Re: an extra switch and i hv no idea what it does

Might be a 'training switch' does it return to its original position when you pull it and let go? if so then its a training switch....its designed so an instructor keeps it pulled...so the student (using another radio...plugged into the instructor radio) can have control....if the student gets into trouble the instructor lets go the switch and has control again....when the student has calmed down

the Instructor holds the switch over again!

TRG...training

TRN = training -----> it sounds right because before i crashed i tried to pull it but it nothing changed (as far as i noticed)... unfortunately i was the one in trouble but the good thing it only cost me 40USD to buy the parts i've damaged


thanx alot for your response


ps: that was my first attempt to fly my helicopter and ended faster than i expected
but i'm still happy that i managed to let it swing around for 40 seconds before starting trimming the trees
