Hi Fezz,

The set-up you would like to use on a 4-channel would properly be called Mode 4, or reverse Mode 2.

I fly Mode 1 which is set-up with the aileron and throttle on the right stick and the elevator and rudder on the left stick.

Mode 2 has the aileron and elevator on the right stick and the rudder and throttle on the left stick.

I don't know how buddy boxes are set-up. I believe I saw one situation where crossed modes were used and it worked out OK.

Now if you have a computer radio, it will be able to translate from one mode to another. Learned this when a friend flying mode 2 put his plane up. He was on the same channel as one of my mode 1 transmitters. We just couldn't resist trying. On the count of 3 he turned his transmitter off and I turned mine on. Other than a bit of trimming, the plane flew right on without a hitch. This is what I mean when I say that the receiver/transmitter system will translate from one mode to another.

Be interested to hear what you decide to do on the transmitter set-up.

Take care and let us know how you make out on this.
