Tom Flynn 1 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hi everyone i keep reading that the Frsky is compatible with Futaba, what I,m looking for is some to tell me that is so. I read so many articles on the subject, but to be honest I never believe most of them. i have 7c transmitter and using r617fs RX. So help needed as I,m like most and looking for a cheaper receiver. thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon burch Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You are correct, but when buying a Frsky receiver, you need to make sure it is Fasst compatible. They sell different versions for different makes, so be careful to choose the right one. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon burch Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Have a look here **LINK** **LINK** I've even used these 14 channel Corona versions with no issues. **LINK** Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Flynn 1 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for that Simon, any problems on binding, or just the same as a futaba RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Bastow Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Tom, I use both the frsky and corona receivers and have not had any issues. Binding is very simple, much as futaba. You have to hold down the bind button while you connect the battery for the first time and that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARPERFECT Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Tom Flynn ! . I have just bought two of the TFR6 from Hobby King European site. Cost me £40 with post .

Bruce Austin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi Guys, Finished binding and setting up the controls on a new flying wing with motor.All seemed ok, and just waiting for some calmer drier weather for the maiden. Today looked good for a flight. quick bench check OOOHHHH heck!!! Doesn't seem to be binding, just odd little hicups, and twitches. I unplugged the lipo then reconnected and then the motor did it's LIPO count. but still just occasional twitching and motor run intermittent. Lipo is 3S and 97% charge. Quick question Can freezing 0 degrees affect the Futaba T6J, or the FrSky Delta 8 RX.??? I've been flying with this combination on other gliders without any problem Go With the Flow Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B 1 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 How close did you have the transmitter to the receiver when you have the problem? I recently had a similar problem when setting a model up on the bench and it was due to the tx being too near to the receiver when first powered up, moved them at least a metre apart and instantly bound.

Phil Green Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Tom, I'm not sure if its 100% clear from the above posts, Frsky use a variety of protocols in their receiver range. Their own proprietary one is called ACCST but they also do Futaba FASST and Futaba FHSS receivers. When you buy a Frsky receiver to be used with a Futaba transmitter, its essential that it matches the transmitter protocol ie FASST or FHSS. The Frsky ACCST receivers wont work with either Futaba protocols. It can be very confusing if you're not familiar with Frsky! ------ Bruce, do you really mean it wouldnt bind, or it wouldnt establish the link? were you actually trying to bind it again? Binding should only need to be done once, unless you're setting failsafe on a Specky Cheers Phil Edited By Phil Green on 16/01/2016 17:53:31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be a fairer statement if it read: "It can be very confusing if you're not familiar with Futaba"! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Agreed, it is Futaba that have caused this with their love of protocol soup, not FrSky! Back to the problem at hand... I suggest you read the instructions for the Delta 8 carefully. Have you tried a manual bind by jumpering pins 7 and 8?

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yes but most of those ACCST protocols are updates and run on one Tx, surely! Where as the Futaba are independent protocols. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Austin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi Phil. I couldn't establish the link. BUT ALL IS NOW WELL! Cause??? Maybe I just didn't bind it properly before!!!! I just went back to the basic binding sequence using the little jumper supplied with the Delta 8. That worked Then I set up the fail safe. That all seems fine now on the bench. I didn't venture out in the near freezing this afternoon. I'll do another bench test in the morning, and also a range check. Thanks guys.

Where as the Futaba are independent protocols. ACCST is just a name. The Frsky protocols are all different & mutually incompatible. Only one was issued as an update, D8v1 to v2 but it is a different protocol, v1 & v2 are not inter-operable. None of the others are updates, they're independent protocols. Oh and Corona have five protocols, more than Futaba. Not that any of this matters, just making the point that Futaba aren't the only ones Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Austin Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Bruce here again Turns out that my Delta 8 binding problem returned. Fortunately I did my usual bench test before going to the field. I purchased two new Delta 8 Frsky (same ones because I reckon they do well, on my other models.) Plugged new one in on the bench and binding no problem. Now fitted to the plane, and seems fine. Antenna 90 degrees and in the same location and orientation, so it seems the old RX developed a problem. MORAL of the story: always do a bench check before venturing out!!!
