[NSRCA-discussion] Transmitter Programming Question

[Ronald Van Putte]

John is also right.  I sort of did what he said.  I used Aux6 as my output channel to the receiver controlled switch.  I selected throttle as the input to Aux6.  I then used a "point" curve in Aux6's AFR to adjust when the glow turned on and off (took some fiddling).  It seems to work very reliably.

Thanks for all the suggestions, except maybe Keith Hoard.  Now that he's a 757 captain instead of 1st officer, he no longer has to say things like, "Nice landing sir" and "I'll take the ugly one."
