RE: programming a 7 channel vs. an 8 channel
With an 8 channel receiver the easiest way is to use Aileron Diff for channels 1 and 7 and Ailevator for channels 2 and 8 with AIL 3 and AIL 4 set to 0%.
With a 7 channel receiver the easiest way I have found is to use Flaperon for channels 1 and 6 and then do Pmix from Elevator as Master to Aux 1 as Slave, with Trim on at +100% rates.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
