Hello out there heli fans. I am brand new to RC and trying to get going with Heli-x sim and my new futaba t8fg.
I need to assign idleup1 to a switch or stick so the sim and engine will start.
can anyone help me with exactly how to do that?
I am soooo green here!!

If I had the money for a new Futaba T8FG radio, I would read the manual
cover to cover several times. What an awesome piece of hardware...

Here is the manual:

This radio has several idle-up modes. Time to break out your reading glasses

Looks like the manual gives switch SE (top left bank) as an example, but it also
appears you can assign them as you see fit.

Dang, $600...
