I've done what research I can but am not getting very far. I've got a Futaba T7 set up with a six position rotary switch and resistors for flight modes and it works well (Futaba Channel 6). I've also got Position 1 (Stabilize) set up for simple with APM2 channel 7 and that works. Is there not some way I can configure Poition 1 to be Stabilize with Simple Mode without having to switch channel 7 on APM2 to high? It is simple enough to do but I'm running out of channels. I would like to have Mode 1 (Switch Position #1) be Stabilize with Simple Mode and Mode 2 (Switch Position #2) be just Stabilize. I need the other receiver channels. 5th for flight modes. 6th for turning on Hexa LED's via a third party interface. And 7 for tilting the camera gimbal for different camera angles as this progresses via my three way switch. I'm out of channels. I thought seven would surely be enough. I got such a good deal on the TX, it doesn't matter but I don't want to upgrade radios now. Thanks.

FYI,
please assign CH7 to do something else other than SIMPLE mode or you will override the checkboxes.

When you set up the flight modes in the mission planner just check the 'simple mode' box next to it. That makes simple mode permanent for that selection. On my quad I have all flight modes checked to 'simple'. No need for an external switch.
In you case switch position 1-'Stabilize' w/ 'simple' checked. Switch position 2'-Stabilize' /w 'simple' NOT checked.
