I too am an old man with a mini 2, rec flyer with Trust . The mini 2 has no internal RID and won't need one if you stay a recreational flyer. Hold on to it, it's the only MINI without the tracker.
I agree with you. My mini 2 ,to my understanding is the only mini not equipped with the chip. Sub 250, no RID, Smart Controller not 107, no plans to change or add a thing .
I too am frustrated at the lack of being not being able to reverse the stick. I have a smart controller and have opened it up to try and change it. I did not have enough time to completely explore my options. Hopefully someone has done this. Please help.
