Default RE: Dual throttle setup with JR 10X

Yes, the idea works basically the same for all radios. The Pmixes behave a little different. The biggest difference is the switching availability. Futaba is the best here. All switches available however you want. Just wish they would provide more Pmixes. Haven't had time to study their new 14 channel yet. Hopping they provided enough Pmixes to to do great things with all those channels? Pmixes get used up fast when building custom features. Airtronics Stylus is as good if you get the additional feature upgrade card. Multiplex is the worst. They offer a 12 channel radio. The channels can be assigned to any Tx input. This gives great basic setup flexibility. The problem is these assignments can't be switched on and off. No way to throw control from main throttle stick to an auxiliary throttle during flight for example. They do give programmable mixes that can switch controlled and used to do this. But basically all their switchable features are assigned to a "virtual" switch, then the virtual switch is assigned to an actual Tx switch. They only give 3 virtual switches! So only 3 different things can be on/off controlled during flight. I can't wait for the day when someone will offer a big fat number of channels and a computer interface to let me program it however I want without limitations.
