RE: Helicopter TX
your tx manual should have a section showing you how to change the rachet on the left stick and change the tension on the right stick (and for rudder on left stick).
You open up the back of the tx and look for the small screws that are attached to the springs which control tension, just tighten or loosen the screw until you get the desired tension. I suppose you could remove the spring entirely but then the sticks would just wobble around
