Also I am looking for a suitable Radio system for this boat. I want to controll lights with one button, bowthruster with another button/lever. etc
Wgat also do I need to install inside the boat to controll these functions??

RE: Robbe San Diego

Hi Jamie,

There are plenty of radio's that will do exactly what you want it to do.

Take a look at the following below, the firstvendor is in the UK and the second is in California, USA. Both have a good selection of transmitters that have such options available.

Thank you Rich for the info. Alternative 2 will work for me. But will a Spark control work? its only 3 channels I think, I need 4 channel?

RE: Robbe San Diego

I am using a FUTABA 4PL 2,4G S-FHSS, say now that I have 4 channels that are very suitable
for all functions.

The second alternative includes the transmitter so you won't need one. Unfortunately Robbe set up their expansion modules and other goodies only to run on their transmitter so you can't substitute with Futaba or any other brand.

Hello and thx,

But I can´t find the radar through this link. Is it a spinning radar?

Last night I glued the 2 top sections together. Today is putting all bits and pieces on.
