Hi All,
I've got a question about controllers. I currently have two helicopters. One is a 4 channel and one is a 6 channel. Are they compatible to airplanes too or do I need a seperate controller for that. Appreciate any help or advice, I would like to buy a plane for the times when the weather isnt appropriate for helicopters.
It would certainly help if you had told us what kind they were BUT most likely you will be fine. Heli radios usually don't have the ratchet on the throttle which MOST airplane pilots like but many also don't mind that. The 6 channel switch/pot legends may not make sense for planes but you can deal with that too.
