Hi All
Having been away from the RC scene for approx 20 years, I now have an interest in building my own quadcopter.
I recently dugout my Futaba 35Mhz FP-T6NL radio gear and am now wondering if this can be used in my new project.
Any support would be appreciated.
Thanks.
 
Im not sure most flight controllers use FM signal much these days..Most are 2.4g now and this offers no interference with others flying around you as well.

I would consider maybe a Spektrum 6i at minimum and this will carry you for years to come with anything you fly.

There are other lower cost options though.
 
Hi, Thanks for the reply.
I am not sure if the Flight Controller will interface with my radio , hence the question.
There are some good Youtube videos on Quadcopters and I was surprised to see how big some of these craft are, 1 Metre accross !!
I had a look at the Spektrum 6i and see on Ebay they are approx £60 (TX only) and thought it was a good price.
This will make a nice winter project.
Thanks again.
 
Most are all 2.4g or newer futaba reception...Im not really aware of any that accept FM channels.

Youll need a matching receiver as well with the radio...Spektrum has a combination package that includes a receiver and should be all you need radio wise to be compatible with most all flight control boards.

The DX6i is a really nice radio...Ill be looking to get one myself when i move up to the "hobby grade" quads and heli's.

For now its the "toy grade" for fun:D
