I am working on a robot that will be controlled remotely. The robot is basically a humanoid with wheels. This project has a few servos OK let’s say 8 servos. Now I have never owned or ever used a airplane/heli type transmitter. So before I drop $600 on a transmitter I would like to know how they work? So here is what I want it to do.
Can you program it so ONE stick as you go up will power one servo and then as you go down past the center on the same stick and have it power another servo? I’ll say the same thing differently, on one of the up and down sticks if your at 50% to 100% you will be controlling one servo and then from 0% to 50% your controlling a completely different servo? Can I do that?
Next is that there are buttons on the controller. Can I set it up to have servo one be at 30% when pushed and so on or what are the buttons for?
Next question, Say I want servo one to be controlled by the right up and down stick, can I just set it up to do that or is each number on the receiver set to one of the buttons or stick?
Last question, Here is the radio I’m looking at, what do you guys think of it?

Thanks a lot this really helped, Yeah I been reading the manual for awhile now. I was always wondering what that mixed channel did. I have the 3pm-2.4g and last night I decided to look at it’s mix function and figured out how it worked. Thanks.
If anybody else like to add more go right ahead.
Yes, you can program the radio for 2 channels slaved to 1 function. As far as setting one servo to activate at a certain position on the throw is another question I would have to look at a manual to see. The switches on the radio do let you set a servo to a certain position. For example, on heli’s you flip a switch for throttle lock which sets the throttle servo at a certain position and then the throttle controls the pitch of the blades. Here’s a link to the manual for that paticular radio. Check out their mixing section to see if the radio will perform the functions you want it to do.

Heli fuel doesn’t go ‘off’ in the going bad sense. With the right storage conditions it is possible to store it for as long a 5 years but the real problem is whether you can avoid it becoming contaminated with moisture from the air. Each time the fuel is exposed to the air, it absorbs moisture and this can then prevent your model from running as smoothly as it might as the fuel burns. The worst thing you can do is to decant unused fuel back into its container as the re-poured fuel will suck moisture out of the air and then contaminate the pure stuff. If possible, always expel as much air from your storage bottle before tightening the cap.
