Little bit of help needed.....

Hi guys,
Hopefully your collective expertise will point me in the right direction.
I have, waiting to be installed in my HL Tiger, an Elmod Think Tank Eco. I intend to run it with my trusty Spektrumised JRX-3810 with a spare 6 channel Orange Rx I have . I've only flown RC helis and, obviously, I dont want the Tx in heli mode because of the mixes. I've been playing around and airplane mode seems to, according to the stick monitor screen, give me the control I will be wanting. I'm putting throttle and steering on the left stick, turret and gun on the right, so it isn't too confusing when I switch over to a heli. My question is will it work on airplane mode?
The obvious answer seems to be try it and see but some input would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

Airplane mode works. See below.

• Airplane to tank term translation:
rudder = turret rotation
throttle = throttle
elevator = gun elevation / gun firing
aileron = steering

• For right stick steering, throttle & turning tank setup, use:
rudder = ch 1
throttle = ch 2
gun = ch 3
turret = ch 4

• For left stick steering, throttle & turning tank setup, use:
rudder = ch 4
throttle = ch 3
gun = ch 2
turret = ch 1
