| I got a Sanwa VG6000 with my new plane ( my first ) and the throttle is on | the right,yet the book shows it on the left.
Lots of people have mentioned mode 1 vs. mode 2, and this may very well be the right answer, but I've got another question, which may be too basic, and if it is, forgive me ...
How exactly is thre throttle on the right? What defines the throttle?
I see two possible answers :
1) when I move the right stick up and down, the throttle moves.
2) the left stick has a spring on it for up and down, and the right one does not.
#1 indicates that you've put the plugs into the wrong slots on the receiver.
#2 indicates that your transmitter is set up for mode 1 or mode 3 (rare), which is what everybody else has been talking about.
#1 isn't very likely if you're familiar with R/C and you set up the plane yourself, but I mention it for the sake of completeness.
| I could swap them over but its a rather large job to remove and | resolder al the points etc.
I'm not familiar with that specific model of transmitter, but usually it's easier than that, as the spring can often be moved by itself.
