Problems with R/C 6ch transmission

You have the idea mostly right.

You mentioned that you have a menu and in two menu options you want RC Control - you could represent each of your menu options as a mode - MODE_MANUAL, MODE_RC_NORMAL, MODE_RC_XXX etc

Then you can have a 'switch case' statement inside loop which does different things depending on the value of gMode -

switch(gMode)
{
 case MODE_MANUAL:
  // put your manual control code here
 break;
 case MODE_RC_NORMAL:
  // put your manual control code here
 break;
 case MODE_RC_XXX:
  // put your manual control code here
 break;
}

If you modes are very different, one way that I have done this in the past is to have the code I want for each mode in a separate function -

switch(gMode)
{
 case MODE_MANUAL:
  doModeManual();
  break;
 case MODE_RC_NORMAL:
  doModeRCNormal();
 break;
 case MODE_RC_XXX:
 doModeRCXXX();
 break;
 // etc etc etc
}
