Hello all. I have posted my story in the new section.
My major problem is a dead Attack 4 transmitter, never used but circa 1989.
I found a corroded battery, replaced it with a new one from Batteries America, proper specs. Happily I find that the motor runs with a new motor battery.
I have built the pushrods etc and getting ready to install the servos. The transmitter will not function or turn on. All of the eBay examples are a risk-none are listed as functional. Futaba customer support says that the TX is too old to repair.
I would like to complete the build and fly the plane. What would be the best way to do this with regard to the transmitter, servos etc.?
Thanks for your expert advice. By the way I have fond memories of my father and brother building RC planes and getting them airborne. I even did a Thermic 50 myself-that was lots of fun.
