RE: Which way for switch?
my futaba is not adjustable... you push the switch away form you (or up) for high rates. I set all my mixes up this way. Towards me or the bottom of the radio for on (pull) and away from me (push) for off. I think its easier to flip the switches off by ficking them with the back of my finger than it is to find them and pull them towards me.
Don't quote me, but I think most h/l switches are down for low, up for high.
