Default DIY 14MZ Screen Stylus

SCREEN TOOL

Guys,

This was posted somewhere when the radio first came out, and a lot of us are using it. It works better than the included stylus, actually takes less pressure. Plus it fits on the radio handle.

Take one of those nifty plastic futaba screwdrivers. They come with all kinds of products, or they are available seperately from Tower for around 3 bucks.

Cut off the last section that is the flathead screwdriver part. Slide a piece of glow fuel tubing over the end that extends about 1/4 inch past the end. Snap onto the transmitter handle. It is there when you need it.

Dude, you should be a gagillionare by now, everything is your idea!

I had one of these before you even had your radio, it was originally posted on a heli site somewhere.
