Benedini Decoder

Post by Jeff Hyder »

Hi Guys,
I wonder if you can help with a few pointers.I am thinking of investing in an 2.4Ghz 7 channel Futaba.Is it possible to program up the Transmitter to access the 12 sounds from a Benedini Module or do I have to use a Decoder?.If the Transmitter cannot be programmed can I connect the Decoder to one of the Futaba's proportional channels as I have done with my old Sanwa VG400.My sound module is aready programmed up Decoder.Hope this makes sense.!
Many thanks Jeff Hyder.

Hi Jeff

You can use the "toggle switch" control using either one of the joysticks or the 3 position switch on the Futaba 7C, but by far the easiest wat to control it is to fit the Benedini rotary encoder to channel 6. For a step by step guide, go to

Hope this helps

Mick

I have personally given up hope that politicians who never experienced war first hand will ever realise that war is the worst of all possible alternatives.

Hi Mick,
Many thanks for answering my questions and the thread to the guide photos on how to do it.Useing the Decoder is the way to go if you want access all 12 sounds so I will have a bash at it when I get my Futaba.
Thanks again Jeff Hyder
