AURI Tyro

Nigel Dell Thanks for your supportive text Nigel. I'll cease the self flagellation forthwith and buy a lemon squeezer, as you advise. Your post did prompt my memory to discover that my computer was still linked to my previous mobile 'phone, on which I'd done a 'Factory Reset' and overlooked changing the 'App' to my latest 'phone. Now, where's that 'pointy' hat ? 🤣 All points in your informative mailing noted, with thanks. Regards. Derek.

Dickw Thanks for your input Dick, it appears that you (and A.N. Other), are absolutely 'spot-on'. I think I need to upgrade my computer skills, meanwhile, I shall retire defeated, put on my 'pointy' hat and go and sit in the schoolroom corner. 😢

MattyB I thank you for the suggestions and have taken note, but the 'random' TX trials, were the result of my attending the usual weekly Club winter Indoor flying session and there were other TX's immediately available, plus interested owners. Simon Chaddock I've never previously had to deal with the current situation, or indeed this type of glider, or construction material thereof, so it's a bit of a 'learning curve' for me and I don't absorb, or retain new knowledge at my age, as well as I used to do. However, being able to look back on the forum contributors input, is ideal and I really appreciate everyone's taking the time and trouble to respond to my initial enquiry. I thank you one and all., p.s. I'm going to attempt another image transfer from my mobile 'phone. https://photos.google.com/u/0/album/AF1QipPjyscPIojyJUF-wbu1Rp4AiQyYjy87IfKawwGN

Simon - I thank you for your input, which I've read with interest. Unfortunately I've managed to corrupt it after reception, so I've had to take this path to respond. I'm not the worlds best computer user, so I do make the occasional mistake. My apologies. (Mea Culpa). Regards. Derek.

Good Afternoon Gentlemen, (one and all). Thank you for taking the time and trouble to help me with my dilemma, your efforts on my behalf are appreciated. It's all 'grist to the mill'. I will attempt to address your individual mailings in a 'one shot' return. Andy Gates. It is indeed, just a 'board', which appears to be functioning normally and has what I take to be a VERY small 'reset' button, which was initially overlooked. I will attempt to post an image, but at 84 years of age, I may find it beyond my limited expertise in that particular field. If so, I apologise in advance. MattyB. Your second posting solution has already been considered, in discussions with fellow Club members and is on my list of 'Possibilities' Matty, but I thank you anyway. Ron Gray. Your assumption regarding space constraints is quite correct and you may well be right as to the possibility of an 'out of case' solution, but I really don't know. kc. Both DSM2 and DSMX Spektrum transmitters have been tried, without success. (Also FrSky). However, your information regarding their possibly being a difference between Spektrum and Futuba systems, although discussed by Club members, was not resolved at the time, as no one had a Futuba transmitter to test the hypotheses, so the information you provided may prove very useful, for which I thank you. Although the model itself was quite badly damaged in an 'off field' crash landing, I don't think the receiver electronics were and over time, I've managed to bring the model back to flying condition. The only missing part, as far as I'm aware, was the cockpit cover, which I've managed to make a replacement for. In conclusion. I again thank you all and should I, hopefully, get the model back into controlled flight, I will post a mail to that effect. It will never look as beautiful as it once was, but as they retail for something in the region of over 500 Euros, I thought it a worthwhile exercise. Regards. Derek. p.s . I will now try to add a photograph.

Good Evening Dick/MattyB. Apologies for the slow response gentlemen, I've been away from home. To respond. My Transmitter is a Spektrum DX7EU, (SMS). No. I do not know if the RX/TX are the same. There's no identification visible on the Receiver board. From consultations with other Club members, the general consensus, was as you mentioned MattyB, that there's a protocol mismatch, but because of that, therein lie the possible dilemma, as virtually all the members who've been kind enough to try to 'bind' to the board, have had various flavours of Spektrum Transmitters, except for one, chap, who owns, but doesn't now use, a 'FlSky'. The latter failed to 'do the business' also. Hence my plea for assistance 'out of area' as it were. Possibly a 'Futaba' Transmitter, would 'bind', but I don't know anyone who has one, or indeed, whether it uses the same protocol as a Spektrum. Maybe one of you may know if there is a difference twixt Spektrum and Futuba ? I thank you both for your kind interest in my rather puzzling problem, it's much appreciated. Regards. Derek.

Good Afternoon Dick. I thank you for your rapid response. However the Receiver antennas, (two off), are outwith the fuselage, as per the design and connected to the board internally. A fellow Club member told me why this was so. I had not originally realised the fuselage material was the reason. Regards, Derek.

Good Afternoon. A damaged carbon fibre constructed model glider, (as per the Title line), has recently come into my possession and though I've been 'into' model aircraft for many years, I've never come across one of this particular type, or construction. I have encountered a problem during repairs to the model, that although the Receiver board lights up and appears to be ready to 'bind', I cannot seem to be able to achieve that happy state of affairs. If any of the learned gentlemen (or ladies), reading this can assist, I'd really appreciate any and all advice. Particularly in respect of a suitable Transmitter, (but methodology may be a factor also). I thank you in anticipation. Regards. Derek.
