[Wanted. Hitec Aurora9]

Hi Peter

 

Did you get sorted with regards your Aurora 9 Radio set ?

[Barnstormer 72]

Thanks David, I worked it out at 3.5 inches so 4" seems good to me. The model is designed for Rudder only so I think this will be OK

[Barnstormer 72]

Hi guys

This is for anyone who has built a DB Sport and Scale Barnstormer 72. Just looking for an indication as to what the tip dihedral should be ? I propose keeping it simple by keeping it Rudder only.

I suspect around 3.5 " but would like confirmation.

A big shout out to J Perkins Distribution, The issue I had with binding my Aurora 9 has now been resolved thanks to advice and help from their service department, Excellent service. ( I have no connection with this company apart from being a very happy customer)

[Aurora 9]

Thanks Steve, I8 was coming to that conclusion I only used it once and had to store due to Covid, it simply wont bind now. So I reckon it is the Tx or the Module. 

I am going back to 35 mg

[Aurora 9]

Well gentlemen here is an update on the efforts to get my Aurora 9 to bind. I replaced the Rx and the TX battery but still no go, so I am wondering if there is a Service centre where I might send this set to be looked at professionally ?

Looking for a full kit or the plans for the Ben Buckle Majestic Major. many thanks.

[Aurora 9]

Thanks Denis I will keep on trying, Honestly my real problem is, if the RX turns out to be faulty then it became faulty while in storage !!!! My workshop is warm and dry and the radio set was put away in its original insulated carton. When I came to unbox the radio and test it, it did not work so I tried to rebind with no success hence the forum posts.

[Aurora 9]

Hi Denis No I haven't 

[Aurora 9]

This is problem there are no lights what's so ever. If I plug the Bat into the other sockets then the LED lights up Red but when into the Bat socket there are no lights neither Blue or Red, what's concerning me is the fact the system was used once then I had to put back into original box for storage. the Rx is the Optima 7.

[Aurora 9]

Thanks Ken, Mines is the Maxima, I will keep on trying to get the thing to bind, when I stopped using it approx a year ago it was fine but now there is no life.

[Aurora 9]

Again thanks chaps will try again in the morning 

 

[Aurora 9]

Thanks Outrunner could you advise further on your suggestion ? Not to sure on Minima / Maxima 

[Aurora 9]

Thanks for advice guys, but still no go, I accidently plugged the RX bat  into the wrong socket and LED came on Red so that's working ! Looks like a new RX required.

[Aurora 9]

Will do Ken thanks It used to bind no problem but will try your suggestion. Ta 

[Aurora 9]

Hi Folks, My Aurora 9 has been in storage for approx one year, and I have used it one once before putting it into storage. However I have come to use it again and it simply wont link up the Tx seems ok and does what it is supposed to, but the Rx has no life I am using fully charged batteries and again I am following the instructions but still no go, any ideas on what might be wrong would be gratefully received. 

[Solarfilm]

Hi Guys I am sure this has been discussed, but according to the web, Solarfilm are still in business ! Can anyone advise if this is the case.

[Ben Buckle]

Thanks David, I wish him all the very best.

[Ben Buckle]

Hi Folks, can anyone advise me if Ben Buckle kits are still in production, trying to place an order but cannot get through.

[Heat shrink covering]

Hi folks. I guess this topic has been done to desth but with the demise of Solarfilm/ Solartex can anyone suggest and alternative sopplier.

[Cremation, or Composting ?]

We could send our old models to China or India, thereby increasing their major contribution to climate change, mind you they spew out so much crap I guess a few bits of balsa will make no difference.

[Fuel Agitation]

i would like to try this Robert, are they generaly available ?

[Firefly 46]

Kevin, Did you get the plans ?
