I’m finalizing the radio installation using my Kraft 7C Series 77 that I bought new in 1977. I had the radio narrow banded in 1988 when the new 72mhz frequencies were implemented and when the Hitec RCD Platinum AM dual conversion receivers became available in the late 80s I started using them with Futaba servos. The system has been very reliable and rock solid with the Kraft/RCD/Futaba combination. The Futaba output arms have the unique ability to be repositioned on the servo output shaft spines to compensate for the difference between the Futaba and Kraft neutral pulse width. I especially like the feel of the quality Kraft stick assembles. I just got a new Futaba 9C Super but the Kwik Fli deserves the Kraft. I plan to put the radio off and on switch in the wheel well along with the Rom-air retract air filler valve like I had on the original Kwik Fly.
