Its such a long time I had to prove it to myself by finding the RS invoice for the case (583-094) bought in 2012! The idea was that a really small 2 channel set would be great for slope soaring, but then theres always been something else to do. So I decided to finish it at last!
Its a 2+1, propo rudder & elevator, digital trims plus sequential throttle, and has two elevon mixer options, channels 5 & 6 are permanent elevon channels, so in a flying wing I'd use channels 5 & 6 and in a rudder-elevator glider 1 & 2. Theres also a link option for elevon on ch1 & 2 just in case its only a 4ch receiver.
Inside its really cramped, as the stick unit takes up most of the space. It uses a Frsky DHT (without the bind board), a DigiSpark and a PP3 2S lithium. The size is somewhere between the Micro-2 and the Horizon 2, but it should be more 'flyable' than the Micro-2 as it has a proper Futaba stick unit. Its unflown as yet but I'm sure it will be fine, there's nothing new in it
It does need a badge!Gratutious butt shot...
Here are some pics of the case preparation, dated November 2012!
The round hole was cut with a stationery compass used backwards as a scraper (Neil's idea!)
which took a while but gave a very neat hole:
Now somewhere, if I can't find it, I have an Alula kit...

Edit - September 2024: after five years of reliable service this transmitter suddenly had no range after a period of storage - it transpired that the DFT module had failed - my second DFT failure (in 15 years). It chose to fail for my 2024 Ivinghoe holiday which was a tad inconvenient!
Back home, it was replaced with one from my new-old-stock stash and all is well again
