The channel assigments given by Gary are essentially correct.  JR channel
assignments are different than Futaba (there is no "standard").  I would
suggest that he use ch1 or ch8 for his tow release.  If ch1 is used the
servo will follow every movement of the throttle/spoilers stick.  Once
released it doesn't make any difference what the release servo does.  The
other option, ch8, will make the release servo move with the crow/landing
switch.  Once again after release the release servo can move even though
you are using the switch for another function... but it just won't make any
difference.
