I have an Aurora 9 transmitter I have had for a long time that has given me good service. I had a friend give me a Futaba T7C transmitter along with 2 planes ready to fly. My question is whether to just put HiTec receivers in the planes OR go to the trouble of learning how to operate the Futaba transmitter?? I am an old guy and am not always thrilled to learn something new, just saying. Your comments are appreciated.

While Futaba T7C is a pretty easy radio to program (easier I think than my Aurora 9), first do you have 2 Hitec receivers for both planes already?
If so, then stick to what you know, Hitec. You can get pretty good money still for a 7C on eBay, with two matching receivers.
But if you have to locate and buy at a premium price tag for used Hitec 2.4 Ghz receivers, I'd try using what came in the 2 planes and become familiar with the basic and advanced menu's on the 7C.

Thank you for the reply. So far, I had a couple of Hi-Tec compatible receivers so I just installed them in the planes and programmed my Aurora 9. All seems to work fine and I hope to maiden fly them tomorrow morning as the weather looks good, not a sure thing here! I keep an eye out for a few more receivers. I had quite a few planes and due to my diminishing flying skills as a result of many birthdays, I am able to re-use the receivers in my newer planes. The screen on the T7C is also quite small compared to the Aurora 9, but relearning a different tranny is not high on my list. Will report how the first flights go.
