Got the radio and started on programming. It only took me about three hours to program all the mixing.

. I'm not that familiar with programming and mixes. But once I figured it out it started making sense and became relative easy. I have the radio set up with the fan on a switch, on and off whenever needed. The blade dump and tilt is on one switch so all I do is flip switch to go from dump to left/right tilt. Then the ripper up/down and tilt are on another switch to change from blade to ripper commands. All the hydraulic servos are on a mix with the pump. So the pump only activates once stick movement is input. Somewhere I read that saves battery and gives smooth movement to hydraulics. Sounds good to me

. And I do have the available switches for lights and sound when I get around to that.
So now it's time to start routing all the hydraulic lines.
