A better flip and the ability to have multiple weapons or on off things in the future but I really don't want to part with too much cash

If you consider hacking a transmitter an option, it's really quite easy to buy a cheap 4ch with channel reversing switches and adding one yourself. If not then I still use my planet 5 which has the desired switch controlled 5th channel, but not everyone would recommend it :P

Also, transmitters rarely have the first 4 channels controlled by anything other than the classic 2 axis sticks, so really: switch controlled channel -> at least a 5ch transmitter -> at least a 5ch receiver -> rx is more expensive, less common, larger and heavier.

Easy enough to mount a switch on a 4ch transmitter shoulder and wire it across the pot of the channel you're wanting to use for a weapon to get full travel instantaneously. Done this on a couple of my transmitters, comes in handy.

After the AWS, if you loan me the transmitter I can put in a flipper button for you, I've modded transmitters for that function before.

UPDATE:
Baby metal:chassis all built but I haven't quite got the scoop made or successfully got it moving as I tested my battery that came today and it works but i can't get it to move which means its either my inability to bind or some electrical fault(I really hope not)
I have also made an extended metal flipper on exuberANT and taken it right to the floor with araldite and sellotape so I'm nearly ready for aws 46

No cost, just my usual token bottle of Coca Cola would be much appreciated :). I will need to cover postage to send it back however, I'll let you know that when I go to post it.

Have you bound the transmitter to the receiver?
