Status: offline 		Hello all,

I have bought a Futaba 7c 2.4, but it doesn't have a rachet throttle stick .

Question, is there any way to enable the rachet, or does it have to be sent in to be added on.

TY

I have never seen a full scale anything with a ratchet throttle....

The most common way to modify the Futaba aircraft version to a smooth ratchet (which all heli and most 3d plank flyers prefer) is to open the back and flip over the spring clip, if you bought it used, you may just need to reverse the throttle tensioner.
