Hi, I'm currently in the process of building up my cheetah piece by piece.. and I'm using my TX16S, which I have for my FPV copter flights anyway.. but the left stick doesn't have a spring, so I would like to have the left stick for throttle and a switch where I can then can shift into reverse gear.
Is this possible ?

To my surprise, the answer to your question is: yes. I had forgotten all about it, but this question has come up before and we created a work around that does exactly what you describe.

See the Manual Transmission entry in the Functions list.

But basically there are three functions called "Manual Transmission - Forward / Reverse / Neutral" that you can assign to a three position switch. Presently it does require a three position switch for all three functions, so a two position switch wouldn't work. You can read more about when this change was added in this post: "Manual" transmission possibilty.

Give it a try and let me know if you have any issues.
