Mixer options for a non-mixing radio
I have a non-mixing 5ch Futaba radio and receiver (don't know the model off-hand), and a friend has loaned me a flying-wing (zagi? not sure) with motor/servos/batteries to learn how to fly.
It has elevons, so I need to mix signals in order to set up my radio system.
With a few quick searches I found an el-cheapo $12 mixer from Great Planes at tower, and one with some more options (directionality, v-tail, etc) from grauptner for about $30.
What other options are out there for me to purchase? Keep in mind I'm new to all of this, and my total investment so far is zero. Basically looking for something that will work reliably, and that may be useable in future projects if I choose to get in to this hobby.
Thanks in advance for any info.

RE: Mixer options for a non-mixing radio
For the Zagi, all you need is a simple mixer. The el-cheapo from Great Planes will work just fine. It can be used to mix for elevons or a V-tail; all you need to do is plug the appropriate channels into it.
