I am a newbie who has no flying experience, but I have raced RC sail boats. On my boat I have the rudder set for the left side.
I am wondering what is involved in switching rudder and elevator to the left on an RC airplane radio.

I am a newbie who has no flying experience, but I have raced RC sail boats. On my boat I have the rudder set for the left side. I am wondering what is involved in switching rudder and elevator to the left on an RC airplane radio. It very much depends on the radio. Some you have to purchease with a certain mode and changing that involves swapping connectors etc. within the radio, others can be reconfigured by software. You can even get a radio that allows for different modes on different model memories. There is another way of doing this and that is to simply plug the servos in the aircraft into the Rx ports that supports the stick movement that you want to use for that control. So for instance if you want the ele to be on up/down on the left stick, plug a servo into each port whilst wiggling the left stick up and down. Repeat until the servo responds to the stick movement, you've then found the output that you want for ele. This may restrict a lot of the higher functions within the radio though if these too cannot be migrated from one output on the Rx to another. The HZ transmitter with the SC is pretty much no good for any of this. |

Can anyone recommend some transmitters which would allow easy conversion to lefty?

In the USA on Mode 2 it is 'normal' for the rudder to be on the L stick for a plane with ailerons. BUT....yaw control (right/left tilt), which is essentially TURNING is on the R stick. This confuses a lot of newbies moving to ailerons on where to plug in those 2 channels. If you have JUST a rudder it is on R-stick in Mode 2. It moves to the L-stick and the aileron then goes on the R-stick when you get ailerons. Look at this: www.rc-airplane-world.com/rc-transmitter-modes.htmlBe aware that it may not be a good idea to do something radically different from the norm in your area. |
