Thinking about a four channel transmitter.

Anyone altered their transmitter so that you have two channels up and down instead of one across and one up/down.
So you could have left and right motors both in the same direction.

You'd have to move one of the pots through 90 degrees , butcher the case and provide another control lever etc.

Frankie,

You are probably already aware that Robbe do a twin stick set up as you describe and I believe you can buy the unit seperately.

Is this of any help ?

Yes that's what inspired me, but it's £90, and I don't suppose it wold fit my old Futaba?

You could always give Westbournes a ring.  I believe that they are very helpful.
