airplane mode. Does anyone know an easy way to accomplish this feat. Will there be a software update so that we can have conditions in Airplane mode? My only other issue will be setting up the throttle channel and end points for the turbine throttle learn procedure, and dealing with a digital trim on the throttle for starting up /shutting down the engine. I read the throttle trim can be moved to another switch/ or lever. Any help is greatly appreciated.
