Thanks for the info guys.

What I forgot to mention is that I was planning to use an emcotec v cable for the elevators

in order to get an extra free channel for smoke. However it would be nice to hear what futaba has to say about this. However, if a V-cable is going to create problems of its own I might as well forget about smoke

Furthermore I don't know if there are any differences between
the receivers sold in the US and the ones sold in Europe. I bought mine from inwoodmodels.co.uk

Thanks
