Your right! I saw the small grouping of electronics in the remote but for some reason it never occured to me that it was actually a receiver. All the years I spent flying, building and learning seems to have no real place today. Well I guess the flying is still similar except the computer radios. I remember when I got my Futaba 7FG to replace the Airtronics and Kraft radios I had, I thought I was cutting edge with all the fancy switches and special adj. in the back panel. Mabe with my new radios I can program out some of my old bad habits. I hope to be able to hit some pattern contests this summer.
