Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! There must be many users out there who have outgrown their simple 4-channel helis but are intimidated by the (apparently) much more complex 6 and 8 channel transmitters. Something as simple as the default settings for the F MODE, HOLD / RUDD D/R / MIX, AUX2/GYRO, etc. (on my new WK2801) are not in the manual. We live in fear of a switch setting disaster. I look forward to your "intermediate" lessons - I expect they'll answer **many** questions.

Thanks for the video, answered some questions. I think I prefer Mode 2 even though I live in a mode 1 area on ya map. It more like game pad controls on a PC. One question though. Can you invert the climb and pitch so pull back is climb?

[erkrystof]

@bobbavet That depends on the transmitter and capabilities, but if it's your typical programmable transmitter, should be no problem. What kind do you have?

Great videos! The presentation method and organization are amazing. You are surely an intelligent hobbyist.
