I have a futaba 7C HP and I am trying to adjust the end points on my servo travel. When I open the end points menu I find that channels 1-4 default to left travel and channels 5-7 default to right travel. Then when I rotate the dial, the corresponding value changes. That's fine. But how do I switch to the other travel direction. I want to set the amount of travel in both directions. If I try to cursor over, it just switches to the next channel. The example in the manual covers setting flap throw, setting travel at low to 5% and at high to 85%. I can change the amount of throw in one travel direction, but not the other. Is there something I already set that prevents changing this? I am set up as HR3 with swash 50 in all directions. I have used some subtrim to zero-center the servos. All mixes are off, but hover PIT is on. Throttle and pitch curves are the normal curves set when the model was selected. I know pg 31 of the Futaba manual explains end point adjustment, but I'm missing something if I can't set both directions of travel.

1 thur 4 channels are controlled by the two sticks. And the collective channel is controlled by the throttle collective stick.
On channel 1 -4, just push the corresponding stick to each side for the other value of the ATV.
For example on the rudder channel ( CH 4). When you pull up the ATV screen, it is probably showing just the value for say left side, push the rudder stick to the right and it will show the value for that side and you can change it. OR vice versa.
Same on the other channels controlled by the sticks.
As for the channels controlled by switches 5-7. You just flip the switch the opposite direction that is controlling that channel and that will give you the other side of the ATV value.
Channel 6 ( collective), that ATV will be controlled by the throttle stick when in heli mode.

Thanks. The Futaba manual didn't say this explicity and I missed it.

Page 32 of the manual. In the example box for setting ATV.
Choose proper channel and set
direction
The above means to set the direction you want to adjust the ATV ( End Point)
• Can set each direction independently.
Adjust the throttle high end to avoid binding at the carburetor, and low end to allow for proper carburetor closure.
On that page there is several mentions of the independent adjustment for each direction.
