John, Ging, If you get down off your pomey high horses I believe you'll see that Parrothead was indeed referring to a XYZ (or did he mean XYH?) transmitter which, as it happens, DOES have a switch on the transmitter for throttle reversal, as I (rightly!) suspected. As Ging pointed out, your previous comment implies that you didn't "Suspect" at all, did you! ;D Until Parrothead posted his reply you were very quiet. Were you untangling your panties from the big bunch they had clearly become up your butt cheeks? ;D John |

there's a switch on your transmitters that reverses the throttle? Nuff said!  ;D LOL ;D John |

I may only have a Hobbyking T6A radio and even that has throttle reversing, but it's accessible by the computer USB connection, not a switch on the transmitter. So if you want to adjust say your trim in the field, or say you realise your elevator is reversed do you take along your PC and a generator? I would have thought in the long run, what with all the additional fuel costs to run the genny, you would be better off investing in a fancy TX! ;D John |

Dill is the winner, Dill is the winner, cha cha, cha cha cha cha! LOL ;D Well said, indeed. Regarding adjusting your trim at the field, I do that at home, then go to the field. I like to spend my time at the field flying, not farting around with the plane. I believe the 'fancy Spektrums' also have the ability to adjust parameters such as channel reversal from the radio using it's LCD screen. I'm only slightly jealous of those that have enough spare cash to buy Spektrum, but I still think I'm getting better value for money with my Hobbyking T6A. Ging, I was just trying to stir you up, and it obviously worked ...and YES I DID suspect from the very start that there was a switch on the transmitter for throttle reversal. The way parrot's original post read it seemed like all he did was flip a switch on his transmitter and he ended up almost losing a finger. I asked the question because I had no idea if any transmitters had a throttle reversal switch, as it seems quite unnecessary to me. Surely there more useful functions for a switch than throttle reversal. Yes I know I have 'throttle reversal' on my radio, I'm pretty sure that with any computer programmable radio you can reverse any channel, but I consider this to be a computer programmable option, not a 'switch'. |

Ging, I was just trying to stir you up, and it obviously worked Hmm, theres a little more to these fancy radios that you seem to think. Theoretical scenario: Maidening a new bird. First flight reveals too little/much throw in the control surfaces. You've set rates for them at home, but it's either too much or not enough. Guess who needs to pack up and trot off home if they want to change the parameters and fly that bird again during the same site visit? As for being stirred, no not really nor shaken Mr Bond. If anything, the word "uninformed" in my first reply was there for that reason....I think I caught me a fishy... |

I would flip the dual rate switch or adjust which pin on the control horn the push rod connected to ;D |

"XYZ" is just my alias in a sort of protection for this company name. TX: 2.4Hz FHSS N4. You guys obviously know your stuff so you know that it can be easily had for a whooping $30.00usd or so. The poster-child for cheap TXs. Fly, I know what your thinking, but I just want to fly man!  Aircraft: RTF P-40 Warhawk. Can't wait for Saturday, ready to put this bad boy in the air! |

From earlier in the post Dill/Ging: Quote: -IN YOUR FACE! How does it feel boys, tell me. Do you like it like that? Come on, WHO'S YA DADDY!?!? I don't understand what you are on about with this statement, and don't see what relevance my father has to this. If you must know he's a 70 odd year old who had a triple bypass and replacement hips and still going strong.- lol. You guys consider hiring agents. People in Hollywood make a decent living out of this. |
