Mick, If you have a pair of aircraft style gear retract switches for channel 5,6 and don’t fancy the arrangement that I describe below then what model of radio and how old is it?
I was looking to see what you had in terms of channel 5,6,7 to work the bow thruster.Whether or not you had slider,rotary control or 3-position switches.
I’ve only used the forward reverse gimbals for independant throttle,one sideways for rudder and the other sideways for a bow thruster.The first time I tried that was using someone elses model and I had it mastered after a few minutes.I’m one of those folks who takes a few moments and learns the controls each journey.
If that suits ok to you then the only issue is power to each controller,motor suppression and whatever extras you want controlled by r/c.
If you take the sensible approach of “full access” to motors,servos and electrics for a total reinstall then you can rejig.
