| I have hacked the 4 in 1 reciever, and have found the mixing part seems to be in the reciver side of the board and the tail control and gyro mix is in the second half of the reciever system.. The transmitter seems to be a standard six channel.. I went brushless on the main motor and still retaining the brushed tail motor. If anyone would have any idea's where I could locate a brushless tail motor, P.M. me or post reply. I check back and read the board often.

The headers for CH3 and CH4 were installed "upside down" to interface with the mixing board inside the 4-in-1. To access these channels either solder a servo extension directly to the pins, solder pins to the pin "stubs" or get double sided 3-pin inline headers and remove the old headers and replace 'em with the double sided units. I soldered pins to the "stubs" to plug my ESC into CH3.
As for the brushless TR motor, a lot of folks are using the Feigao 12mm motor with a Phoenix 10 ESC. If you go that route, you need to go with all separate components (i.e ditch the 4-in-1) or figure out a way to use channel 4 and still the the TR mixing. There are adapters you can plug into the TR motor interface to convert that signal back into something an ESC can utilize. I'm still contemplating this as going separates will run me about $150 more and thus far my upgrade costs are well over what the CP cost me new. It does, however, fly *MUCH* better than the stock bird.
