Servos, bomb bays, and channel confusion!

[Knoll17]

I'm considering building the baby blender. I have a hobby king radio (6 channels) (HobbyKing 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx & Rx V2 (Mode 2) to be precise) which I plan to use. However, I know that the baby blender is 4 channels, could I add a servo to the bottom to make a bomb bay? And if so, which channel to plug it into and would it even work at all? Thanks!

Yes you can, and you plug it into whatever channel you want. I don't know that radio but I suspect it's just a simple radio that's not programmable at all, in which case each switch is probably tied to a specific channel. if you have one 3 position an one 2 position, switch, you'll then want to connect it to whatever channel the 2 position is(probably channel 6, since 5 is probably the 3 position mean for flaps)

you have this radio I assume

Hopefully you also have one of these

If so you can programs channels 6 or 7 on one of the switches using the software that runs on you computer.

If you do not have that cable you may not be able to set it up.
