Is Mode1 TX OK for AFPD?
 

Hello,
Most of us use Mode1 Transmitter(Left stick for elevator
and right stick for throttle) in Japan.
Is mode1 TX usable for AFPD by just connecting to the
USB interface comes with?
I'm interested in AFPD if I can use my mode1 TX (JR or
Futaba).
Thank you.

Hi Tsutomu,

yes it is ok.
Actually it doesn't matter: You can assign each single channel mode to the AFPD functions, additionally reverse and add expo to them. Also you can save your preferred assignment.

Hint for AFPD-users:
Sometimes some friends visit me to fly with AFPD.
Therefore I saved the 4 different modes for both my Transmitter FC18 and the gamecommander.

Since throttle stick has to be available on both sides, 2 modes have to turn the tx for 180 degrees and reverse the functions. Now it's extremely easy to hand it to somebody else flying any mode: Just select the mode and rotate the tx.

Karl-Heinz,

I understand all and thanks for the additional hints.
Yes, it is OK since AFPD doesn't use it's own controller,
unlike Real Flight G3. AFPD is Very flexible, isn't it.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I have ordered it from OMP site.
