Since there are not very many Mode 1 Futaba fliers with jet experience , I will probably have to fly the maiden flight myself .
I've never done it myself, but I know a couple of Futaba fliers in my old club used to get around the mode-1 / mode-2 issue with a buddy-box. I don't know if All Futaba radios allow you to do this or only some, but it might be worth asking in the Futaba support forum to find out what the deal is.
