Yes, by the stock buttons.
2)Are the additional channels 2 or 3 position?
There are values between -100 to 100 (1ms-2ms servo signal length).
When You assign one button to control it, it will change between -100 and 100. If You use digital trim to control it, arbitrary value between -100 and 100 can be set by clicking those buttons. And there are much more settable possibilities.
3) can a pontentiometer be added to any of the channels?
One additional potentiometer can be connected instead of CH3 button, but there is no code in sources to handle this yet (but it is possible to do it).
4) how many models can be controlled? I have seen 14 and 40 mentioned?
5) the website mention a trade off of channels vs number of models- so what are the trade off specs?ie 8 channels have 10 model memory? 6 channels has 14 model memory?
Some early versions have 40 model memories. Then I added more functions and now there are 17/14/12 model memories for 3/6/8 channel firmware.
6) will the radio come with additional programming instructions or is there a PDF link for instructions on the website?
