Hi All
I have some more Really Annoying Newbie Type Questions. This time to do with radios and in particular the Spektrum DX.
If/When I buy my Island Hopper, I would want to use my DX7 as the transmitter for it instead of the ESky one that comes with it.
My DX7 came with a AR7000(???) rx unit which is a 7 channel reciever. Is it simply a matter of removing the existing reciever in the Hopper and replacing it with the AR7000, then Binding it to the TX?
I don't want this to be permament arrangement in that I have plans for the AR7000 later on (in a Heli) and would just temporarly use it in the Hopper until I can get a 4 or 5 channel reciever.
Will the lesser channel recievers (AR500 5ch, AR6000 6ch??? I think they are ???) bind to the DX7? If so, can I then "unbind" the AR7000 to use elsewhere?
Finally, is there a cheaper no-name generic cheaper version of the spektrum recievers? or should I just stick with the name brand stuff?
Hope all this makes sense,
Mick
