Yeah.  Only the guilty need feel offended.

Question

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."

  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.

  OK.  I think I understand.  Pmix the throttle to the 
    channel the receiver controlled switch is plugged into and use the throttle 
    as the Pmix switch.  Yes?

          I am trying to turn on an onboard glow plug battery on an O.S. .61RF using a receiver controlled switch, so that the glow will be on when the throttle stick position is less than 15% or so and off above that.  I am drawing a blank on how to accomplish it.

I've used the throttle stick as a switch before to get dual rate rudder, but this is different.

I have a Futaba 12 FG transmitter and will be using a Futaba R617 receiver.

Are there any useful suggestions out there?
