Hi, I havent personally had any issues.. I've seen a few US focused sites that seem to mention the same one or two brands, Guardian?, eagle tree or is that Tonic water could be good/better dont seem to get much of a mention over here.. I've heard of issues when they are placed in similar models having been removed from a FMS, ie take one from the 1100mm Typhoon and stick in a durafly 1200mm spitfire, "must be the same". Others try and reprogram leading to the lawn dart effect. FMS are happy to pre-install them and most people seem very happy with FMS products. As said I have this setup in the 1400mm Zero, 1100mmTyphoon a with Reflex2 and the other with aftersales V3 which can be used in specified non FMS models and a "other" setting to use it in anything but you have to set it up like any other aftermarket gyro,

Personally never had an issue with them. Mainly using Spektrum and the Lemon 7 channel non gyro in these gyro pre installed models FMS Zero 1400mm, FMS 1100mm Typhoon and a Arrows 50mm Viper EDF, would have used a AR420 but added a rudder so now 4 channels and Arrows installed "Vector" gyro so needed 5 plus for gyro control, AR620 has the same value as my Aliexpress Viper so lemon got the nod

FMS 6 channel models (1400mm Zero etc) with reflex i use a second gen 7 channel Lemon non gyro RX, works perfectly and gives you the equiv of AS3X, Safe and OFF. Reflex V2 is factory set for a particular model and thats it. The new V3 can be set for a huge number of FMS and other indicated brand models and "other" setting for any model you care to put it in. I also use the AR620, 630 etc. Lemon RX https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134582904339?_skw=lemon+7+channel+rx&itmmeta=01JVT2RN3H4Y3B4779GXD6SN0Z&hash=item1f55c42613:g:UvsAAOSw0axkbMOL&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cGLOl3CK6zClmj90CO90kJ1nIYxqsOY8x93EFWLpFQdmfJbV9xkB%2F991wuA6z1zri1yUEap4UgPZZhuLilGxErBV1ILwicPmZhpTmG7cqdxP7mJ4xiC44obEddzcoOEuJccE8AEEeOgx86YzzUkX%2Bl0R8Y3FPLxLh9YT4rMQ7YrPl1xlnl0TeI30msnUC5HgITFqrKyBid81M4FKfXA%2B1fvxpA5YmqIXheaOJ%2BuzHJOWBdgHqT9O7WB8%2F%2BzNKqUeU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4bS4sLeZQ

I think Nigel wasnt keen on another set of EPO tyres, the Kavans are light can take a bearing if wanted. Plus the other options appear out of stock.
-
Watch out for the Dubro inflatables very heavy 6" wheel 321g hence I opted for the Kavan 6"/ 150mm at 105g!. I do also use the Dubro low bounce non inflatables
-
I use them, AR637T for example and other gyro models can be mounted in many ways as suggested but always along the fuselage, upside down, on its edge forward or backward facing. Google the manual for your chosen RX. As mentioned its is set up via forward programming on the TX. Do you need the gyro?

Im using Kavan inflatables either balloon smooth items or threaded, came with various axle hubs and will accept a bearing, usual sizes,https://modelemax.pl/en/pumped/8771-inflated-wheel-100-mm-kavan-balloon-0180-2-pieces .

Strange, topic title "About to dump Spektrum" " I’m searching to just dump Spektrum altogether. I WAS looking at buying the ix14 or 20, but don’t want the same issue with an expensive transmitter". Who wrote the above then!!!
-
Am I right in thinking a newbie bought old gear, crashes twice ? then joins the "Spektrum Haters Gang" Personally havent seen any more untimed landings with Spektrum users than Futaba, mine have been my fault and one mech failure. More newbies seem to use Spektrum so reported newbie incidents may be used to distort the figures. On a positive note welcome to the gang of midlife plus men who lurk around in fields together playing toy planes and drinking tea with that flask taste. If not already done register the TX and RX online with Spektrum and check for updates. As suggested Logic RC at Hertford are pretty helpful.

Wanted Eflite Draco 2.0m model box if someone has one taking up space - Moving. Thanks
-
Nicad works. Also, perhaps not recommended but I assumed one i thought was lost but had left in a project was a gonna got a turbo boost straight main connector to main connector for about two mins. then went through a couple of full charge, discharge cycles then a slow balance charge, still working today.

Clear Sanitary silicon from Screwfix/Toolstation/Wickes. De-grease the contact surfaces first.

Doing a little thinning and resisted the temptation to visit the boxes of hidden essentials in the loft this winter! Never had any luck here selling. The van option is probably the best but going a little further east than France after my vote for New Aquitaine was rejected 1-1 in a fair vote apparently. Perhaps a look at wooden cases may be in order.
-
Looks like a silly question even to me. Moving long distance and taking the babies with me. Some will dismantle for regular boxes and some wont which is the concern. I could get a van and do that bit myself but not keen and a van for 20 kg of foam etc! Anyone aware of suitable packaging. Plus looking for a Eflite Draco original box if there one going within reasonable striking distance of the M11
-
A tip I was given with foamies and others that require the servo to be glued in is to wrap the servo in heat shrink tube, shrink it of course and glue that in. should it need to come out again cut the tube peel out the shrink and Bobs your trans auntie.

I bought some exhaust gasket paper online a while back. possibly from Westons.
