My aileron pot on my Futaba transmitter is worn out. Can anybody tell me where to find some as replacements? The Futaba site wasn't encouraging.
Thanks, fish

if it's an older radio it probably has noble brand pots with shaft dimensions made specifically for futaba. maybe someone like radio south would have them.

the 14MZ and perhaps some of the other newer radios look like they use these: http://www.murata.com/catalog/r50/el0595.pdf that are availiable from digikey for a bit over $1 each

In the past, I look for used TX's at swap meets similar to what I have. They are cheap, plus you get two. Just be sure they work smooth with no slop.

For my old style FF7, in the UK they gave me some BS about them not being in stock and needing ordering from Japan with a 6 week delay. However they could repair it almost immediately if I were to pay 'them' to do it and send back the unit to them.

Customer service? :censored:
