Not sure about spextrum but I FRsky there is...Besides I don't know of any Spextrum receivers that are smaller than the ones I showed you.

Used to be modules that plugged into the trainer cord socket. Have one that is universal for my futaba stuff to whatever you got from the online ARTF airplane places. If you want super tiny and really light there's silicone chips that are reciever and decoder all in a memory chip size. They be somewhat pricey and need to be wired up.

I didn’t know that people still used Futaba….but makes sense and yes I am looking at some extremely tiny rc radio and receiver sets but they are a bit expensive coming in at 100-120 dollars.

My Kraft stuff is 60+ years old, the futaba stuff is generally 45, the newest one is 35. The aircraft the radio stuff is installed in is maybe 30 years, except for the .050 gasser trainer with an unknown assembly date (got that in an estate sale). Futaba at the time was modified Japanese military design equipment sold to the public. Nice thing about futaba: 50 years later, it still interchanges with new non computer formats and you can still buy new factory replacement parts.
Not seeing much of a reason to buy new radio stuff. If someone gave me a brand new system, I would use it, but I have no desire to buy new.

Makes sense but some of the futaba radios are overpriced in my opinion. Like take a look at the newest model which Is I think 3500 dollars or sm.

It's only because radiomaster uses a open source software and can afford to make their radios super cheap....anyways compared to other ones! LOL

That makes sense....radiomaster uses edge tx so that makes sense...and also how does one know that they have enough switches on thier radio ?

But im planning on adding a lot of stuff to my planes in the future that will require a lot of servos how do I know if I have enough channels or even switches on my radios for all those functions ?

Oh sorry, I misunderstood you....So you just count how many channels those applications will take and then make sure you radio has enough aux channels and switches and there you go!

If you have more switches than you can think of doing things with, you have enough switches. My limit is 8
Zoom Master

Well let's see 1 switch for the landing gear another switch can be for brakes and one switch for maybe lights or flaps and...........yeah thats about all the uses I can really think of. So I guess I only need like 4 switches👌

Why would I need that ?
