Futaba transmiter foam replacements
I have a single transmitter carrying case, aluminum in color. I have a Futaba 10 CAP transmitter I carry in it. I have been looking all over for a replacement foam insert for it. I could hardly believe Futaba didn't have them, but they told me they did not. If anyone out there has a lead, I would appreciate it. The bottom of my case measures 15 1/2" wide, 11 1/8" deep, and 3" high. Thanks in advance.

RE: Futaba transmiter foam replacements
Be careful of the foam you choose, some will break down and leave a gummy mess which will corrode and ruin any metal that comes in contact with it. This comes from sad experience. I have not discovered a way to identify the offending type so only use the foam for transport not storage.

Go to an upolstery shop. Most will cut a piece of quality foam the exact size you need. The easiest way to cut the block of foam is with an electric knife.

Bob....I never thought of the electric knife....I used a band saw and it works great on upholstery foam.

Appreciate the pointer although I could not bring up a web site set forth as mycasemaker.com. I also Googled them with no luck. If you have any other way to get in touch with them, I'd be happy to try. Thanks, Mike

RE: Futaba transmiter foam replacements
It sure worked just fine this morning. I really appreciate the recommendation. I have asked around for two months with no one having any idea; and ordered one which they said would fit, and I ended up throwing it in the trash. Thanks, Mike
