Somewhere around here I have an old transmitter that I dismantled for
parts. I'll see if I can run across it while digging around tomorrow.

If all else fails, Super 8's are getting cheap now that the 9C is common
;)

My problem, however, has to do with stuffing servos, receivers, and
batteries into tiny airframes. Trying to put a real radio in a Firebird
II right now. The hard part is finding a speed control that will work
with a 5 cell pack. Already have a pair of HS-55s and a GWS receiver
stuffed in there. There's something wrong about a $300 transmitter and
$100 flight setup in a $75 airplane...
