How rad is this. This ahead-of-its time r/c transmitter was released in 1990. Not only does it still work, it’s still being supported 35 years later. I just installed a new processor to allow it to run an aftermarket fw with more memory! #RadioControl #VintageRCSociety #VintageElectronics

Other-hobby cross posting: I was recently gifted this beautiful Controlaire Galloping Ghost R/C transmitter c.1965, saved from the trash! Tonight I finished converting it to work with modern (reliable) equipment. ❤️❤️ #VintageRC #RadioControl

Oh heckin' heck, why are RC Tranmitters $300?!?

It's an MCU, radio, and a cheap LCD, people! What the what!? XD

DSM? More like Don't Spend Money! XD

RC Airplanes are a wonderful and relaxing (depending on your craft, lol) hobby.
And it's also quite affordable with ready-to-go starter kits for just over $100.

But if you want to join an RC club to get access to an actual flying field, you have to shell out $50-$85 per year for the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) membership in the US, and an additional $100 per year for most flying fields.

I mean, if you're serious about your hobby (any hobby), that might indeed be chump-change to you, but it's really not a trivial amount of money at all.

My new #readymaderc STRIX Stratosurfer is built (except for the servo linkages). Matek H743-WLITE running #ardupilot, M9N GPS + compass, airspeed sensor. Thinking I'll add a LIDAR rangefinder to the belly to see if automated landing works. But I'll be flying it mostly in fully manual mode because watching it gently glide across the sky under my control is so satisfying and relaxing. #radiocontrol #radiocontrolplane #rcplane

EdgeTX users: DZARO put together a throttle cut/disarm video for EdgeTX, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61UvKlFOw40 . I have not had a chance to test it with a plane yet, but *radio* testing suggests that it's going to be rock solid.
