Title: Robbe Futaba F-14 Accessories (8344)
Post by: tjones27 on November 26, 2010, 11:49:19 am
Hi,
    has anybody used this accessorie for the F-14, i got one off ebay for 1Euro thinking its a bit of a bargain. so i got it not really knowing what it was, only that it was a three position stick swtich. after paying for it i realise dthat i had got myself a pretty awesome deal as they retail at around 40-50 Euros. but has anyone ever looked at getting one? or installed one into their controller??
here is a link to a good website to see what the package holds and what it looks like. i was thinking of using it to control a crane.

Cheers.

Good little gadget, I have used them to control a bow thruster on my rudder stick.

oh good. how good are they, value for money? are they easy to install. im guessing after wiring it all through the stick you just plug it into channel five or which ever??

They work very well, but fitting is an "art"  :-))
