I had the back off recently to clean, lubricate and adjust the throttle stick quadrant. I took the opportunity to check the battery wiring at the time, and thankfully no sign of any corrosion. It didn’t have heavy use during its time before being usurped by the DX8 (which has held up well over 10 years of much more intensive use), so the only thing that probably could do with changing is the battery which was flat when I dug the Tx out from its slumbers recently. Looking at recently sold PCM9Xs on eBay I might be lucky to get £40 - £50 at most, so it’s probably more valuable to me as a conversion to 2.4G multi-protocol - as I said in my OP, to use instead of a horrible little Jumper T8SG.

So Brian, presumably you’re talking about the different iRangeX units. The IRX4 relying on a Tx with OpenTX (as it has no switches), so no good to me: ' And the IRX4 Plus having switches, so presumably would work (and be compatible) with my PCM9X:

Yes that’s my feeling too. Although I no longer use it, my 9X seems too good to get rid of, which is why I hit on the idea of extending its life by going 2.4GHz with it.

I guess like most RC flyers I moved most of my models from 35MHz to 2.4GHz (Spektrum DX8 G1) around 10 years ago. However I still have a perfectly serviceable JR PCM9X 35MHz transmitter which I was on the verge of putting on eBay, when it occurred to me that maybe it could be used with one of those multi-protocol 2.4GHz plug in Tx modules to fly a couple of different indoor drones I have, instead of using the cheap & nasty Jumper Tx I currently use. My question is, can you use a PCM9X with any of the iRangeX IRX multi-protocol modules, and indeed are they compatible? The compatibility list on Banggood for the IRX4 lists various FrSky, Futaba, FlySky and Turnigy transmitters as being compatible, but no mention of JR/McGregor. Also I see that FrSky have the XJT module, which I believe is compatible with the PCM9X, but (I think) only transmits in their own protocol. Anyone have any guidance on this please?

Anyone got a spare £654,000 and fancy a Concorde engine?

My initial problem was that because F360 works in an entirely different way to Tinkercad, with initially flat sketches, I didn't even know how to start a design. So even if I forget the details of how to go about doing something more complicated (and being in my late 60s I probably will!), at least if I've seen the videos I should later have some recall that something is possible, even if I have to search back through the videos to find it.

Seems to me though that unless you’ve effectively ‘done the course’ with the videos, if like me you’ve never used Fusion 360 before, (as someone once said) you don’t know what you don’t know.

I'm right behind you, just completed day 3! Finding it all a bit of an uphill battle after learning the much simpler Tinkercad a couple of years ago.

I'd join up the two black stripes underneath the wings to make them into one wide strip at least three times as wide as currently shown. This would make them noticeable from a greater distance, and very obviously different from the markings on the top.

…along with “Your call is important to us.”. While you sit hanging on the phone for 40 minutes 😠.

Certainly true of lead acid batteries in cars in my experience. A battery in a car used every day will usually outlive one in a car only used occasionally.

Martin Lewis on his TV show last night confirmed that there has been no change to taxes regarding eBay or similar online sales.

They must have switched it off and on again!

If you’re out of here, how will you know when it’s resolved? 🤔

I suppose the Post Office would say you’re the only one having this problem.

I bought a couple of Zeee 3700mAh 60C 4Ss last year which seem pretty good. However I also bought a couple of Zeees marked as 3200mAh 50C 3S, and have been very disappointed with their effective capacity, which seems nearer to around 2800mAh - put it this way, they didn’t give as long a flight time as my well used Turnigy 3000mAh 25-50C 3Ss in the same model - so somewhat optimistically marked perhaps.

What he said. But if using ammo boxes (like I also do), don’t forget to remove the lid seal, so won’t explode if there is a fire.

Actually there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It’s the law of diminishing returns with hi-fi. The difference between a £250 turntable and a £500 turntable will be audible, however the differences between one at £25000 one and one costing £50000 probably less so.

Linn prices have always been extortionate. I see nothing's changed 😲!
