How does the chair work, does it use a trainer cord like the buddy box?
The chair is basically identical in function to the transmitter box. In my original Heli-Chair, I salvaged the potentiometers from the transmitter and used them for the mechanisms on the chair. They lasted many many years. However, when I stepped up to a Bergen Gasser with video equipment and such, it merited some nicer parts. Basically what I do is take apart the radio and intercept the signals from inside of it with signals from the chair. I do NOT use the buddy box plug because it is not a very good plug and not reliable. I wouldn’t trust $,$$$ to that plug coming loose. All of my wiring is aircraft grade and the connectors are very very reliable. I wired the transmitter so that when it is not in use with the Heli-Chair, it will ‘plug into itself’. It doesn’t appear the same as it did before, but it works just identical to any other radio. When it comes time to fly the Heli-Chair, I unplug the transmitter’s two mating plugs and one of them then connects to the chair to provide power
