Flight Controls

[JukeBoxGuy]

I was toying with the idea of buying an E-sky Belt CP so I was checking out the manual online. The description of the flight controls has me a bit confused.

On my E-flite helis, the left stick controls the throttle and the rudder, but according to E-sky's manual, for mode 2, the left stick is throttle and aileron. Is this correct? And if I didn't want to re-learn how to fly, could I just switch the rudder and aileron connections to the Rx?

Hi there,

As far as I know throttle / aileron on the left stick is mode 1 (unless somebody else knows different ).
Provided the heli has a proper rx ,it should be simple enough to swap the aileron and rudder channels.

Hope this helps... Azzy

I did some research into Transmitter Modes, so for anyone's future reference, here is what I found:

Mode 1 --
Left Stick: Elevator/Rudder
Right Stick: Throttle/Ailerons

Mode 2 --
Left Stick: Throttle/Rudder
Right Stick: Elevator/Ailerons

I just got a beltcp and the manual instructions are set up for their country. Operating control instructions are in mode 2 but the belt comes setup in mode 1. Good luck

My Belt came with instructions for both mode 1 and mode 2. The heli was set up properly for mode 2 (left throttle), but the manual incorrectly described the controls.

Your transmitter should support both modes, dependant on the setting of a switch inside it.
Once you've switched modes, it's a simple matter of swapping the throttle ratchet on one stick with the return spring on the other so that they stick or return as appropriate...
