i figured out how to setup the 8FG gyro like the 7C ON 1 SWITCH . now i can make it either in HH or setup RATE like i am use to . what you need to do is erase all the idle ups and just leave normal in the settings . you also need to erase everything that is preset on the switches or on in the memory in the radio you are using . this is not the same as resetting the radio when you add a new model , for some reason everything is on and needs to be turned off .
then you need to reassign everything you want the switches to do . this is how i ended up setting mine , i don't know if there is a easier way

Telebee gyro tend to creep. It is clearly said in the manual. I have a hard time setting this gyro. I sold mine already.
Replace your gyro. HK GA-250 doesn't cost much and it does a good job.

Can you explain in detail how exactly you do? I just got this radio yesterday and everything looks confusing. I use 7C too.

Telebee gyro actually work very good what you have to do is set subtrim to stop the creep. Yea I have that Ga-250 might mate it with hyperion tail servo to use on my hawk pro just for heck of it. LOL

Thanks in the video it says MLT2 for sbus receivers. Maybe both work.

Im sure all you probably know this but i thought i would chime in if your lookin for the best deal on the rc market and by best deal i am talking about absolute quality and a tiring list of features go for the 8fg super! The super t8fgs has 14 channels a R6208sb high speed high voltage 8 channel receiver in the package i purchased mine on sale from heliproz for 350 on sale! I work like a dream!

Governor set-up frustration and solution... with Futaba T8FGS
I was flying my heli now few weeks with questionnable throttle hold solution.

I opted to have separate switch for turning governor on and off. Problem was that I could not find a way to operate hold on any other flight mode than NORM with Governor off.
I tried so many different setups, including CONDITIONS menu variables, but could not get the TH to work.
Now I ditched my intentions to use separate switch and sticked with throttle stick switching Governor on and off. Now it works liike charm.
