Exchanged characters was a warning that came out years ago where one from a foreign character set, like Cyrillic, was substituted that looks almost like a Roman one but leads you off in the wrong direction.

Simon, Before you decide I should mention that it does not appear to have any control input. It just plugs into a 5 to 7.4V supply and continuously fires off various length bursts of machine-gun bursts. You would need to control on/off function through a receiver relay/switch. It's seems very loud in the workshop.

The trick is to float the mouse cursor over any link that appears in an email and see the actual undisguised link, most email clients and browsers will show this on a PC. If it looks nothing like the company's address don't click on it.

Simon, To you, £5 posted. Cheers, Andy.

It's likely that even if you point the antenna directly at a distant model, the Tx signal will be reflected off any metallic object in the vicinity which will reach the receiver by a different route. Also, the radiation pattern from a single Tx antenna isn't textbook perfect and there will be odd lobes of radiation coming off in different directions. Another thing to consider is that 2.4GHz receivers are far more sensitive than the old MHz ones. All this adds up to make the link as solid as it can be or should be, barring any other technical shortcomings.

FIFY

Also don't run the antenna wire in close parallel to other wires.

Or you could just use a brand that doesn't need satellite receivers.

There are after market receivers made to be compatible with certain popular makes of radio. FRSky are particularly regarded in this. They also manufacture their own full systems to their own protocols.

The TFR6 is a Fasst receiver so any Fasst Transmitter will work with it even if it doesn't have all 7 channels.

I use the FRSky TFR6 which is actually a 7 channel receiver. They are bulletproof. I have used them in models of all sizes.

SMC fuel seems a much more sensible price... https://www.southernmodelcraft.co.uk/fuel-prices.php

Jonathan, I run my 2stroke engines on Laser standard 5% or Opti 5%. Now Southern Modelcraft is under new management I mean to give their fuels a try.

My first properly successful multi channel model was a DB Tinker powered by a Webra 1.5cc Diesel. It was so under powered and flew so slowly that I managed to teach myself to fly completely unaided. That's Boddo's magic. I had the pleasure of introducing him at a talk he gave at a meeting of our club a few years ago.
