2.4ghz to 35Mhz

[jimmyboy]

Hi all, is it possible to connect a Futaba 6EXA 35mhz to a Futaba 2.4 Ghz via a buddy lead. If so can you explain please, Jim

[simon barr]

Yes you can, I use a 35 mhz 6EXA as a buddy all the time.

You will have to activate the buddy mode in the 2.4 set if this is being used as the master, and take the Xtal out of the 35 mhz set.

I think you can use any two Futaba sets if both have the latest type buddy lead socket, square not round..   See the Futaba website.

When I last did this it worked OK but with a major caveat.  There was a delay of about 1 -1.5 secs when transferring control to the student (35mhz). Taking control back to the master was instant.

The technique was for the instructor to get the plane straight & level, press the training switch and pause before saying "you have control", this pause prevented the student putting in big control movements because of no response during the switch over.  I can't remember for certain the exact radios, but it was probably a 6x?? 2.4 Ghz, and a 7CAP 35mhz.

The 35 mhz Tx must be using PPM.

Many thanks to all who responded about buddying up a 35 set to a 2.4 set.
