<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jon:<BR><BR>You are now seeing some of the
drawbacks of the 9V. My first suggestion is to purchase the new 9C.
This will solve 99% of the problems you are having. Otherwise, you need to
get the Futaba MSA-10 synchronizer. This will allow up to 4 servos to work
off a single channel (solves your dual elevator problem).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Troy,<BR>I'm looking
for several things. I use the 9V for pattern and other
planes.<BR><BR>1. I've tried using two channels for two elevator servos
on a 7 channel PPM receiver. I can succesfully mix to get two servos
working, but if it is on a channel normally controlled by a switch, the switch
still functions, or if it is controlled by a knob, the knob still
functions. Not good! Is there any way to do it so the knob/switch
is out of the equation?<BR><BR>2. Is there any way to reassign switch
functions to another switch?<BR><BR>3. Is there any way to get one rate
control switch to control another rate, say aileron and elevator together so I
only have to flip one switch for high rates?<BR><BR>4. The transmitter
has an "idle up" lever on the left hand side. There is nothing in the
instructions about how to use it other than a mention about using it in
conjuction with propellor pitch in the front of the manual. But
then there is nothing in the pitch mix instructions about how to use it.
Am I missing something? I guess I could try turning on pitch mix and see
what happens, but is there any way other than that to control what that lever
does? Or is it a vestage of this transmitter also having a helicopter
version and it has no practical value to me? And turning on pitch mix
would negate using channel 8 for any other purpose on an 8 or 9 channel
receiver.<BR><BR>5. I'd like to use a switch for an engine idle kill
function. Any way to do it other than simply using the idle
trim? Maybe the airbrake (throttle-pitch mix) switch?<BR><BR>6. I
think I've puzzled out the use of AFR vs. ATV. But I would like to know
how you used the two.<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>Jon Lowe<BR><BR>In a message dated

Does anyone know of any sort of frequently asked questions (FAQ) or<BR>>
programming guide for the Futaba 9V transmitter? I've got the
Futaba<BR>manual, but it<BR>> leaves a lot to be desired. I'm sure
someone has some tips and hints out<BR>there,<BR>> this being the
