Does anybody know how to convert a mode 1 transmitter to mode 2? A friend just bought the helicopter from eBay and it came with mode 1 transmitter instead of mode 2.

Thanks in advance...

This is what I ended up doing on my JR X-2610...

Once you have the back off there should be a bar (metal or plastic) with a small spring holding it down on the right or left of the gimble that sits on the right (when facing the open back of the Tx). When you move the stick up and down you will see the bar move upwards with the spring holding it down. To remove it I first used a pair of tweezers to grab the small spring and detach it from the bar and then slide it off the pin that sticks out down lower. Once this is off the bar should slide off the pivot pin on the other end of the bar. You should then have the bar and the spring ready to be placed on the other gimble.

The left side gimble (looking from the back) will have a plate with a groove in it that holds the up/down throttle in position. Unscrew this plate top and bottom. In my case there was a hex shaped extender that needs to come off as well.

Screw the plate onto the other gimble (right one). On the left gimble slide the centering bar onto the pin and attach the spring with the tweezers firstly onto the pin that sticks out below the bar and then onto the bar itself. The left gimble should now center vertically and the right gimble will stay where you left it. This should now give you throttle on the left and elevator/pitch on the right (facing the front of the Tx).

If you have a smart Tx it should even have the option to set the throttle to the left stick and/or set it to mode 2 functions.

If not then you will need to ensure that the pitch and throttle connectors on the Rx are reversed for the servo and ESC. Test the channels with a free servo to see what maps to what on the Rx.

Let us know what the brand and make of Tx is and then someone could take a photo of the bits I've described if they have the same Tx. I could take snaps of my TX but it may not be the same type of centering bar I described.

The transmitter looks similar to this,

I'll see what he can do and will let you know.

Thanks...

dud URL you have there.

"****" = "ebay.com", try it again, it works.

I still have question regarding the conversion of mode 1 to mode 2. After removing a piece of metal from the left gimbal to the right gimbal and etc, do I need to do the wire alteration?

thanks

hope you're not talking about wire alteration in the Tx??

You may need to swap the servo/ESC connections on the Rx. Play with the connections on the Rx to see which one is mapped to the throttle and then the pitch/ele.

Also, whatever "****" was in your URL the forum software has replaced it with asterix and buggered up your URL. Rude word in the URL??
