Greetings,

I originally posted this in the Hitech Forum, but I received no response. So I am trying my luck here.

I have an Optic 6 Radio with the Spectra RF module (FM). I have installed a smoke system and would like to control the flow using the LEFT LEVER (Channel 6). This actually works without any programming, but I want to be able to turn it on and off using SW-4 on the top right of the radio. I tried using the PMX 2 to solve my problem, but it didn't quite work out correctly. I assigned the Throttle as Master, and the Left Lever as Slave. I then assigned Switch 4 to activate the mix. Well, now I can still adjust the flow with the Lever, but now when I flip switch 4, the flow comes on at full force.

I want to be able to set the lever to where I am getting a good plume of smoke and simply activate it on and off during flight by flipping a switch. It sounds easy enough, but it has definately got me stumped.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

So maybe after you get things in the ballpark with the knob on a test flight, then reset the servo end point after that flight so that it is limited to near there. Then when you throw the switch it should go to the desired point?
