Ok let me get this right. I can use the hitech reciever with the futaba controler??? I understand they have to be on the same channel but will the 2 different products work together???? I work in an enviroment where if they are not made by the same company the equipment will never talk. (propritary software.) Please let me know if I am wrong. I do know that if someone with a different radio and same channel can make me crash bit please let me know.
