You should be able to do it Gold but you will probably have to lose some of the functions, i.e. "y" the yaw (rudder tv) to the rudder channel. That would free up a channel. If you want to hook both the 2d/off/3d and be able to change gain from the radio you will need two empty channels on your receiver. Again this is doable but you will probably have to y one of the other tv axis to it's corresponding channel. What you lose when you y them in is the ability to turn that tv function off.

I do not want the TV to be used at all anyway!. I wish there were a way just to disable the TV compleatly!

I believe that will free up three channels then. There is a way you can disable it completely. You just have to set the tv nozzles to their neutral positions and lock them in place by screws or whatever means you want to use. The key is to ensure you have them set to neutral and it is probably best to fix them with something that can be removed in the future if you decide to use them or you need to adjust them for some reason.

I wish there were a way just to shut the TV down without having to jam something into them. I wish this jet never had TV in it. I only wanted this to fly in a circle nice and under control. I have no interest in all the 3D stuff. But you would think there would be a way to just turn the TV off without all that other stuff having to be done to the jet.

Can any one tell or give me a solution to my question below :

Question : Does Guardian needs a three position switch in the transmitter?

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I can't see it.

In my transmitter (futaba ff7), I need almost all the stitches as I use mixing and landing gears.

I am really not prepared to buy a 12g futaba or any other transmitter. It takes too long for me to programme and getting used to a new tx.

Any help wud be much appreciated.


Cheers

Its not as hard as it sounds to disable the tv. There is marks on the tv units that you can use to line them up to the neutral position. All you really have to do is disconnect/remove the control linkages from the tv servos to the tv units. Once that is done its just a matter of fixing the tv nozzles to neutral. I would think the easiest way would be with small screws. Plus this gives you the ability to remove them and make adjustments if necessary.

It works as expected, during my testing at home, rolling the Radian left causes the Guardian to compensate with right rudder and vice-versa. I will let you know how it works for real when I perform the flight tests this week.

I've used it on a rudder only plane, it works as you would expect.

Answered across various posts:

*If you do not need to adjust the mode or gain while flying, no.
*If you have 2 position switches available, some posts talk about how to switch between 2D and 3D or turn the gyros on (some gain) and off (0 gain) while flying.
*If you need to make adjustments on the ground, some posts mention temporarily using a channel to program the Guardian (or use the micro-USB port with a PC). Or another way is to use a servo tester (my post #2984).

Thanx Flying llama for your quick reply. I'll look at your post

The more I experiment with the Guardian, the more I love it!
Remote Tx control of 2D/off/3D and gain is a must have for me!

Cudn't wait any longer so ordered mine today ;~). Hopefully it will be with me in a day or two.

Another silly question - will it work with rudder ele model?

My sacrificial lamb is going to be a pz Super Cub. I cud knock up an aileron model, if needed.

Seeing Beaver report here convinced me "I want it NOW" so I can use it in my Beaver too.

Thanx guys for help so far and wait to see your reply.

Cheers

Sorry posted twice.... my high speedo fingers

The aileron connection into the Guardian is required. However, JayY mentioned a few posts above that he connected his receiver's aileron channel to the Guardian aileron input and then connected the aileron output to the rudder servo. I don't see why you couldn't instead connect the rudder channel into the aileron input if you're more comfortable using rudder stick movements.

Thanx a bunch "TheBum" :~ /

I read the post just this mo.
