Does the transmitter have another identical working pot? You could use an ohmmeter on the working pot. If the pot you are replacing still basically works, but is unreliable to adjust because of dirt or corrosion, you could still probably turn it while measuring the resistance and get pretty close.

cheap and easy solutin would be to find/bought another 7C and use for partz

I was with Futaba for a couple of years and we were very generous with schematics and parts. Have you tried contacting them at customer service?

ok people

i followed the old school...unmounted carefully all and measured with a tester

1K ohm for each channel on the sticks

thanks for your suggestions

Nice work! You may want to make sure it is a linear pot, and not logarithmic. You could measure at 4 equally spaced positions to see. I am guessing linear, but you might just double check.
