Does anybody know if an older (early gold sticker) Futaba T6XH transmitter can be used on a CCPM heli?

I switched the Futaba Tx to heli, put my Esky Tx's crystal in it. Everything worked right except the collective only operates the fore/aft (elevator) servo. It did not pull down the other two servos.

Any ideas, or is this Tx not going to work with CCPM?

Don't know how much this helps, but here is [link=http://www.futaba-rc.com/discontinued/futk29.html]Futaba's page[/link] on that model of transmitter. I did not see any reference to CCPM, but it does link to the swashplate PDF that describes swashplate types.

VinceHerman - Thanks!!! The 120 deg. swashplate with 3 servo mixing is listed. This is an early computer Tx, it's not exactly what you would call "user freindly". This will likely take a lot of trial & error, but hopefully I can get it to work. The esky Tx is not very "pilot freindly" (almost no fine tuning capabilities).

Well, It appears that I spoke to soon. I have a T6XH. The T6XH-S has the swashplate functions. Mine doesn't. With several preassigned mixing functions, and two user programmable mixing functions, I might could do it. Unfortunately, it appears that my Tx channels don't match the 'all in one'. Oh well, it was a thought.
