Default RE: 2.4GHz Single-channel

A couple of new sets I made up this week, both using Frsky DIY. The first one is quite conventional, its a Macgregor MR200 bang-bang set. This particular one is quite nice & clean, & all the case patterning is intact. It uses the S/C escapement emulation encoder as before.

And the second, I wanted something small, single channel, but proportional, with the intention of finding an Adams magnetic actuator to make a 2.4g pulse-propo outfit. It uses the Macgregor Digimac 1+1 emulation encoder [link]. I would have liked it smaller but the only readily-available stick unit pretty much defined the final size. The Futaba 7C and OS Pixie are there just to give some scale. The single-axis stick came from half of an old 2ch car radio, and the set runs off a 2S 450mah lipo. Originally it was to be a strictly rudder-only set for S/C gliders, but in the end I added the 'plus one' button on the stick unit which I suppose makes it more versatile, with propo rudder and sequential 3-position throttle. The label is a bit naff. I'd love to find a way of making a proper anodised logo plate, like the ones sported by old Skyleaders and Krafts etc.

Cheers
Phil
