Re: What are CH switches on controller for?

Hi,
Have a Lanyu 4 CH radio controller and a TW-748 electric plane with
throttle, aileron, rudder and elevator. The controller has the
following switches:

CH1 Rolling,yawing

That's probably the aileron channel.

CH2 Pitching

Elevator.

CH3 Motor power

Throttle.

CH4 Yawing,rolling

Rudder.

CH5 FPR, DLT

For a second servo on the ailerons if you're using flaperons or
a delta wing configuration.

The really badly translated English user manual doesn't tell me if and
how the switches are to be used with this plane. Have tried a few
combinations, but can't see how the result could be useful.
Could anyone please elaborate me a little?

In mode 2, the left-hand stick controls throttle (up for full,
down for idle) and rudder (left for left, right for right).

The right-hand stick controls aileron (left & right) and
elevator (pushing the stick away from you is down elevator--pushing
thenose down; pulling the stick toward you is up elevator--pulling
the nose up).

Switches on the transmitter might be used for flaps, high-low rates
on one channel or another, or for flight modes.

Little tiny DIP switches are probably for reversing the direction
of the servos. Sometimes it's easier to set up a servo "backwards"
and correct the backwardness by reversing the direction in which
it moves rather than to get everything mechanically running in the
right direction.
