It's nice that they kept the Chinese ad copy.

The only way it seems to matter is if you are importing someone else's eepe files?

Very nifty; now about the landing gear switch

You're right, I need a lighter handle. Here's one:

TH9xer, couldn't you just use two, one static port and one ram air, then do the math in the processor? The static port would also give pressure altitude, eh?

Anxiously awaiting. I've ordered a 9X from R2hobbies just for this project.

No antenna? And why do the selection buttons overlap the screen? Only in the marketing department . . .
"keep moving, nothing to see here"

This is such a group, the inspiration of ideas is amazing. Here is my latest safety device. Notice that gravity will return the throttle to zero if you should pass out from opening too many beers.

Gregg, with regard to the FCC standards . . . I've never been involved in FCC testing, but we have done CE self certs. I'm thinking, as long as the RF module is unmodified and has a sticker, you are probably in the clear.

See, you guys can be creative, too.

Be sure you pick the control order as your first step. The TREA thingy . . .

Pat, That at ~$200 sounds reasonable then.

Most planes I've flow have a wheel on the landing gear lever, so here is one from a scrap Hot Wheels car.
Makes it very easy to find the switch.

JMF, the usual trouble with electronic equipment is the mechanical bits - pots, wires, switches, and soldering, so the inspection should be visual, assisted by magnification. Screws and switch holding rings should be snug. The surface mount components should be inspected to make sure they are all th...

Yes, the JR XP9303 is nice but is it really 5 times better than the 9X at about $600? That is what it takes, though, to beat the FlySky system. For $100-$200 you could have an experienced technician QC the 9X, add all the mods and flash the latest FW, and still have enough money left to buy the fine...

You may not understand the tradeoff here. The quality issue revolves around labor costs, once the design is done. If you want a high quality, low cost radio you will have to include some free labor. Yours. In the USA the burden rate of an electronics technician will approach $100 an hour. It is sort...

JEANALTAYR, at what point does it cease to be a radio controlled airplane and become an autonomous robot?

Unless you have upgraded to er9x firmware you are stuck with the original voltage reading.

Please don't take this as cruel, but have you read the er9x manual section on switches? It helped me . . .
Once you find it on the wiki, download it as a pdf
ofs = offset, btw

Just found this site with interesting capacity tests and size measurements. My trustfire cells just fit with packing tape but not with heat shrink, so maybe a smaller diameter would help?

I appreciate the improved manual and have a paper copy as well as the pdf files now. I like the idea of your added tier to the supply chain of the radio system. I would hope that when you open the case to upgrade the firmware that you are also taking a good, hard look at the details of the soldering...

I did get the three position flaps to work with the stock FW while waiting for the SB, but I do not remember how. It does help to know it is possible, eh?

SM, we can just add that to the forum signature.

The RF module is working okay if you can bind them. So the PPM signal gets to the trainer port but not the RF module? How does PPM get from the board to the RF section? That is where the break would be, no?

yabbut, schlie, in real flight you are constantly adjusting trim as you go through flight phases: takeoff, climb, cruise, fuel burn, ordinance release, landing, gear, flaps extended, etc., this creates hands off or control effort = zero for ease of flying. I never feel the urge to do that trimming i...

Seems like no one responded? First you need a bmp file for your image. It can start out any forma, size, and resolution but to burn it you need it to end up as a .bmp file, monochrome, 64 x 128 pixels. MS Paint does a fair job of getting to that point, but you'll need to do a lot of single pixel cli...

Maybe you could call it eerpe.
"You're excused"

I thought the Phoenix dongle was encoded to prevent copying?

WRT Back3, if she is supposed to be an "X" shouldn't her hands be raised and fingers interlaced behind her head?
