Important Note:

If your radio is not listed the PCTx may still work however it is not tested by Endurance R/C. If your transmitter has a trainer port and can accept a PPM signal then the PCTx should be compatible. However due to the number of different buddy port protocols appearing on the market today we cannot guarantee compatibility with all radios. Please be sure to check your radio's manual before ordering to determine if your radio can accept a PPM pulse.
