Outstanding accomplishment Clancy, well done[8D]

I would love if you would post pictures of your control system and how you are using it i.e. is it a conventional two stick 2.4 transmitter with a flight pack in the airplane and are you wearing the Tx on your belt?

The reason I ask is for ten years now I have been using a Bill Young 3 channel handle which sends encoded info over the wires to the airplane. Now this system has been wonderfull it has operational faults. It is time consuming to do up the lines as well as set them up and the wire leads with the plugs from the insulated control lines tend to break off from all this winding and unwinding. It would also be nice to be able to go back to conventional uninsulated lines and a simple handle.

Since I do no AMA controlline rulebook events I intend to set my next Ukie up with an inexpensive 2.4 two stick with this to be operated with my free hand and the tranny hung around my neck sticks facing outward. This is because I fly from a wheel chair and hanging from the waist is not practical.

I would appreciate your thoughts and love to see pics of your setup.

Once agine I love your Taube
