Default RE: NEED RADIO HELP..FUTABA SKYSPORT-T4YF

Yes 72.330 is channel 27 and do not change that (to change a non module Tx to a different channel requires retuning by a facility). You do not necessarily need the Rx you listed, you can use any of a number of FM Rx's that are negative shift. Most of the aftermarket suppliers will supply Rx's in either positive or negative shift to match your Tx and some Rx are even manually selectable to work with either type. Hitec and FMA are two of the larger and provide quality stuff.

The Rx's you cannot use are Airtronics or JR since they are both positive shift and you cannot use any brand PCM Rx. What you will need is what is called a flight pack that includes everything that goes into the airplane. Rx, crystal to match your Tx channel, Battery, Servos, extension and switch.


You can use either single or dual conversion Rx's but a single conversion Rx must have a single conversion crystal and the same for DC. Also even if the tx is a futaba, if the rx is a hitec only use a hitec Rx crystal ordered to match the channel of your Tx.
