Default Tamjets smoke pump settings

Hello,

I have installed on my FB Rafale, a TJ smoke pump and 1 TJ sprayer. I have test run turbine and tried the smoke and this thing is pumping smoke fluid like hell....
I have several issues i want to try to sort out:
I am using a Futaba 9 Z radio, and hooked smoke on a three position switch (have tried the slider but did not feel confortable with it). Anyway this is what to do and wonder if and how i can do the settings:
a) reduce maximum pump output to 80% (third position of switch)
b) have the possibility to have 40 to 50% rate when i hit second position of switch.
c) ajust position of single sprayer order having smoke exiting from both exhausts.
d) found out that when smoke switch is in off position, fluid keeps on dripping from tube into engine bay.
e) mix throttle to smoke chanel to activate smoke at a set point on the curve for both positions.

- First should i change smoke chanel to linear (same as throtle)?
- Can i use ATV and D/R to reduce pump output? or it doesn't work this way?
- should i have ATV set to -100% for off position?

Thanks for your feedback and explanation.

Best regards.
