Thanks for the response! Glad to know I wasn't missing something :)

OK, so in the simulator it's not much of a real issue, but still, from the standpoint of "simulating" the real thing, why does neither the E-Flite Apprentice nor the Hobbyzone Aerostar have a working Switch H? I'm using an Interlink controller. At first I thought it was channel mapping, the...
