    I thought it might be helpful to folks who are not especially familiar with the Futaba 14SG transmitter and the R7008SB receiver, if there were a really detailed, step-by-step, guide to how to install the radio control system on the ALTA 6 and 8.

    The document is 51 pages long, just to give you some idea of the level of detail in it -- and the topic outline is shown below. EDIT: The file size is about 15 megabytes because of all the screen shots and images, so it may take a few minutes for the document to arrive in your email inbox.

    You can find the tutorial at http://rathergoodguides.com/tutorials.html

    It's available for free, but you can also set your own price if you feel that it has value for you -- I'm producing these only as a volunteer.

    Please let me know if you find the guide helpful -- but especially let me know if it is not helpful or there are errors of commission or omission in it.

    Can you PM me (on this forum), your email address Jason and I'll email it to you directly. The file is 14.5 MB. If need be, I'll email back a link to the file in my Dropbox account so it won't go through the email system at all.

    Hey Jason, no need to PM. I can see your request to my server and it has your email address. What I don't know is why my server didn't respond. There's no trace of it having sent the email with the document.

    Thanks Jason. Does that update invalidate the instructions in the RGG, or are you just referring to where I mention the version of the software?
    (I'm still having an argument with my Mac Server....)

    OK. I'll change it up as soon as I can figure out what's broken on my Mac Mini server.....I think I've been "Mac OS upgraded" to a standstill. Sigh. I hate it when that happens.

    Cheers
