I haven't been reading this thread but it seems to go on and on so I assume there is no solution. As I understand it he wants to turn on the glow plug below a certain throttle setting. isn't it a simple matter of setting up a dual rate on the plug channel with two fixed values and switch between them using the throttle stick as the switch?

> Just spent some time playing---short answer, it is possible, but you would need a lot of logical switches some of which are just based on proportional position and others that combine a proportional position with one of the other logical switches so you can tell if you got to the 20-80 range from the bottom or the top. I had to use 6 logical switches to make it work close to what you asked for but ran out of time to debug the last bit. I might need 8 logical switches total by the time I fix that bug. Jeti is VERY responsive to feature requests like this, so I'll put one in for it and I suspect it will be there within the year :-)
