My own thoughts are the Taranis 9+ can be updated only with FrSky firmware ? It's the external module I thought could be updated with the MPM firmware. But re-reading it is a Frsky XJT module so possibly not - don't know. ? Even so the module could be updated to contain the FrSky X2 (D16) protocol to cover the R9 mini. Leave the internal protocols on the Tx as is. If updating to the EU/LBT version this may not have the D8 protocol as it is not LBT as far as I understand. ?

Is there some reason the external MPM module can't be updated to the latest version ? (or is it limited to just FrSky firmware ? ) The latest MPM update will give FrSky X2 (D16) which should cover the R6 mini. (as well as D8 etc.) https://www.multi-module.org/using-the-module/protocol-details

P.S. Unfortunately the "UNIVERSAL" on the T9 website = FCC version and not the "UNI" firmware of Mike Blandford.

Just a thought - some receivers have trouble binding if the Tx is close. Might be worth a try moving the Tx a few feet away when binding. Is there a possibility of an FCC/EU-LBT issue. ? I would presume the Rx, if new, would normally be a V2 / LBT version. And usually there is a label on the box showing this.

I'm not sure this is classed as funny ?

Ditto. Intermediate mode and just pull up for a loop. Not managed a roll yet. Haven't got the equivalent for the acrobatic button on my TX16s. Now on my second T26 Trojan. Lost the first one when I flew across the sun. Never saw it again. I fly Mode 1 and just can't use the included transmitter.

A few of similar planes in our club but no one has managed to fly in expert mode. Generally all fly in intermediate mode. I have set up some very small rates om my TX16S but not had chance to try them out yet.

Have you tried a bit of toe-in on the undercarriage ?

I've had a Radiomaster TX16S Mk1 for a couple or 3 years now. Not had any problem with it at all. It certainly needs a bit of use of the little grey cells to work through its functions but there are numerous YouTube videos on the how-to. The 4 in 1 module (MPM - multie protocol module) is the one to go for if you want to keep your Spectrum dsm/etc receivers. Also will operate a varied number of other makes. Stay away from the Radiomaster standard receivers as they have a mixed history ?

If you want to use your existing receivers will the newer Tx's be compatible ?

Always taken the Tx with me. Not been a rule in our club AFAIK. 27/35 MHz days would normally have pushed the aerial down anyway. Sometimes used the Tx to locate a hidden model in the jungle surrounding the strip, by operating the controls and listening for servo movement.

You can use any battery as long it is the correct voltage.

Have you tried a different plug. My situation the engine would run with the glow connected but not without at idle.

Over 40 years ago since first going up Parlick. These hills have certainly got a lot steeper since then. 3893146a-8013-402c-9f09-90125be04c61.mp4

Did a bit of flat field bungee launches (Monterey) before a couple of friends took me up to the hills. Ideal way of an introduction into RC flying. They advised me on which would be a good model to start with. (Dave Hughes Soarcerer) Hours of learning the basics, orientation, aerobatics etc. The only problem was landing on a 45 degree rough slope. Plenty of lead taped on if the wind was a bit brisk. Never been afraid of dead-stick landings given enough height 😉

An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?" "Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly. "Okay," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?" The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don't know poo ?" And then she went back to reading her book.

I used this video to help set up my S8R. Not flown it yet (circumstances) but does everything I expect on the bench.:- Other stabiliser options = RadioLink 'Byme A' :- And the FMS @Reflex' :-

Running a bit rich ?

About time this annoying problem was fixed.

Does anyone know how to access the rudder servo of the Arrows 1100mm P51 mustang. Not happy with the action on mine. It has unequal movements each way plus not enough movement overall. Any help appreciated.

Futaba Challenger with Frsky DHT module. ( Now been superseded with the XHT module which will do both D8 / D16 protocols. ) https://www.t9hobbysport.com/rc-gear/frsky-tx-modules Made so it just plugs in allowing the original 35Mhz board to be easily re-instated if required.

Started my apprenticeship at WGC in 1962 (ICI training school on Tewin road) at about £4 / wk. Those were the days when a farthing was still legal tender. Regarding suction a vacuum cleaner can be used for pulling on a "vac bag". No idea by how much though. I did once use an old fridge compressor as a vacuum pump but gone to the dump a long time ago.

I have a Fbook friend asking me, again, to be his friend. I presumed that he had lost the contact? Next thing I received a PM asking how I was doing and I asked him how he is? etc. After answering him I got another message:- Him - Am doing pretty good as well hear to nothing to complain life is Good. i saw your name on PCH list,Have you heard about them? Me -Not heard of them. Him - Publish Clearing House SWEEPSTAKES (PCH) is giving to all People to take care of kids ,buy houses, retired, unemployment pay rents to Maintain the standard of living did you hear from them yet? Me - No! Probably a scam. Him - They compensate me with some cash when i applied for it and it's not refundable,I think you should contact the agent that is in charge. so you could claim yours. Did you no how to apply for the program? Now definitely a scam. Blocked. I rang him later and he confirmed he had shut his Facebook after other people had warned him. Turns out his page has been hacked.

Just another thought - don't have the TX and Rx too close together when binding.
