RE: Words of Wisdom please
If you can do all of that with a non-computer radio, with that airplane, then look out when you have dual rates, mixing and exponential in your repoirtore. You will be awesome dud. Just get some expert help showing you the ropes and mixes on the radio. I have two of these radios. The old version and the new Super version. They are so simple to program and set up it is unbelieveable. Just one good hint. Make sure you go into the auxiliary program switch assignments and null all the auxiliary channels, before you start mixing accross channels. The book doesn't cover that really well. Wish they had automatically nulled everything in the core basic programming, but some genius a Futaba decided to pre-assign each channel to a switch for some reason. Other than that, it is so easy compared to the old 6's and 8's they had.
Happy Landings.
