I'm trying to mix the smoke pump (channel 8) to the throttle and have the pump come on at 50% throttle and be linear (or curved at this point) to 100% throttle.
I'd also like to be able to disable the pump with switch "B" in the up position.
Please... I've tried this several ways with varing success (bad). Step by step directions are needed at this point.
Thanks

Hi Dave,
First I would create a Pmix from Throttle to Aux2, Link off, Trim on, the switch will of course the STK-THR, set your throttle stick at 50%. Your low rate should be 0% and the high rate should be 100%.
Then your next mix will be from Aux2 to Aux2, link off, switch B, position Down. with no rates set on the second screen.
In your Aux Channel menu you will want to make channel 8 activated by switch B.
If I understand you correctly, this should be the mix that you are looking for. If not, please let me know.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
Sincerely,

Krysta, I'm trying but it's not happening. Here's what I've been able to do...
Page 1 [prog mix 1]
<on>
<thro-aux 2>
rate +100% (down arrow) (up arrow) 0
offset 50%
Page 2
mix - on
mas - thro
slv - aux 2
link - off
trim - on
sw - stk-thr
posi - (up arrow) 51%
The aux2 to aux2 just threw my brain into park. What's that mean?
With the set up listed above I've got the switch turning the smoke pump ability on and off. The problem is the pump starts running at throttle idle when its turned on and there's no increase in pump speed as the throttle is increased to 100%.
My goal is to have the smoke pump start at 75% of it's ability when the throttle is at 50% and the smoke pump be at 100% of its ability when the throttle is at 75% or higher.
