inverting steering on Eflight MLP4DSM

Post by Hogi »

hi everyone. i recently picked up an Eflight MLP4DSM from ebay as it was only £6.00 and i needed something to drive the third part of my clusterbot ( when i eventually get round to building it :) ) it has no programming switches so i am wondering, how do i invert the steering channel?

thanks in advance for all replies and suggestions.

hold down the left left or right trim button (whichever direction you need to change it), then switch on the transmitter. Wait for a few seconds and the transmitter should make series of beeps. The channel should now be reversed.. If not, try again with the other button.

Out of interest, where on ebay did you find a MLP4DSM for £6? the seller I usually get them off has gone right up to £20 now...

i did it! thanks very much Rory :)

as for the transmitter, it's a second hand one. the Eflight label at the front is faded and the drive stick has a slight chip in it but apart from that it's in pretty good nick. i think it was just a one off sale but i'll scout around on Ebay for a bit and if i see any decent ones i'll post a link :) . thanks again Rory.

It works on all channel except the throttle channel for some reason... I manually re hacked the mode switch to be a throttle reverse switch on one of mine; not an easy job :L
And yeah, Blade transmitters are the same thing.
