Here is a little project I have been working on, I decided to take the board out of one of my spare V262 quad transmitters and rehouse it in a custom case. It is balsa and ply, I dont know whether it looks better with the chrome stick surrounds or without them, I may paint them black and see how it looks.
I have a few spare transmitters now, and bodyshells, which I thought about selling, but it would cost the same to post (£12) as it did to buy the whole quadcopter, delivered.
I am quite happy with how the transmitter case turned out. Its really slimline and slighly narrower. Still got a few bits to do. Probably varnish it. I repositioned swithes onto the back of it which feels really natural and doesnt affect what you are doing with the sticks, I also ditched the board of 5 leds as the screen comes on when you switch on, dont need leds. Also changed to lipo power, the display shows a 1 bar drop on the scale. Something a bit different that I haven't done before. Wheres my sanwa conquest sets? Lol. They have a good coating of castor oil and balsa dust. Plenty of hours flying with them, it was good radio, their downfall was they picked a different servo pin layout from futaba. I swapped pins over on servos but most fliers I knew stuck to futaba and nothing else.
