TheFlyingCrust Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hi Brad. Are they compatible to buddy? If not have a look at this. I bought one and it works on the bench. Not tried it in anger. You just need room in the model for it and another receiver. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogs Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have one of these , essentially the same as the one recommended by Ian, it works really well, and gets over the incompatibility of my Futaba / Hitec combo. The only problem I had was my Futaba 6ex "deadman" trainer switch is not channel based. I had to convert one of the other switches (landing gear).

Caveman Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I second the Hobby King wireless buddy system as per the link from TheFlyingCrust. I've mentored a couple of guys using the system with no problems whatsoever. It works well and switches transmitters very quickly, so the trainer can take control from the trainee instantly if things go wrong. I use the gear switch (CH5 on my tx) to switch transmitters. Being a non-sprung switch it's more replaxing than holding a sprung trainer switch! GDB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
