Bax,

Thanks for the concise explanation for setting up triple rates. After serveral hours of frustration using the manual and the website, I found and was able to use your explanation on this site to make mine work (by the way, the triple rate question answer on the Futaba 2.4gig site really only covers dual rates you might want to add your explanation to make that answer more relevant to the question). However, your answer suggests that each rate position of the rate selection switch will have a different internal switch setting. In my case, I am using the elevator triple rate as switch SA positions 1&2 have an internal switch setting of off-on-off while position 3, the one furthest from the sticks and closest to the antenna, has a setting of on-off-off. Using different internal switch settings for 1&2 just causes switch SA to skip position 2. My question is: have I developed a recipe for disaster or should I leave well enough alone and use what I have.

Question 2 The manual says that I need to have digital servos plugged into channels 1-6 to get the R6008 receiver to operate in the high speed mode. Does that mean that only those channels operate in high speed? In my case, with a twin aileron, twin elevator setup, elevator 2 ends up on channel 7. Do I need to move it to channel 5 (gear) to get it to operate at the same speed as channel 2, elevator 1? Since I am using an analog servo on the throttle, I assume that I need to move the throttle output to channel 7 or 8 to get the increased receiver frame rate (or switch to a digital servo on channel 3).

Finally, how do I get the output for the switched channels, DG1 and DG2, out of the receiver?

Futaba is to be congratulated on the excellent power saving features built into the new circuit design. I am up to nearly 4 hours of operation on the initial transmitter battery charge and the battery voltage is only down to 7.4v.

Thanks,

Bob
