6. CONCLUSIONS :
Far from pretending to have found appropriate solutions to the problem
of compatibility for buddy box systems, I hope however that these few notes,
resulting from my experiences, could be useful to you in order to help
beginners of your RC-club, this without too much expenses for instructor or
pupil.
I also hope to obtain from visitors of this
website over the world, in order to complete it and to satisfy your needs.
Greetings from Brussels and good flights,
Olivier
Hereunder an overview table with compatibility between brands and types really tested by readers or by me.
For the compatibility between one brand, there are no problems, EXCEPT Graupner…
