I have read about a solution on this forum, to the issue below but I find the coding quite daunting. I believe there must be an easier solution and was hoping someone has figured it out.
Setup:
APM.a all dip switches down.
Hitec Eclipse7
standard acro setup with all defaults (everything inhibitted and no differential or mixing) except I had to reverse all servos.
Hitec 6 channel receiver.
channel 1 = ailerons (both)
channel 2 = elevator
channel 3 = throttle
channel 4 = rudder
channel 5 = to channel 8 on APM
radio test on APM shows channels 1-4 with good rangeson either side of 1500.
modes shows position0 and position5 active.
position0 = manual. perfect all controls are fine.
position5 = stabilize. see the story below.***
GPS blue light, 7 sats.

Originally I was using an old radio config for a 3D plane but had dipswitch4 up for elevon-mixing (thats how the APM came). The stabilize was actually working albeit with mixing.
I changed the dipswitch and a few other things (dupe) including a brand new radio config. After these changes, I now how have this situation:
For a short time, gear switch forward gave me half throttle with no radio control of anything or any servo movement for stab.
Now I don't even get half throttle; Gear forward position in essence takes away radio control and does nothing..
I have not touched APM software or pids, just used setup menu in APM and messed with Hitec radio programming.
Please post a simple solution for just two modes. Six would be great but two would get me out in the field.
