Is there a way to activate a channel for a set period of time?
I have a motorised winch that i would like to run for 24 seconds after the switch is operated and then stop.

Re: Run a motor for a set time
Logical switches have a Duration setting that might be of help.
You'll want to set up another switch to cancel it if needed obviously.

I'll need to look for the posts, but Mike and I exchanged some setup ideas for that here on the general thread I think.

Thanks for the replies.
Basically I want to link the winch to SC:
SC(up): winch run for 24 seconds to pay out cable.
SC(mid): winch off - This will be the default position.
SC (down): winch run for 24 seconds to reel in cable.

Ok. That's not a plane motor 
You can set duration on a logical switch, so create two logical switches to check for position of SC up and down, and set duration of 24. Use those as switch on a mix with MAX as source, and 100 for up and -100 for down in weights.
It can be done based on the weight of the switch etc. But this is readable in the radio.
