Just a quickie conversion using Phil's latest board.

Tx case and hardware were in reasonable condition and responded well to half an hour in the dishwasher!!

Conversion was very simple with new wiring used for 2S Lipo and LemonRx DIY module/mounting kit/antenna mount.

I measured carefully and drilled two 3 mm holes for the encoder LEDs through the black portions of the original RCS badge, which detached itself and the old epoxy was cleaned off and new EvoStick contact adhesive used to refix in place!

Thought about using original twig and stripped down aerial but having the LemonRx antenna mounts to hand, I chose to use onE of these instead.

Nice li'l project, thanks Phil for the emulation encoders!

Nice work Stuart - that's going to be my next 27mhz to 2.4ghz conversion as my flying pal Derek donated an RCS Guidance system transmitter last year, along with a box of escapements and other bits and pieces.
