Hi Guy's,
   Can I pick some brains please? I use a Futaba 7cp with the diy Frsky mod.
I have had to dedicate the rudder channel to my panning servo but my Super Skysurfer really benefits from having a rudder/aileron mix for better turns.
Is there a tx controlled switch available that enables the rudder output from my tx to select between the panning or rudder servo as and when each is required?
Years ago I had a switch which plugged into your rx and enabled the selection of 6 different accessories (one at a time) so you could turn on lights, sound simulators , what ever really. I can't find anything similar out there now so hope someone can help!
Cheers and sorry for the rambling ;D

I like to use the rudder stick for panning, and agree that SkySurfer flies better with coordination.
I have the rudder servo plugged into channel 8, which I mix to channel 1 on a 2 position switch.
Works well on FF8 and FF9 so should be OK on your FF7 if you use channel 5,6 or 7 for rudder.

Thanks Chris, I'd not thought of that! I'll have a fiddle with that today.
Lovely day here on the Westcoast so got to get the kit out and make use of it--see you ;D
