Status: offline 		Hi

I want to fly combat gremlins.
I have an old futaba attack 4 channel radio.
Can I get a mixer for these older radio type such as the GP or gws type mixers that work for AM band servos?

If so were and which kind


Thanks

So, if GWS makes an elevon mixer box that plugs in between the RX and the servos, it should work fine.

Because it won't work.

Gremlins use elevons, not just duel aileron servos.

FMA also has a mixer.

In both, all you do is plug in the servos in one end and plug the other ends into the receiver aileron and elevator channels. Easy, no need for a computer radio.
