Hi guys . Quick question about the toggle lever on the side of the handset. Anyone know what it does . It does operate a servo when plugged in . Cheers

Probably undercarriage for a plane. Only needs 2 positions up and down!

Thanks for the reply . There is an on /off toggle on the other side that says retract gear which I think is undercarriage  . This is a proportional type sweeping lever. I can't find a manual for it :(

That's just a proportional channel for what ever you need it for.   While that appears to be a vintage radio, most modern high-end multichannel air radios have them.  I have a few radios that have them on both sides.  All of mine, I can assign which channel(s) I want that slider to control.   Personally I don't use them though as they seem to easy to bump for me.

Cheers . Yes it is old but good and I agree the lever could be rotated by accident .

Thanks for your reply
