Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] M2 RC2800PX modification to control a Prop
Pitch Rotor?
Steve,
Thanks for your response. I am not planning on buying them but sitting with 3
controllers, so I thought I could at the least recover some use out of them.
I agree, the Green Heron controllers are nice, but fairly expensive for just a
controller in my opinion. They are, however, plan B if all fails.

## want some advice ? sell the 3 m2 control boxes, they are a pita.
## I have the GH control box for my k7nv prop pitch. It looks like a
regular GH control box, but inside its not the same. The normal, standard
Gh box provides for several ac + dc voltages. The Gh box for the PP
rotors has only one dc voltage..and a big xfmr. it’s designed for the PP
only.
## You can also get a modified version of the GH....where the GH box resides
in the shack, and the power supply sits in a nema box at base of tower, to
eliminate
V drops on long runs.
## I also own two M2 OR-2800 rotors + mating M2 control boxes.... never
again.
## The GH box made for the prop pitch is the best controller bar none. Simple,
bomb
proof, easy set up, point and shoot etc. The M2 control box is a convoluted
mess
in comparison.
## yes, its expensive... but at least it’s the real deal. The m2 box is a
sick puppy.
later... Jim VE7RF
