Custom made gates for the Futaba FF6
I orignally used a Sky Sports 4 for my trucks. I have since bought the Field Force 6. The gates I used on the SS4 did not fit on the FF6 so I decided to make my own! These have been CNC'd and are just push fitted into the recess. So I can just pop them out when needed, but they will not just fallout! They have been made from polycarb, so the are very robust.
I have now got these parts for sale, look in my trade room!

Nicely done, Excellent idea! I used very thin double-sided tape to attach my GPM gate onto my 4VWD TX for my own truck which holds excellently with no detectable problems. I have 2 questions please ;- How do you operate the 'special' functions on the MFU with this FF6X TX?! - You need fully mechanical trims for this surely? not 'digital' trims which I thought the T6X had?, and secondly, what brand/model of CAD program and what brand/model/type of machinery did you use to CNC the material with? You have done a VERY nice job there matey! Looks Great! Cheers, Alistair G.

The T6X still has the mechanical trims and works a treat! The Program I use for CAD is called Vector XT and I use OneCNC for generating the machinery code! The CNC mill I have is a Tryax YCM40. I have added a pic of the mill.
