Default Futaba skysport question...

Hello all,

I have a bit of a problem with the skysport I just bought. I assume most of you that have the radio probably have the same thing.

The left stick is ratcheted instead of spring return to middle. I was under the impression that airplane/heli radios were like that but surface versions were spring loaded.

I looked inside, and it looks like it can be modified, but I can't seem to find the parts anywhere, is there a way aside from sending it to futaba?

Thanks

Marc

yes you can.
Safest way to do this is to call futaba and get the part numbers from them.

If you have a 4yf the parts that you need for this are
Swing arm part number is HSP78901
Spring part number is HSP67450

Cost is about $1.50

Then have your local Futaba dealer order them.

I have some on order through AAF.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, it looks rather easy to do so I'll probably order the parts and just do it... It is a pain though, that a surface radio doesnt at least come with it, if not installed...
