no, -- I was thinking the same thing. The programmer won't alleviate the Y harness problem, though -- I have a Futaba 6EXA radio -- no split elevator mix and if you try to use the programmable mix it will work, but the elevator trim will only affect the servo plugged into channel 2 -- not the other channel. Apparently you have to go all the way up to a 9 channel to get that feature with futaba -- anyway, I still have loads of work to do on it and I might be able to get these things changed in israel, which is only a few miles away so it might be a fast turnaround
