[NSRCA-discussion] Transmitter Programming Question

[Ronald Van Putte]

I'll try that.  Thanks.

I have tried using the gear channel and I can turn on the glow using the gear switch, but I want to use the throttle as a switch, because the glow is only needed in low throttle conditions and I want the glow to turn on only then.
