I brought a AH-64 Apache heli last year when I don't know anything about RC.
On the box it says 4 CH Co-Axial Heli. After I read this forum I learn about RC and now I realise the TX for that AH-64 Apache has only 2 CH. Why ???
I don't understand :headscratch: :help:

Did you buy this one? http://www.hobbytron.com/ElectricRCAH64ApacheRTRHelicopterDR678.html

It says 4ch radio

A 4 channel radio will have movement to left, right, up and down on both gimbals(sticks)

The big question is, what made you think that you only have 2 CH ?

Yes The same one I brought it.
Anwar,
The TX which I have it the let side control can move up and down only and right side Control can move left and right only :(
FYI, I brought this in one of the toy shop in Dubai city center.

OK, so your suspicion is valid :(

There are multiple versions with the same name.  It was not fair to advertise 4ch and put a 2ch inside.  But you have to look at how much you paid.  The 4 channel ones where going above Dh200, so if you paid Dh100 or so, then you got what you paid for :(

Since you mentioned it was from a "toy" shop (instead of a full RC shop like "Hobby Centre"), most likely it is a cheap toy model.

Man, Thats a 2 Ch radio.... I guess. You might have bought a fake copy...  Do you have any sliding switch for throttle other than sticks? Just curious  :headscratch:

No. there was no toggle switch on the TX. only has 2 stick and trim adjustment for those 2 channels.
But as anwar said I pay only Dhs80 for this one. But my question is why they are cheating like this? >:(
