[djArticle]

i've switch mode 1 to mode 2 in 20secs!! by play it upside down and tick reverse in the flight software and there i have it!!

Cheers M8 worked fine on my JTL-0904a from mode 2 to mode 1 thanks again

why dont you just order the mode two like i did

[KaldekBoch]

@dua0001 Because there was nobody selling Mode 2 in Australia, that's why!

[dua0001]

@KaldekBoch i live in melbourne and i got the mode 2

order it on ebay 27 dollars incudes devery

[KaldekBoch]

@dua0001 OK, I understand you can buy them *now* but back in 2009 there weren't any Mode 2 units for sale in Australia.

And anyway what's wrong with telling folks how to mod one to Mode 2? I mean, what if somebody had a Mode 1 unit and decided they wanted to convert to Mode 2! Cut a man some slack, eh!

I have a copterx/dynam 6ch default in mode 1. I did similar stuff to yours, except I didn't unscrew the whole thing. All I did was swap the metal plate, and remove springs and the rocker without unscrewing the 4 screws on the stick controls. But you have to have delicate hands to be able to install springs on the other side, which thankfully I managed to do with a thick long metal pin for digging ear wax. Muahaha.

will this work for a normal tx? Meaning one used for flying real not simulating.

[KaldekBoch]

@holden1550 For this to work on a real TX, it needs to have a switch somewhere inside it which converts the stick inputs from Mode-1 to Mode-2 after you move the springs around. I would suggest that this switch would indeed be there, as otherwise E-Sky would have to manufacture two different models.

this is too detailed for me :O

I dont know why everyone is so gung ho about mode 2 when mode 4 is the most natural for a right hander and mode 1 is more natural for left hander. Mode 2 and 3 is just so un-nautural. And mode 2 is really only good if you want to learn how to fly a REAL copter since it mimicks the controls of a real one. Other than that if you are just doing the RC thing Mode 2 sucks. But I guess it all about which mode you learned in.

Thanks, just modded mine to Mode 1. ;-)

No offense, but couldn't you just change channels in the simulator instead of opening the controller up? I haven't received mine, so I don't know if the elevator has a spring or not.

[nilzxx]

Nevermind, just continued watching the video. So my "method" would make the pitch not jump back to center, which would be horrible. I like Mode-1 though. Just grew up with that and in my opinion as a right-handed flyer I prefer more control on the pitch.

[KaldekBoch]

Heh, you don't want to read my blog then. I don't mind folks who fly Mode 1 but I take a few shots at others who bag Mode 2 as being inferior. Any historical research will show that Mode 1 exists because technology at the time couldn't physically achieve Mode 2. I bet they would if they could have!

[KaldekBoch]

@nilzxx Nah you need to switch the springs over, so it has to be done.

Well Done ! and thanks for dropping us a line !
