so, following my post here: http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/futaba-t7c-channel-5-mode-switch
and the tutorial here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/configure-6-flight-modes-for
things didnt really didnt seem to fit when trying to set up my radio for six flight modes. after a couple of days blundering through mixes and comments from other users i finally started to understand what the different settings were doing, and found that half of what i had done was unnecessary.
once i had a clear idea of what changed with each option it was a case of a few minutes getting everything just right. as promised, a video.

Pure gold! Thank you for communicating this so clearly.
Comment by Rana on May 10, 2012 at 6:38pm Excellent, very useful. You can record longer video and put at Vimeo.com.
Comment by James on May 11, 2012 at 11:46am thanks for the positive comments.
there just seems to be a great deal of confusion over setting this up (and the little quirks of the futaba interface definitely adds to that), so when i finally worked out how simple it really was i thought i should share that. i know there are a lot of us using this radio, as its reasonably priced with a decent feature set for arducopter.
i actually like vimeo a lot, i dont know why when it came to making this account i went straight to youtube without even thinking. ill make a vimeo account for HD stuff :)
Comment by John Wiseman on May 11, 2012 at 11:48am YouTube should handle longer video and HD without trouble.
