RE: adding 2 servoes for elevator and radio
Connect the 2nd elevator servo to channel 5, then activate and follow the AILVATOR function from page #45 of the manual. Yes, you can reverse any channel (servo). Hope this helps, Doug.

RE: Futaba 617 Radio
Cool, very good radio. You can use the channel order that I gave you, like that you don't have to use Y connectors for the elevators or the ailerons and you can even use the ailerons as flaps as well if you need to. For the opto kill you can assigned any switch to channel 7. Regards, Doug.

RE: Futaba 617 Radio
If using the 7C 2.4 I will go like this: Ailerons 1 and 6 (Flaperons) go to page 42 of the manual Elevators 2 and 5 (Ailevator) go to page 45 of the manual Throttle 3 Rudder 4 Opto Kill 7 Then use a Y to connect the batt to any of the channels. Hope it helps, Doug.

RE: New Futaba 8FGA & 8FGH 2.4Ghz Air Radios
Hi Zero, Yes I own a 12FG and I can say that it is easy to setup. When I got the radio the first thing I did was spend 3 hours with a few servos on the bench. Let me tell you, those were the best 3 hours spent because I learned a lot about the radio. No, the 10C is not capable of been updated at home, but you can with the 8FG. My opinion is that the 8FG is way more advanced than the 10C. I like the 8FG manual, looks better than that of the 12FG. Regards, Doug.

RE: GeeWizz is the Futaba S3305 a dud?
Hi Mike: That's a nice bird. FWIW, in regards to the 3305's, I don't use them on my airplanes but I bought (used) a 120 falcon jet that came with 4 3305's. I used that model for about 3 months and I sold it because I didn't like the way it flew. I didn't have any issues with those servos. I also use those servos heavily on boats for the rudder and so far so good. Regards, Doug.
