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

Re: A new antweighter (again!)
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

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.

I might do that someday in the far future but at the moment I lack many skills need to able to hack something open and understand what is what

Re: A new antweighter (again!)
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.

Re: A new antweighter (again!)
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

Re: A new antweighter (again!)
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.

Re: A new antweighter (again!)
Have you bound the transmitter to the receiver?
