An early CitizenShip 5 channel analogue TX converted to 2.4ghz

Some pics of my converted CitizenShip set. Most were posted on previous forum, but original description has been lost - so just some brief comments (from memory).
original internals:
case cleaned, holes drilled for bind board and switches. Ready for conversion:
Phil's encoder mounted:
converted internals - original pcb cut down and used to brace stick units, Fsky module used:
The originals sticks were fairly agricultural:
however better sticks were available as aftermarket upgrades for the CitizenShip sets at the time - I found some OS sticks that were similar to the upgrades and cut a thread on these to fit the gimbals:
top view showing the bind board and additional toggles for on/off functions using 'period' switches (the set is now the full 7 channels):
Finished TX - note the single channel button on the top right. This is a micro switch with a great 'feel' that I have been saving for a project like this.
Again, I need to thank Phil for his great encoder!
