Default Futaba 8FG question.....?

I am going through all the different controls of my new 8FG and came across something I'm not sure of....

In the Model Menu, under "Servo" you can select OFF, MOVING and NEUTRAL.
I don't know what you would use the MOVING for???....it slowly and continuouslycycles the servo through it's movement.

it helps you spot a damaged gear train. I use it for testing control surface throw and breaking stiff hinges. I'd rather have servo speed adjust mind you...

I have an 8FG and am trying to set it up to buddy with.

I'm flying a Bobcatt and have a program which includes using the rudders as airbrakes.

I have copied the progamme to the SD card and then onto another 8FG TX to buddy with so each TX wpould ahve an identical programme , but although the progammes are the same when viewed in the menus the control surfaces do not work the same.

For example when passing over control to the buddy 8FG up elevator gives down movement !

I am using the special futaba lead reffred to in the manual, but should I use a normal lead when buddying between two 8FG's or is there a problem in matching the programmes

Any Ideas anyone

Gordon
