Dan,
You obviously know your radios as I gave an old WE SS Tx. to a friend of mine and he used the stick assembly to change his Hitec two stick to single stick operation, including changing the throttle control to the conventional position on the right end side locaton. He says it works great! Looks like a viable conversion for those who desire a computer
SS Tx. but can't find a good Ace Micropro 8000.

I fly a Micropro SS Tx. and think one of the dumbest arrangements is the throttle trim above and parrallel to the throttle, itself.
Flying electric, I have confused myself by jumping on the trim lever by mistake thinking it was the full throttle!!! Just old age catching up!!!

When ever I get around to the next firmware upgrade to the MP8K I am thinking of allowing control assignments so you can logically move the position of the controls. As you know the MP8K alows the trim controls to be moved by simply moving the plug inside the xmitter, but that is a physical change and you are limited to the trims only.

Dan,
Thanks for that tip of changing the plug location inside the MP8K as I hadn't given that a thought to remedy the factory trim control position. I'll look at that situation and perhaps change the position to another more user friendly location.

I hope other SS fliers out there shrug off the "friendly abuse" I have experienced from other much younger fRC fliers who don't seem to comprehend the merits of SS transmitters. As I respond : Too bad you can't find one and/or afford one"!
