I can't figure this one out.. first off the facts...

I'm using a futaba 6exh transmitter, I'm trying to make an Axe CP fly. This is where everythign goes bad for me... I've got the same frequency in the Axe as on the transmitter. Now, we're using the stock reciever for the heli, I've got the motor unplugged and as soon as I get through the transmitter/reciever problem I'll go on. When I started the swap, I looked at the movement in servos and swash from the stock setup and wrote everything down. I set up the transmitter (a guess anyhow) and everything seems to work, here is the exception:

the right stick is supposed to control forward/aft cyclic and the left should control the speed (along with moving the swash down on the main shaft), my problem is these two sticks are reversed! Everything moves fine, as it should, except, the sticks are reveresed.

do I need to go with a futaba reciever? is it something in the transmitter programming? Am I losing my mind????

thanks guys!
