Suggested Futaba radio system for Top Flight P-47 .61-.90,Thanks

Your budget?

I am using a Futaba 8FG in my TF P-47 but a Futaba 7C Fasst system would also work.

I used a 10C when I wrote [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=1134]THIS REVIEW[/link]. Then I gave the plane to my dad and he's been flying it with a 6EX ever since

A six channel will work but both ailerons and flaps will need to work off of a Y cable. I like to have the ailerons on separate channels so that differential can be set if needed. That is why I would use a Futaba 7C radio.

Bruce

This is one of THEE BEST flying planes I have ever had the pleasure of testing - No differential needed.

Besides, differential can be added mechanically if you really wanted it.

I should know better than to argue with you. But you must admitt that it is easier to set the end points for both ailerons if they are on different channels. And yes, that can be done mechanically too.

Bruce

It's really six of one, a half dozen of the other. Some people find one way easier, others prefer the other method.

I'm also a cheapskate Is it worth 60 bucks more for an extra channel I can live without?

OK, lets leave it at that. BTW, I bought the TF P-47 60 size based on your review. I am putting the new OS .95V FS in it and am looking forward to flying it.

Bruce

Man, if that engine is as good as I think it is that will be one sweet combo!

thanks for all the replies. Was very helpful. I think I'll go with the Futaba 7C . (no way I could even mention a $500 radio system for one of my "stupid planes" to my wife) and a SuperTigre G75 for power. So, could I set up bomb drops with the 7C? Thanks

The Futaba 7C is a good choice. I have had one for five years and even though I bought a Futaba 8FG a couple of years ago, I still use the 7C for a number of planes.

Bruce

I use a JR 9X2 for mine but I only use 7 channels so a 7C should be fine.

Can't load a pic at this time (RCU problem), sorry- John.
