Title: Planet T5
Post by: Sandy on October 09, 2010, 11:37:52 am

Hi,

New here, and keen.

Regarding this R/C transmitter and the two josticks is it correct to say that, in Mode 2, the left hand joystick has racheted motion up/down and left/right and the right hand joystick has racheted motion up/down but spring loaded motion right/left?

If this is as I assue it is, then, can the rudder (persumably the right hand joystick with left/right motion) also be converted to racheted action?

Thanks in advance.

Sandy

Hi Sandy

Here is a link to the parts available for the Planet T5. The link is to Cornwall model boats site but I'm sure other outlets will be able to supply as well.

I'm guessing it was you I spoke with at Rouken Glen this afternoon? If it was, hope to catch up again at some point. Feel free to PM if you need more info about the T5. I'm delighted with mine!  :-))
