Thanks for clearing it up Matt, I totally misinterpreted the delay obviously... Makes sense now, although in a perfect world with mixing and timed offsets it sure would be nice to make your own custom door sequencer.

Thinking through the endpoint adjustment again, I see how the center point adjustment isn't a big deal, but sub trimming a center point is frequently a really nice digital solution to a mechanical problem... That's what I was looking for.

What still keeps me suspicious here is that its common practice to manufacture a single product, dressing it up slightly different and software-crippling it to create multiple entries into a market. (like a Ram-1000 or 750+ for example) I'm not referring specifically to the R/C industry, but by that logic one would expect that Futaba won't have a huge amount of effort being poured into making the 12FG operate with the same functionality of their higher profit margin alternatives. There's no way you could expect the 14MZ to survive at its current price point with one or 2 minor software differences and a colour LCD panel... I'm surprised how close they seem to operate as it is! That's what leads me to believe the MPDX-1 won't likely be added to the 12FG's spec for quite a while. Maybe as the G3 products mature and the loss of 12Z/14MZ sales will be minimized, then maybe they would activate the feature to please customers and make sure they buy another Futaba... I'm obviously just guessing here though.

Its too bad the mixing is unavailable on the MPDX-1. I've worked on a few jets where it would have been nice to have a small satellite plug-in for the nose steering, retracts, brakes, pneumatic air brake, opening canopy, pilot turning his head and whatever else you can think of with all those outputs...
