I have a query about a setup. I am setting up a Spirit2 but this time using a Futaba radio for the first time. I have setup everything as I believe it should be. Assigned channel 8 to rescue function in the unit and assigned a switch to this in the radio. I can see the rescue status changing on the channel status screen of the spirit program, however the swash / servos do not trigger. However with my Jeti unit I can test this function and the rescue triggers without having to fly first.

I have tried also setting up with an Idle up 3 as described here - http://manual.spirit-system.com/index.php?title=Futaba however this did not solve the problem.

Have you any ideas as to what I can try. I see the output screen says “configured (gyro gain)” for the rescue function. I have the rescue on a separate channel so is this where the error could be? How would I change this?

Turns out function stabi has to be selected for this to work and not rescue as you might expect. All working now.
