Has anybody had any experience of using a Futaba 6J radio installation in a twin screw tug with electronize FR30HX units. The instruction manual only discusses aircraft and rotary craft.

As long as it is either 27/40 mhz or 2.4 ghz then it will be fine.....All radios are biased towards the fly boys and NO info at all for us mariners

Hi Alan.

P.M.sent

[Alanmclellan]

Thanks for your information on the subject. I am going to purchase a Futaba kit that will modify the left stick to allow it to sping to self centre and then follow your advice. I have seen elsewhere that my radio gear does not work with all speed controllers, so I am looking into that issue as well.

hi
I don't know what you have been told  but look at the f14 navy it solves all your problems.

Thanks for the information. I have solved my problem by buying a new radio set that is compatible with the ESCs' that are already in the boat. It is a Hitec AFHSS -Optic6 Sport which a club member kindly set up for me. My Imara tug now runs a treat and can turn in its own length.
