Is there a way to activate the count down timer automatically when I hit my retract switch?

I remember this on my Futaba and I really miss it.

Thanks again

Sorry, you can't do that with the 10X. However, I find it very easy and with a turbine actually better to use the manual start on the TX. With a turbine, I start the timer when the start/taxi tank is disconnected. That way if for some reason I get delayed from taking off, I have a more accurate time on the run. Remember, turbines are still swallowing a large amount of fuel even at idle.
