Central Box question: is there a way to get "just a few more channels" with the CB200? The plane I am working on does not really have room for a CB400, so I am using a CB200, but I need 16-17 channels. I could fall back on matchboxes for the flaps and rudders (it's an F-18) to save two channels if I have to .. though I really prefer one channel per servo. And I'll be using two receivers (probably 1x2.4 and 1x900 .. maybe 2x2.4).

I am moving away from Futaba, but on that system this is easy with another S-Bus decoder.. sigh.

Since the CB200 does not have an EXbus output like the CB 400 [Edit: this is incorrect ... see below], I think I am stuck. Funny, since with the CB400 you have 24 channels and would not be stuck anyway, but with the CB100 and CB200 you might want to extend but they don't have EX bus out.

Maybe set the two RXs to PPM out and "tee" each one into a CB200 and a CB100? But lose the ability to see the CBs in device explorer?

thanks all
Dave
