Honeybee 2 transmitter questions
Ok I went and did it. Everyone told me to start with a plane. But I love a challenge and am stumped. I bought my Honeybee 2 from RC-Experts and the instructions were horrible at best. I finally got the simulator loaded where it worked and have crashed many, many, many times since I installed it yesterday. My questions are as follows:
I have a Esky 6 channel transmitter.
1. What are the sliding knobs at the bottom of both joysticks?
2 . What are the sliding knobs at the right side of the left joystick and the sliding knob at the left side of the right joystick for?
3. Also what are the Servo Reverser slots at the bottom of the transmitter? They have
AIL ELE THR RUD Below them and Rev and nor on the side. It looks like they cannot be adjusted without sticking something in there to move them.
I know these questions may seem dumb but answers would really help me out without having to surf the message boards to find the answers.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Honeybee 2 transmitter questions
I figured it out and I'm on morphine =p. The sliding knobs coincide with the control parallel to it . . . just play with them and figure it out =). I guess they would be considered the 'trim' controls. Make sure the one by the throttle is down when you start up your heli.
Start up procedure:
1. Turn on transmitter
2. Make sure throttle is at zero along with the throttle trim (only have to worry about the throttle trim, the others you can leave where they are)
3. Plug in battery to heli.
4. Wait for red light to turn to solid green
And your done! =)
BTW, I've heard tips to adjust the swashplate until it's flat (use the trim controls)... I did, doesn't hurt.
Oh, and the servo reverse buttons are kind of self-explanitory, I reversed the rudder (which isn't actually a servo....) so when I hit the joystick left the tail swings left, before when I hit it left it swung right... but.. I reversed it...

If that's what you prefer, but normally when you move the rudder stick to the left, the nose should turn left (not tail).
