Thank you Steve and Lightfoot for your information. That helps alot.
Lightfoot, you said your article talks about converting an old Futaba transmitter to use for the FMS. Which type of Futaba transmitter are you refering to? I'm not able to find it on the site. Nice site by the way too!
Now, having this new information, I have another question on transmitters. I've seen MANY of them on Ebay for sale. If I wanted to buy one and use it for FMS, what would be a good checklist to run through when determining if a tx is a good buy? I hope asking this question doesn't irritate anyone, but it's something I've been really curious about. As I have not even figured out which tx I would like for my 4ch trainer

(still doing research on this at the moment)
Thanks A Lot,
