BobH, I am mixing ch2 and ch7 . It actually works but when I try to trim ch2, ch7 doesn't move.
I have done this mix before and was able to trim ch2 along with ch7 or ch8 or ch5 ?

RE: Tracker II AM I LOSING IT ?
If the "Tracker II" you are referring to in the title of you thread is a Polk's
Tracker II transmitter then that is the problem. The initial software version
of the Tracker II DID NOT allow trim to follow to the Slave servo(s).
Polk's modified that with what was, I believe, the last software update to the
radio which was done just prior to the release of the Tracker III.
I flew a Tracker II for a year and was aware of the problem.
Polk's used to (and may still) update the software (firmware) at no cost
except one way shipping to them.
Deadeye:
According to Futaba their new 2.4GHz 7-CAP was mofified to allow dual elevator servos with trim on both. AFAIK, the change was only
made to the 2.4GHz model.

Good to know about the new 7 CAP. They apparently read the disdain expressed here about the first one lacking that.

Can't help you on the version number, sorry. Replaced the Tracker II with a Royal Evo 9 then replaced that with a Futaba 12Z which is my current radio. You could send
an e-mail to Polks and they would let you know. John was always very good getting answers back to users.
Deadeye:
Yes, I am sure Futaba got an earful on that one. It would seem to be such a basic option to put into a new computer radio since dual elevators are quite common now.
