4G6 picture1 (67kB)
4G6 picture2 (90kB) purchased June 2010 in used condition (needing some repairs)

modifications ("spectrumization"):
receiver: stripped-down Spektrum AR6100, 6 channels, 2.4 GHz DSM2
    removing the original servo connectors halves the weight of the receiver
    according to some websites, the electrolytic capacitor could also be removed (I didn't...)
    soldering the Walkera servo-plugs to the AR6100 was very tricky, I would not recommend this.
    better connect the wires directly, or use an AR6300 (comes already with small plugs)
I recycled the original gyro:
    the Walkera RX2609 brick consists of two boards, the receiver and the gyro.
    connected with 7 soldering points, they can easily separate.
    The receiver can also be recycled, and modified further to use all 6 channels, see Rob's hangar
    Here is a picture of my AR6100 with mounted gyro, and labeled pinouts: RX2609Gyro_on_stripped_AR6100
voltage booster: LVBoost
    converts the 3.x V of the 1S Lipo to constant 5 V to avoid dropouts of the AR6100.
