Title: Planet T5
Post by: me3 on May 06, 2013, 07:14:43 pm

Hi again,
I have recently brought a Planet T5 2.4GHz. I would like to know if it is possible to make the sprung stick spring back to a position other than the centre. For example could I make it spring to, what would normally be, reverse when I let go?
Thanks, Reece

I should imagine that was a challenge.  There are two springs per lever and these centre the stick from either direction.  You could do it by redesigning the system as it's not going to be an 'off the shelf'  solution.

Thank you Ken, I will have to make do because we really aren't 'pro' enough to do that sort of stuff!

Why not place an elastic band around the stick and attach the other end down to the battery box  ??    :}
