You do not need to change the crystal in your transmitter. Just buy a crystal for your new receiver that is on the same channel. Make sure you buy a receiver that matches the shift (positive or negative) of your transmitter.
Thats exactly what I thought I could do...by what others say though, it isn't true
No one has said that here.
IF transmitter is a 72Mhz FM transmitter you are golden. Don't touch the transmitter (TX) you can even use your existing receiver (RX)in a larger plane.
IF you want a small park flyer like the slow stick you mentioned you will need a small receiver (micro receiver)
whatever receiver you get it has to be compatable with your Futaba transmitter that you want to use. Receivers are divided between positive and negative shift. Futaba uses Negative shift, so your new reciever has to be Negative shift OR shift selectable OR auto shift.
The Hitec receiver in the flight pack I posted earlier is an auto shift receiver. You need a Hitec single conversion crystle for the receiver ONLY that is the same channel as the crystal that is currently in your transmitter.
Bottom line. You will have your Futaba Transmitter with your old Futaba crystal and your new Hitec receiver with your new Hitec crystal and as long as they are the same channel it will work.
mclina- your last post was the only one where
YOU or
ANYONE mentioned changing TX crystals. RCKen and Missileman are exactly correct.
