OpenTX is intended to be highly configurable and compatible. Mode 1 radio has the throttle located on the right transmitter stick, while Mode 2 has the throttle stock on the left. Japanese and Australian pilots predominantly fly Mode 1 while in the US and China it is predominantly Mode 2. Mode 3 and Mode 4 are some special variations not really popular in the market.<\/p>\n

OpenTX allows you to map and change controls and modes easily due to its ease of output channel reassignment. Such flexibility can be highly valuable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
