You got a lucky deal!! The Futaba radios with problems were not what you describe. Your radio was in mode 1 that can be changed by the user. Mode 1 switches stick 2 to stick one. Some china and europe use this. The problem your radio may have had can easily be tested at the hobby store. It was a problem of the radio resetting to 0 and needing to rebind the RX. If you did this someone else who had the same problem would be able to control your heli.
