I am up in Alaska travelling around in a RV and flying where I can.[ Currently Fairbanks ]

today my trusty Futaba 9 Tx went wrong. I was flying when I noticed that the aileron trim was not working, no movement and no beep. About 30 seconds later I got a couple of BIG GLITCHES. Got it back on the ground ASAP [ which was interesting as I only had 50% control of 50% of surfaces approx.! ]a nd watched all sort of uncommanded movements for another 30 seconds. After 15 minutes stick twiddling everything seems to have settled back to normal EXCEPT NO AILERON TRIM. Clearly I have a Tx problem.

Is there a another Futaba Tx say the 7 that will feel EXACTLY the same as my old 9. Same case with rate and other switches in the same place. I am a hooligan 3D pilot and switch between different mixes a lot so I do not want to have to learn a new case/switch layout.

Oh yes and I want to stay with 72 megs FM.

I suppose I can get my old 9 serviced but as we are travelling around getting things coordinated for pickup his a major hassle esp. when you are unsure of package arrival dates.
