OK. It was worth asking anyway. I know that some brands of radio gear are just repackaged Futaba; didn't know if anybody knew if this was the same deal, that's all. Will get the Futaba crystals. Hey, that's why I'm in this forum!

Also I'm taking your advice - setting up my Pulse with its own gear so I can keep my trainer flight worthy, both for me for an easy flight, and to let some other new pilots experience the wonderful flight of the Nexstar.

Thanks guys.
