I was interested in the compatibility of the new 2.4 GHz transmitters and got this response from Futaba for the 3 questions I asked. It appears that the only restriction is that the buddy box have the square connector.

Regards,

Thank you for your recent e-mail.

1. Yes, the 6EX will work as the master with a 4YF as the student.

2. No, it will only be a standard 4 channel setup with no mixing or programming available.

3. There is a one second delay going from the 6EX to the student transmitter but not back to the 6EX.

I have 3 questions. Will the 6EX-2.4 GHz work as the master with a T4YF as the student box?

Will any of the program setup for the model be available to the student? I.E. end point adjustments, expo, trim, etc. Or will these be inhibited? The manual states that when the trainer function is enabled one must select which model is to be used. This implies that these will be available but I'm not sure.

The manual also states that there is a one second delay when the instructor initially depresses the trainer switch. Does this occur each time or only the first time? Also is there a delay when the instructor takes control? If so how long?

Thanks in advance.

Jerry
