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.

Excellent, very useful. You can record longer video and put at Vimeo.com.

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 :)

YouTube should handle longer video and HD without trouble.
