How to swap the controller's sticks?

[Jourei]

A newbie quadcopter pilot saying hello!

I've been searching around for a solution to this for some time now but haven't found any sort of tutorial on how to do this, so I'll ask you:

How do I switch over the control sticks' behavior? As in, left stick to move and hover around vertically and right stick to turning and ascending/descending.
I've been playing console games for long enough to get used to control everything this way.

Thanks in advance!

There is an option to change the Tx to 'Mode 1'.

Thus:
>left stick operates elevator & rudder,
>right stick operates throttle & ailerons.

Does this sound like what you are describing?

Open up the RC System Assistant and you will see on the top of the first page an option to select Mode 1 or 2.

Of course the hard-core pilot could rewire the internals to any combo he/she desires but this is easier with no risk.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Yes, this is halfway of what I meant, but the copter still turns from the left stick as I'd like it to hover left/right from it.

Yea, I see now.

That's actually Mode 4:
>left stick operates throttle & ailerons,
>right stick operates elevator & rudder.

There's no option for that with the OEM Tx.

Unless you want to buy a programmable system with all the mode capabilities then your only option is to rewire the gimbals to your preference.

Not hard for a friend who is good with electronics to do this if you are not experienced or comfortable doing it yourself.

Well, I can only see two modes.


So it looks like I should get used to the turning instead of moving.
I'm an electrician myself too and can operate a soldering iron, but that gets a bit too far for me to be bothered to tamper with something.
Kinda strange you can't remap the controls freely, but oh well...

Thanks for the answers and help!
