Hi,

I haven't been able to find this info on any of the FAQs that I've
read so I appreciate your help here.  When I build a plane and install
the servos, how do I match the frequency of the servo to that of my
handheld RC controller unit?

Do I have to purchase servos that match the frequency of the hand
controller?

Can I change the frequency of the servos?

Can I change the frequency of the handheld controller?

Thanks in advance for your help!

No need to double-post your queries.

See the other thread.

Normally, you buy a radio SET, including a transmitter (handheld
unit), a receiver (goes in the plane), and servos. The transmitter and
receiver are on the same frequency. The servos do not have any
frequency in this sense. They will work with any frequency receiver.

No, you have to purchase a RECEIVER that matches the frequency of the
transmitter.

> Can I change the frequency of the servos?

No, you don't need to change the frequency of servos.

You can change the frequency of the receiver, though.

> Can I change the frequency of the handheld controller?

Not in the USA, unless it has a removable frequency module. If it just
has a crystal, then you need to send it to a service center to have
the frequency changed.

No problem.
