I’m thinking of Tomboy WR FW190 and Tempest PM Peggy Sue2 Mystic Laser 150v Stampe Laser 180 Mustang Laser 160i Giant Revolver Laser 310FT But that may all change!

Great stuff Martin, not sure what I’ll be taking yet.

OMG, only 2 weeks to go 😲 Don’t forget the Pete Miller tribute slot on Saturday afternoon plus a bit of Chuck and Duck plus radio assist in the evening.

I should have explained that the attrition mentioned above is to the models, not the pilots although that could be applied to their abilities 🤣

T9 or Hobby RC

If you’re talking about old camcorders then they were used by looking through an eyepiece rather than a screen, the eyepiece cuts out the light and makes it easier to see. However as soon as you zoom in it becomes more difficult to track, hence why having a separate, shrouded screen (field monitor)is a good idea. Something like this.

I find that the iPhone is great for most conditions and I can hold mine, without having to view the screen, and still keep the model in view. I used to use a Sony Ax53 but had to make a hood for the fold out screen to see it in bright light, in the end I made a ‘gun sight’ for it and used that instead. I’ve now got a Sony ZV E10 which is used mainly for VLOGs but use a separate, larger, hooded screen for outdoors work. My hat cam is a GoPro but like all of those types of camera the subject gets very small, very quickly. This vid was taken using my iPhone

Depends how small you want to go, I bought a set up these which are very good.

I’ve got one hanging up in the hangar, not been flown for at least 4 years so will be selling it at our club’s bring and buy in September!

The OP asked 2 questions, would it be easier to setup a ‘plane using a FrSky (Ethos) Tx and can the same Tx be ‘buddied’ to a Futaba Tx? The first question is based on an individual’s opinion (and experience) and imo the answer is yes. The second question has already been answered with a yes.

Looks like the old Hobby King one.

Wouldn't the cap strips obviate the need for that too?

I really don’t think so!

Will do!
