Radio controlled helicopter question
 

I am getting my first radio controlled helicopter for christmas - It is a JABO II 4 channel. Any helicopter pilots in!!!!

Just wondering how hard it is to change the control from mode 1 to mode 2 control (i.e. the throttle is on the wrong stick). Is it just a case of unsoldering/soldering a few wires from the different pots?

Cheers

Hiya,

I've got a helicopter Tx that I don't use - want to swap?

It's a Sanwa 6 (7?) channel, about 2 years old with 0 hours...

Used to be able to get r/c gear already on mode 2. Any good r/c model shop should do it for you....

i changed mine from 1 to 2 by myself mate, just undo the screws and swap the wires and springs over... easy!

Ive got a JABO II aswell! ncie little heli to learn on! altho you'll need to stick indoors for a fair while cos you need to be good to tackle wind as it isnt the most stable!!

you'll also need to purchase a rather extensive spares kit too!!

Cheers - Will be doing this as I dont want to confuse myself!!!

I have been practising on a free flight simulator which I downloaded off the net, however I really want to plug the control in and use this as controlling it with the keys is DIFFICULT (due to it being on or off if you know what I mean). Will def be practising indoors before venturing out into the wind.

What kind of spares do you constanly need then? It comes with a spare set of rotors.

why dont you plug the controller in then and practice with that !

you'll need all kinds of bits, rotor head, the links to them , rear tail motors, basically all the stuff that breaks every time you crash it... and you will crash it

a decent controller should be switchable between modes 1 and 2 ??

You'll need more than just rotors, trust me :lol1:
