on the attached picture you will see why i have to change the attribution of the 3 positions switch to somewhere else.
Thanks

From the looks of it, you might want to consider replacing the switch rather than remapping.

Will give you a chance to clean up any dirt that may have entered the case and/or the sticks when it met up with the ground or whatever fell on the controller.

Just a thought.

i ve got you Jeff and you re absolutly right!i've lost the 3ways switch by trying to tightening too much.Then solder comes up with the electronic board while i thought it was just a screw lose and tightening needs.

I'm not sure there is even a way to remap the switch. Since you are essentially flying an aircraft it would be safer to repair the damage.

my issue is that i ve found websites where i can buy the part but unfortunatly they don t ship it to my island!even yuneec europe can t do anything except asking me to send it back to them while its not under warranty anymore which means expensive repair and lot of waiting time to get back to me for a part which cost 25 bucks

Dan,

Perhaps if you offered free lodging in exchange for a courier service, you might get some takers as to vacation seekers.

You can buy that part direct from Yuneec. If shipping is an issue maybe someone can purchase and ship to you? I’d help if need be as I could stand to order a couple spares myself as I still have some of those bad switches in a couple of STs. You could IM me and arrange it. Can you get UPS there?
