suggestions for upgrading controlschanging my tugboat from electrically driven to steam requires a new controller at the moment i have a futuba T2ER Transmitter,transmitting to a Futaba R152JE 2 channel reciever. this is operating a Futaba 3001 which is connected to the rudder and a digifleet FPS 230B which controls speed through an Electric Motor. I now dont need a speed controller but instead need something to control the steam regulator valve between macsteam boiler and saito engine and something else to operate direction of engine rotation. Can u have three channels on one transmitter? What devices do i need for the other two functions? As always i'm looking for your guidance |
