I have had very good experiences dealing with FMA direct. I think its fmadirect.com. I have about 8 of their flight packs. Good stuff at reasonable prices. God flying, Dave

Where ever you go, just specify channel 24 when ordering.

Just go anywhere, towerhobbies.com, or FMA or Hobby Lobby, and ask for a futaba (or Futaba compatible) with a channel 24 crystal.

Futaba requires that the receiver be either 'high or low band' (24 is low) but the dealer or hobby shop will provide the right one.

I have used Futaba, Hitec and FMA, and all have worked well.

At the bottom of the page it says accessories needed in small print. That's your link. Could have been a little easier to find

When you follow the link under required items, it takes you to the page with the crystals. When you click the "Buy Now" button under the price, it takes you to a frequency selector page. That's where you specify what frequency you want. You'll want to select channel 24:72.270 MHz from the drop down list. It should then add the correct crystal to your chopping cart.

This is what you want to see in your cart: FRC824 RX XTL FM D LO 24 72270
