Hi David.

Thanks for the manual, which I have, but am very disappointed in. Thus my question here.

Sorry thou you was asking where the switches were located.
As for switch assigments
Idle up flight conditions- Swtich is top left corner ( Sw E). IT is a 3 position switch. All the way towards the back of the radio is Normal flight condition. Middle position is Idle 1, all the way towards the front of the radio is Idle 2 flight condition.

Throttle Hold switch is top right corner, Switch in the front. Switch G

Switch/Knob Airplane (ACRO) Helicopter (HELI)
A or H Tx.
SWITCH A elevator dual rate elevator dual rate
Switch B rudder dual rate rudder dual rate
up = ELE-FLPon
down = AIRBRAKEon
SWITCH D aileron dual rate aileron dual rate
Switch E OR G* landing gear/ch 5 throttle hold
Switch F OR H* snap roll/trainer trainer
SWITCH G OR E* idle-up 1 and 2,
ch5/OFFSET/GYRO
KNOB VR flap/ch 6 HOVERING PIT
(flap trim if FLAPERONon)
* On the 7CA (mode 2) transmitters, the Top Left Switches are spring-loaded switch and 2-position switch. On the 7CA (mode 1) and 7CH
transmitters, the Top Left Switch is a 3-position with the spring loaded switch on the top right.
NOTE: If you need to remove or replace the transmitter battery, do not pull on its wires to remove it. Instead,
gently pull on the connector's plastic housing where it plugs into the transmitter.
SWITCH ASSIGNMENT TABLE
• The factory default functions activated by the switches and knobs for a Mode 2 transmitter are shown below.
• Most 7C functions may be reassigned to non-default positions quickly and easily.
• Basic control assignments of channels 5 & 7 are quickly adjustable in PARA (see p. 28). For example, the channel 5
servo, which defaults to SWITCH E for retract use, can easily be unassigned (NULL) to allow for easy use as a second
rudder servo in a mix, or to a dial for bomb door or other control.
• Note that most functions need to be activated in the programming to operate.
• Mode 1 transmitter functions are similar but reverse certain switch commands. Always check that you have the desired
switch assignment for each function during set up.

The idle up and throttle hold conditions are defaulted to the position I mentioned above. I do not think they are assignable to another switch. A couple of the switches on the front can be assigned to other functions. But they are also limited.

Which is Throttle Cut? Is it used on helis?

[DavidH]

Throttle cut is used to cut the engine off when your ready to cut it after a flight.
If you notice the radio has digital trims. So no reason to run the throttle trim down just to kill the engine. If throttle cut is active and set up. Just flip the throttle cut switch and it will close the carb completely and the engine will quit.
