GONZO Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 T9 have a new shipment in now. Get them now before there all gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J V R Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I have been using a Frsky module in a 8u futaba radio for 3/4 years now, & never had any problems. With the Taranis I can still use all of my older RX's, just put one of their JDT module's in the back. I will say that the programing is different but I am getting there slowly, & with the price of the RX's from £13 to about £26 I can see no point of using anything else...............

J V R Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have been playing around with my Taranis today setting up a new model and thought I would make use of the 3 position switch ( SA ) and 3 sets of rates. After making the 3 sets of rates up on c9x and checking on the simulator I find that only 2 work with ''SA'' in the down position its the same as when its in the middle position. What am I doing wrong ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 JVR have you ended up with three lines per stick? something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J V R Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Chris Yes that's the same layout that I made & I even tried with the values around both ways IE high with switch in the up position & around the other way, but with no luck Jan..............

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 you sure you have switch up, switch middle and switch down selected? one for each rate? and a different percentage for each one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J V R Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have deleted all the settings so I will make up some more and double check that all have different switch position and different values....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J V R Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Chris, I only did the AIL channel on the 3 position switch this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ah!- had to keep looking through those for some time, but I think I've spotted it. You have an exclamation mark in each switch choice. This means "all positions except this one" Re-select those without the exclamation marks and have a try.

RichFR Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yup that's your problem I did this with a switch without noticing it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J V R Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's the one, thanks Chris I've spent ages trying to figure that out................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolstonFlyer Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have just 'pulled the trigger' (as they say in the USA) on a Taranis from T9HobbySport I will probably get a 2500mAh 8xAA NiMh+ Low self discharge Battery pack from Vapextech, I think that will let me use the built in charger. **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at Taranis Tx spares on the T9 site there's a 2000mAH LSD priced at £10.19 - I just got recently. Just seen they're out of stock but probably best just use the fitted battery & wait until they come back in.

J V R Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yes, that's correct Chris. I think that one would have taken me a month of Sunday's to work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J V R Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi WF If your charge light blinks for a short while after plugging in then the charger will handle a larger mah battery, I found that out via another forum........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The stock battery lasts a good while, see what you think first WF. Good choice BTW. Oh and any 2S lipo can be plugged in as the battery connector is correct for the balance plug. A LiPo has to be taken out for charging though, but if you have one that will fit in, it's a good backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVR, the battery capacity doesn't matter as far as the charger's concerned but anyway that's not the issue. The physical dimensions of an 8xAA cell battery & connector don't suit.

WolstonFlyer Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have just been watching the videos from RCModelReviews on YouTube, he does a very good review, I think I am going to be pleased with this I think I will use the stock battery for a while, a 1500mAh LiFe looks like a possible oprin as well with an adapter cable. Just that horrible wait for the currier company now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean, my last order from T9 wasn't delivered until nearly 20 hours after I'd placed it - but it did come Royal Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yes, I've been very impressed with how fast T9 deliver stuff. I've placed about 5 orders with them lately (Tx, the subsequent Rx's, sensors and upgrade battery etc) having never ordered from them before. Everything has arrived after one working day. Order in the morning you get it the next day, order at night you get it the day after next. Very impressive. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
