Default Radio capable of vpp?

I'm thinking about buying a Nikitis Animal and was wondering if my radio is capable of flying a plane with the Vpp prop setup. I have a Futaba 6exa.

If so how would I program the fligth mode 1 - 2 stuff...

Thanks

Does it have a 3 position switch anywhere? That would do it. You should be able to do it with that radio.

You can do it with a 3 pos switch... I set mine up like a heli with a pitch curve and a throttle curve... which your radio can do... just set the plane up in heli mode and use the pitch and throttle curves for the vpp

You can set up the pitch servo through the flaps channel if you only going to fly normal but it will not do the VPP as you fly. The reason is that you can only set a pitch for the prop before flight or during and set it there. But it will not move at the same time back and forward as you move the throttle. Dose your radio ( Futaba 6exa ) have heli mode?

That's up to you. If you really want to have a VPP on your plane then you need a computer radio with a heli choice. The radio can be the one that they recommend or any other that fit you budget.
