Yes that's the one but not the 2005 version, what do you mean by just
changing the receiver as it part of the 4 in 1 or do you mean the crystal in
the receiver ? thanks Rob

My understanding is you cannot use a JR/Futaba/etc transmitter with
the receivers that come with the Esky/Dragonfly/etc.
The receivers that come with the helis usually have speed controller,
and sopmetimes gyro, built in.
To use your JR, you need to replace the receiver in the heli with a
compatable receiver, add a speed controller and a gyro (if the heli
does not already have separate ones)

I am told the Futaba radio is in fact compatible with the Blade four in
one unit.
You need a transmitter that has the CCPM available too.
Check on http://runryder.com under the Blade forum for more info,
actually more than you can imagine,,,,,,,,,,,

That wouldn't be the issue.

This would be true IF the receiver was a PCM system not PPM. If it's PPM,
then the JR (or just about any other) Tx which has CCPM capabilites will do
the job.
