Question for the JR/Horizon folks...


Would it be possible to replace the three way switch on the top left of the 12X with a push button switch?

It would be a great location for the smoke button!!!! Just like the trusty ole 10X.

Thanks

They really ought to make a custom transmitter for you Doug. One where the button is on the back housing just under your index finger. That way you wont ever hardly have to lift a finger to spew the smoke oil!

Yeah buddy!!!

Doug,

Yes, it is possible. I spoke to JR and they confirmed. Obviously it will void your warranty, but that's it.

Tony Stillman has the switches and can do the conversion. My transmitter is being shipped to him next week

Yes you can do it, call tower hobbies and get a 14MZ

What good is that 14mz if you never fly anything!!!![X(][X(][X(]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the only thing is when they swap them out the nomenclature on the switches remains the same. i fly with a 10X heli version and i had the Aux4 and Aux5 pots replaced with a 2 and 3 position switch. i had horizon do it and it didn't have any effect on my warranty.

Is the "MOD" something Horizon will do??

yes.

they just asked me to include a note explaining exactly what i wanted.

They told me that they could not do the modification. Doug, give them a call first.

D*mm it Dougie-retrain the finger-EVOLVE boy EVOLVE. Scotty

Slider is ok but I miss the ole trusty smoke thrower button!!!!

EEEEHHEEEEZZZZYYYY!!!!

Were you been homie??

LMAROTF...IT is not what you fly, it is WHO you fly with[&:]

I am in Guatimala now[X(], watching the elephants and lions drinking beer in peace[8D][8D], wish the human race would learn from them[&o]

Trimmer switch anyone, anyone

Dats it!

dunno why they'd tell you they can't, they told me they could, then i shipped it in, got a call the day after they received it asking if i wanted long or short levers on the switches (i didn't mention that). the guy explained that any programming i currently had mixed with Aux4 or Aux5 needed to be checked very closely and a few days later i had it back with 2 switches. Aux4 a 2 position for tail hook and Aux5 a 3 position for turbine control.

Looks like there is an addendum out, but i don't know how to get this upgrade on to the radio....Looks like you can use the flap trim switches as momentary buttons now...
