GWS 4ch receiver hack/mod, add one more ch.
The credit of the following modification goes to Ben of [email protected]
In order to get an additional channel for the pitch control, the receiver ( GWS-R4P ) being used in my helicopter must first be modified. What needed to be done is just soldering a signal lead at pin11 of the IC located at the front side. Also, a positive and a negative lead are also needed.
After the modification, what I got is a very light-weight, low-price, 5-channel micro receiver. It is really worth to own one. I place the connector of the new channel next to that of the channel one's:

I found another site on the web that show how to add more channels to the GWS receiver. It can add up to 8 channels!!
