Wingo Radio Setup
I'm building my first plane to try to learn R/C flying. I have purchased a Wingo and have completed the construction of the plane. I am afraid I goofed on the purchase of a radio, however. The hobby shop person said I should go for a really good radio so I took his recommendation and bought a Hitec Eclipse 7 radio. When I read the instructions it is obviously way beyond my understanding. However, I think I understand that channel one of the receiver is for ailerons and is operated by the right stick moving right and left. Channel two is for elevator and is operated by moving the right stick up and down. Channel three is for the throttle and this is where the ESC is plugged and is operated by moving the left stick up and down. Channel four is for the rudder and is operated by moving the left stick right and left.

Wingo Radio Setup
You're close.
Channel two is for your PRIMARY TURNING function. Notice that your Wingo does not have ailerons. You would plug the rudder into channel two on the receiver. When you get a plane with ailerons, you would put the ailerons on channel two and the rudder on channel four.
Don't worry about not understanding all the programming functions. You don't need them on a simple plane like the Wingo. Simply understand how to use the trim sliders, and learn in "baby steps." When you get your second plane, learn how to switch model memories. When you get a flying wing, learn how to activate the elevon function.
