For steering control only at the rear rudders.. I know that air boats can be a bit squirrely sometimes and just wanted to know for future reference. My current air boat has three 'runners' under it to help it track and steer without it going around like a car losing control in an icy road. I use the Spektrum DX2E ( three channel I believe). Where would a gyro plug into the 3 channel receiver with it's two plugs? Channel #2 is one, but what about the AUX plug or does it get plugged into channel #3? OR are gyros for 3 channel receivers different? Thanks for responding. Oh, and you forgot to contribute a link for large scale air boat plans.............
