I currently have my Futaba in mode 1, and wish to change to Mode 2 Flying controls.
eg. do i have to get a technician to change the actual stick controls over?
I have finally foud someone here that flies Mode 2, and yes i do have to change involved over the return spring and ratchet leaf spring from one stick assembly to the other.They should be on different stick assemblies.
Mine is an older Mag style Digital Futaba, but not a computerised one.
Thanks for all the replies.
I am going to give it a try with this guys Mode 2 and a buddy box (thank goodness) so heres hoping I can find it easier as i was flying on the Joy stick on my PC before I joined the RC Fling briggade.
Once again thanks for everyones help.

It looks as if nobody is going to respond. So I will make a suggestion, then every expert will suddenly apear to say how wrong I am.
You will have to open up the transmitter case. I do not know what transmitter you have. On my older transmitters the change involved switching over the return spring and ratchet leaf spring from one stick assembly to the other.They should be on different stick assemblies.
