Oops! My RC is left handed.

!"^"$2$"£% !!!!

A bit of disappointment. My RC transmitter is left handed. Apparently I'm not the first one to get a wrong handed unit. My guess is that explains the low price. Who knows....

Returning it back to China and claiming a new is not my favorite option. So, I'm trying to give it a go.

Disassembly is fairly easy: just remove the 4 screws on the back. Just be careful with the cables that link the main electronics on the front panel the the batteries and connection port on the rear.

I've read that some guys swapped the whole gimbals: left and right. I decided to be more... mechanical? Throttle movement is loaded with a metal plate so it does not move from the position where you leave it, while the other side stick is just spring loaded. The base is semi symmetrical so they can be placed on either side. The only tool I needed apart from the screw driver was the pliers, to remove the pins on left gimbal that push the spring loaded lever and move to the other side gimbal. The spring loaded lever is easy to remove. Be careful, with the spring: it is tiny and black, and, easy to jump under your coach.

Restarted the unit and in the setup menu switched the sticks from mode 1 to 3. They only issue so far is that, upon restarting the unit, the standby position is needs to be manually done for the left stick. Somehow the firmware still thinks the throttle's on that side. Channel assignment looks ok. But I believe that if in trouble it could be fixed from the software side. Finger crossing.
