Has anyone been able to actuate an electric motor using a switch with the XP9303?

I'd like to know how.

The 9303 has motor on a switch in spades.  See the Note on page S12 of the manual.  "if dual flap is activated, the motor function is not assigned to any channel."  In the new Devic. SEL page (again see page S12 of the manual) the motor function can then be assigned to Ail D/R, Ele D/R, Rudd D/R, Aux 4 SW, R3P SW, L3P SW, the new butterfly push button, the timer switch or the spoiler stick. 

 

There is also a motor hold function (See page S29 of the manual).  This allows you to enable or disable the motor switch in any of the five flight modes.  As an example, the spoiler stick may work the motor in a launch mode with a little flap and some down elevator (If you don't have enough down thrust at the motor)  In all the rest of the modes, the spoiler stick is for flaps and the motor will not operate. 

 

I am intrigued by the possibility of putting the motor with a soft start on the butterfly push button.  Push to turn on, push to turn off.  With camber on the side slide, the spoiler stick is always on for flaps.
