Hello.
I've recently bought a Phantom 2 and am starting to make some major upgrades. I'm trying to figure out the best Futaba Controler and Receiver that will both not break my budget but give me a decent upgrade in range/usability. I've been reading the forum quite a bit but a lot of stuff is very technical in nature and I'm unsure what do to next.
Questions -
1. What is the best budget receiver / controller that will work with Phantom 2 - I'm intending to upgrade the receiving in the Quad itself and then pair it with the controller. If someone can give me the model numbers I can then look to buy online or used.
I was thinking something like this (Futaba T7c 2.4 Ghz Fasst Transmitter With 2 Receivers R617FS):

2. Are there any easy to follow instructions on how to install the Futaba receiver? I've seen some posts but they're pretty hard to follow for the novice and often are for the Phantom 1. All I'm looking for is simple instructions on how to plug in the receiver with the Phantom 2 (where it goes) and do I need to buy extra wires to do this work? I really have no idea.
3. Are there any setup specs for the Futaba controller I should be aware of? I saw some posts with pages of setup specs. I'm really looking for something simple to understand.
So far I have the Phantom 2, FatShark Goggles, 5.4 ghz 600mhw transmitter, and I also bought the custom cables from First Person View UK.
Thank you - I really appreciate any help, I know I'm a novice but trying to learn!
