Can this work as a buddy box system: a DX5e mode2 as master with a DX6i mode 1 as slave?
My plane is a Apprentice.
Ken is right, buddy boxing will work fine crossing modes. When Ken and I started buddy boxing I had mode 1 and he had mode 2 .
As a left hand only person I fly Mode 3 and use a TX tray. I use my elbow to control the right stick Throttle and Rudder.
Use your left hand to control elevator and ailerons, Depends on the Airplane mix Ailerons with Rudder. ( trainer )
Mixing will also give you steering on the ground. Have mixing on a switch some airplanes Don't like mixing in the air but mix for steering on the ground .
Dbell I sent you a PM give me a call.
Now I buddy box people with my mode 3 and they are on mode 2
I can send you info and pictures how to make a Tx tray
