Switches on the Controller
 

Hello folks. New to helis, so go easy on my newb question.

The helicopter I got came with a controller that has a toggle switch on each side above the sticks and a button on the right side next to the switch. I know that on some collective pitch helis you can use one switch to help in an emergency landing, but what the heck are these for on mine? Mine is a Falcon 40 (fixed pitch) and the switches don't seem to do anything.

Also, there is an 8 pin dip switch bank on the back. What's that for?

There's no mention of any of these in the documentation. Thanks!

I found a pic where you can see the switches and button.

RE: Switches on the Controller
 

the top toggle switches do nothing on the 4ch transmitter - 8 switches on rear are for the throttle/aleron/elavator/rudder -1/4 = 5to8 nothing
i do not know how they are set up on the falcon - my coaxl 1-rudder 2-aleron 3-elavator 4-throttle - if it flys right you should leave it alone or disaster could happen - :eek: = VIC
