Arne, the Smartieparts board and light are excellent and that is what I have installed. If you are in a hurry, the Hobby King LED backlight and a USB programmer mentioned on the wiki would get you started soon. To clear up the question of which servo is which, take them out of the plane, move the st...

I have attached a 6 position mini-din for the battery charging on the back. I did take pictures and will post when the battery is connected. Since I already installed the SP board and USB, I'll leave it like that, but another mini din would be a good way to handle the programming interface.

Sounds like you have the channels mixed up where they plug into the receiver? Sequence should match the channel order in the mixes.

Yes, I do get the point. OTOH, mine are free.
"I'm so ashamed . . ."

You pays your money and you takes your chances. The cable and connector I cited are full 6 circuits. There is probably some sort of minimum order, of course. Digikey also has the plugs for you to wire up yourself.

kaos, I just obtained the parts to do that. One source is http://www.lcom.com . They make a front mount mini din, MD66FJF. They also make a great cable and if you get a double ended male-male you have two cables for $7US PN CSMD6MM-6. Mouser and Digikey carry less expensive all plastic receptacles. ...

The functions of the mixers described on your web site can all be done in the 9X transmitter. You would use 3-5 channels, one for each ESC and one for the rudder. The rudder would subtract from the corresponding throttle in an amount to be determined by the user for trimming thrust while turning. Th...

<>it,s simpler firmware the at scale boat people are looking for . we do,not use aileron ,flap-ailerons ?? , pitch control , swash control ?? , or hover throttle. What we ( boat people ) are looking for is a basic firmware setup no sub routes programs to Heli , Arco , or Glid. Timo2 it all started ...

I'd try the thrusters on the aileron stick, two ESCs, either the channel inverted or the motor wires reversed. You will want car ESCs so you can get reverse. You can vary the stern/forward thruster percentage to get a smooth lateral move.
You will want to upgrade your firmware soonest.

So, CTS, you are part of the problem!

Or they don't do mixes?

Oh, I did not mean that in any negative way. I'm sure to most of your readers in was new info and a good heads up.

Maiden Fest? Is that like 'The Parade of Virgins'?

TXRNews is just an echo, eh?

There are about lebenty-seven versions of the T-28. It makes a nice airframe because the big nose keeps the speed down.

Ted, Playboy makes your hands shake?

R2hobbies claims to have 9X stock as of now: http://r2hobbies.com/eurgle-2-4ghz-9-channel-digital-programmable-lcd-radio-gear-3rd-generation-1.html $US 83.95 You'll want this one with a sinle RX, not the older one with dual RX.

Maybe it has "R" firmware?

The paint my GMC group recommends for plastic is SEMs, which may be what ShowMaster mentioned. I have used Krylon for Plastics with good results, but have not used on PVC specifically. All plastic things have some parting agent on the surface or even included in the material. This can usually be rem...

Black and tan to him.

The bunch doing tank specific mods is http://www.rctanksaustralia.com, I think.

gohsthb, that worked perfectly. I'll plug it into mine and try it tonight.

I am working on the same challenge. Could I add a percentage of CH6 to Channel3 to get the same thing?

I'll give him one next time I see him.

So where are you? New York? Altitude is MSL in the GPS.

Seems to me that is the expected behavior, no?
