OK, this is going to be my first posted Instructable :D so go easy on me. I recently went to Washington and I received several RC related components including 3 transmitters and one receiver out of a few old toy airplanes. Anyway I decided to take one of the transmitters and make it one- smaller, and two- better looking/ working. My goal with this is to make a system capable of being easily transported and set up and that is small and lightweight. I would be able to use said system in a small gym or medium sized room, possibly outdoors or at school. If you have any questions at all about this, please ask them and I will do my best to answer them. Also any input on making this project and Instructable better would be greatly appreciated. This Instructable assumes that you wont mind if any thing happens to the transmitter. Also this Instructable will probably work best on a cheapo 10-30$ system because they use a minimum amount of components and are therefore have smaller circuit boards. Keep in mind that this will be different for everyone as there are many different systems available all over the world. Before you start read through the entire Instructable to fully understand what is going on.
PS. I don't and wont assume any responsibility for any thing you do to yourself or your project.

OK, You are going to need several components and tools to get started
Tools
Pliers
Wire snips
Dremel (with cutting and grinding attachments)
Several types of screw drivers- to take apart transmitter
Drill bits
Exacto Knife
Third Hand Tool
Soldering Iron
Solder
Scissors
Sharpie/ writing utensil
Hot glue gun + glue
Materials
Phone Battery (one you don't mind destroying)/ Li-Po (one cell)
Switches (I used a rocker switch from a camcorder and two push button switches)
Wire- should be fairly thin and flexible
Magnet wire or other really thin wire
Heat Shrink Tubing -not required but certainly useful
Duct Tape
Connector from Computer board (two connections) - Both Male & Female parts
The most important part... Altoids Tin!!!! (looks better if you can find one with a flat smooth top)
Spray paint for metal
And That's It. If you use something not pictured or written above please tell me so that I can add it.
