Anything like the Spectrum "AR6400 brick" for use with Futaba radios?
 
I want to build a micro F3P aerobatic Pattern plane for indoor flying.
I see many good choices from many different manufacturers that utilize the Spectrum AR6400 brick.
That is a great unit.... Rx and ESC and 2 servos all packaged in an ultra lite unit!!
BUT.... I use Futaba radios!!
Isn't there an equivalent "package" available that will accommodate Futaba??

The answer is no, but to use my Futaba transmitters I have gone to this

I also have a spectrum module for my 9Z that will run the AR6400 brick. Any Futaba module transmitter can be outfitted with a spectrum module.

I got stuck with the same problem. Decided I'd like to try indoor flying this winter, but I fly with a Futaba 7C. Sounds like Steve, above, found a good solution. For me, I watched online ads till a Spektrum DX6i transmitter came up used in good condition at a good price. Now that's my dedicated indoor tx and I'll use the Futaba again next year outdoors. I tried buying a RTF foamie once, but they break, and you're left with a lousy little tx.

Update: My DX6i wouldn't allow motors to run; throttle pot was bad. Seller had installed back light kit for screen, so Horizon wouldn't touch it. I fixed it by watching a youtube video on cleaning a pot on the DX6i. A common problem, apparently. I wouldn't go that route again, I'd get a conversion module or a DX6e.
