All I need to do is find a suitable place for the switch so I don't have to dismantle anything. It's a pig to get in to.

Again, you can program your flysky i6 radio to do it, and no need to solder anything or install any switches.

Now you've lost me. How do you program a FlySky transmitter?

Due to I dont have your radio I can not guide you step by step, but what you need to do is to limit the output signal of the stick that moves your barrel to an 80% or so. Doing it, you will be able to move your barrel at your will exactly like it works now, except it wont shoot, so thats great.

Then, you need to asign a signal of channel 3(if i remember well) with the maximum output power you can (125% probarbly) to any switch you want to have the barrel shoot, and -125% for the machine gun to another switch.

Done. This works with IBU boards too.

Your radio is pretty decent and capable of doing more things than some people thinks. It even can have 10 channels!

Thanks. That seems to make sense to me. I will give it a try.

80% and 125% being travel adjustment right?

This issue and also be solved using fire buttons (momentary switches wired to the trims) which mean you don't affect the elevation. I've also found a self centring left stick is a huge help here.

Just fitted a momentary switch to mine, I have been meaning to do that for about 5 years, lol. Only took about 10 mins. Just soldered two wires onto the pot terminals and that was it, job done.

That is a clever and easy fix. Thanks for the tip
