Status: offline 		Hi all.

I was thinking of replacing my badly beaten mini dragonfly airframe with a honey bee ccpm airframe, because it's about the same price, and can supposedly do more acrobatics (I'm looking to use it for indoor flight). Anyway, the equipment I'm using for the dragonfly at the moment is a "blue arrow" 5 channel feather rx and a GWS PHA01 dual-esc/mixer/gyro. Technically 5 channels should be enough (the pha01 doesn't use remote gain) but the Eclipse 7 Tx I'm using uses channels 1,2 and 6 for the CCPM channels. Does anyone know if it's possible to use a programmable mix, or something, to make it mirror channel 6 onto channel 5?

I guess a 6 channel Rx is cheap enough, but it's frustrating because the 5 channel is technically enough for the job.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.
