Re: Tx and Rx questions [TANKS]

[Kevin Ross <kjrcartoons-at-yahoo.com.au>]

Hi mac & Wendy

My experience with flying RC planes you can use
different Rx but must have maching crystals.

That is TX would be say 34 sanwa the Rx would have to
be 34 as well but in the same brand of Rx(hi etc,
futada,etc )otherwise funny things happened.

all best Kev
