Some prerequisites for convenient
modeling
This is my radio: a good old Futaba FC18v3 Plus, with self-made
CAMPAC module installed.
I've installed some switches for dual-rates (take-off,
aerobatics), down-timer (8 min) and one for dedicated knife
flight settings: slight rudder-aileron(-elevator) mix.
My self-constructed, very handy starter box:
Wooden box, power-panel, 12V/7Ah lead accu, ordinary glow-plug,
Kavan starter: planetary reduction gear,
robust, quite strong & personally very recommended - I think
mine is now about 14 years old and worked so far flawlessly. The
wooden box was bought in a do-it-yourself store according to the
dimensions of the lead accu (151x65x94mm, 2530g), which fits
perfectly in. One edge of the box was cut off to get a beveled
mounting of the power panel.
