[NSRCA-discussion] Transmitter Programming Question

[John Gayer]

Don't use a mix.
You need to determine first what the necessary channel output value is 
to turn the glow on.
Then set up your plug channel and use throttle stick(J3?) as its input.
In AFR, use a "POINT" curve to trigger the output value you need at 15% 
throttle to turn glow on, you have 9+ points available and I believe you 
can move their x-coordinate as well.
Then, for an ON/OFF switch use a dual rate on the plug channel and the 
panel switch of your choice. You should then be able to set up a second 
"POINT" curve when the dual rate is active that has all values set to 
something that will turn and keep the glow off.

I don't have a 12FG here to test this but it should work fine.
