Twin BPIs for bow plane doors and retract?

If the doors are on a separate channel, I'd say that would work, but it would be simpler if you put the retracts and doors on the same channel, though it might be more problematic to time (IE: doors open and THEN the planes extend).
But back to your original query, I haven't seen it done yet, but I think it should work!

I have a Futaba 12FG 36Mhz. (Australia).
I need to see if I can trigger two operations from one channel as per Bob's recommendation.Comment

I recently saw a write up on the programming needed on a modern radio to do this same sequence for an RC airplane, open door, extend landing gear, retract gear, close door. The sequence was pretty obvious but the timing and servo travel speed were key.

The Futaba manual was a struggle but I finally got this working. A mix with both channels on the same switch, with a delay on for one function and a delay off for the other.
Thanks, Colin.Comment

Do you know what the BPI issues were? I'm getting a strange behaviour when I move the planes in one direction. The BPI flashes, the ESC's (I think) start chiming, the planes won't move, and then it resets.Comment
