Having said that the trigger must be elevator if they are changing rates dependant on positive and negative. Like I said sounds complex, but it does work and contrary to what I initially thought dosnt affect the way the model flies the rest of the sequence.
I've seen condition mixes set up on the 10X, basically curves where the amount of movement of a surface affects the mix on another. Complicated to do, but it's possible.

I don't bother with that. I just fly my snaps with my thumbs. I really can't see the advantage of such a complicated setup for somethign as simple as a snap.

I used the snap button all the time. I programmed spoilerons into it. Makes great walls and slows the plane down fast after you land.

Also I hope those buttons are programmable......from what I saw, Aux 2 is where the flap switch used to be and the gear switch is where Aux 2 used to be.

Not hard at all just replace a few printed circuit boards you're keeping all the same switches, lcd, case, battery, etc.

The question is will they do it? I think we know the answer to that

Hey guys: There is another one lurking in the obscure shadows also. Nomadio, They are working on a two model line that they are very tight lipped about. Maybe you guys that are going to toledo will get to see the new radios!

Heya Crew,

I think this thread got burried in all the Toledo coverage, but this was one of the biggest announcements of the show -- Here are the official shots of the 12x in case you missed 'em.

Enjoy, MD
