Default RE: Who's Flying the PZ Vapor?

Hey guys. For anyone running the Vapor, and wishing they had that extra channel or two, you can now have it.
The PZ Vapor RX is 5 channel will run a rudder servo and a 5th channel servo. All that is required is soldering the
servo wires to the right places. Solder the positive and negative servo wires to the lipo wires (main power), and
then the signal wire to the solder pad shown in the pic. It takes about 2 or 3 minutes if you're good with an iron,
and thats it. I havent tried the 5th channel, but I know the 4th channel rudder works.

dont mind the giant servo, it was just the closest one on hand...a Toki .8g servo or Falcon would be ideal.

Thanks goes to dmitrygr for this awesome find.

edit: And now we have a soon to be airframe that is perfect for this mod!

edit again: It seems there are two differant software versions for the Vapor RXs, ones with AutoBind, and ones
without AutoBind. May only be the non-AutoBind versions that will work for this mod. If anyone trys this mod,
please do post your results, thanks!
