In the CP2 Modifications section, Brinkand came up with a question about tiny switches hidden away inside the battery compartment of his Esky 0406 transmitter. I didn't see any on mine, but my (recent production) 0406A had them. Now, I can't leave such things alone - which is why I will never work in a nuclear power plant. After playing with them for a while, here's what I think they do. Please post corrections and/or confirmations if you find these switches on your transmitters. I think they may be a recent addition.
A - aileron & rudder. Up = AIL left, RUD right. Down = AIL right, RUD left.
B - pitch & elevator. Up = PIT right, ELE left. Down = PIT left, ELE right.
Mode 1 is A down, B up.
Mode 2 is both switches down.
Notice that I have no idea how mode 1 actually works, that's just what the Esky manual says the controls should be.
1 & 2 are trickier - they appear to control CCPM mixing, so would need to be tested on multiple helicopter models to make sure. It looks like they work this way:
1 - pitch mixing. On = FP mode (90 deg swash), Off = pitch mixing enabled.
2 - mixing mode. On = Belt style mixing, Off = CP2 style mixing.
Old news? Do your switches work the same? What are yours set to, and what helicopter model did the transmitter come with?
