6EX with 3 position dig?

[DesertCrawler]

I have searched through these forums and either no one is using a 6EX for their 3 pos. dig on a crawler or I just can't find the info. So I ask has anyone setup a 6EX for 3 pos. and how do you do it? I can find info for other radios just not the Futaba, any help would be great

I don't have a 6EX(I run 9C's) However I think I can help. From what I can see the 6ex does not support a 3 position SW... so your going to need to mix a bit. Set up your dig on your FLAP(AKA DIG) channel using what ever switch you need to so that it operates from 4WD LOCKED in to LOCKED UP REAR when you flip the switch... now you'll need to set say the Landing gear or retract channel and what ever switch you need to use and MIX it to FLAP... set this mix so when your imagineary landing gear deploys your flaps(DIG) goes to FREEWHEEL position.

You'll have to be careful with end points and use 2 switches but this should be doable.
