Lee Bentley Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Ernie,35 should be legal for RC by 2011 according to the FFAM, not that I would use it now. Following my argument with the ground and later a tree, I have now sold all my 35 stuff and like you, using 2.4, no probs.I use Futaba, wheres this switch? The French have had a lot of problems with the Spektrum, do you get the FFAM mag, 'Aero Modeles'? theres a big thing about it in there.Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Lee,The switch is inside the TX. The FFAM mag is new to me, I'll have a look for it on the Google. I'm looking at the current (aout 08) RC pilot international (can I say that Timbo?) If my French is OK, then I understand that 35 is now OK. Still, comme toi, I wouldn't touch it with le pole of le bargeErnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bentley Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 The FFAM send me the mag I assume its because I'm a member. I had to open up my Tx as I dropped it and summat came loose inside, I didn't notice ant special switch as such. Mines the 6ex.Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Lee, I'm in Charante Maritime, just south of Royan.. my experience is that model shops are difficult to find and the guys dont undertand my instinctive 'deadstick' , and 'landing' keep talking..Shall I start a French thread? so we francophiles can all exchange ideasernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bentley Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 A French thread, Hmm! Now theres an idea. I thought I recognised you, you came in on page one! That shop you mentioned in Salle, not been there yet. missus got suspicious when I suggested we go to Arcachon for the day.You must have got the leftovers of our storm last night. Didn't fly tonight, wind got up a bit. Grateful it wasn't a tornado though like the one that hit Northern France Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Bentley Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Myron,the word 'fil' is actually translated as 'wire' nearest thing to 'thread' I could think of .Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the unmagnificent man Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi all, or should I say bonjour on this thread? I also work over here in France and decided that 2.4 was the best option. Hopefully here is a photo of the switch inside the transmitter.If you look at the left side of the circuit board you will see a switch, just above it says "general" and below it says "France" Although on my photo it looks a bit like "ran". Hope this helps Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bentley Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 HiThanks for piccy, already found the switch and selected 'FRANCE' setting. I don't know why this should have a switch though Unless its to reduce output power to 100mW which is the requirement for France. The manual of course doesn't give the output power anyway so this is just a guess.Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
