Michael Hickman Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Collected my replacement TX yesterday from Hobby Stores (Camden). Then had to enter in the settings & bind the RXs. Ground test all OK. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260 Flyer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 All my trims, rates and throws were way out after I entered the original values. So it looks like they have changed more than just the I.D firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cole Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Rob Crewe: my trims had not changed at all! I've flown with exactly the same settings and no need to re-trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Foreman Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well my model shop (Lancaster Model & Hobby World) haven't received anything from Ripmax yet, so no replacement TX for me. Still I've copied all my model settings into an excel spreadsheet in readiness. If anybody wants a copy of the spreadsheet to enter their own settings they are welcome to a copy, just private message me and I'll e-mail it. If anyone knows how to attach it for download I'll do that as well Its only good for ACRO settings, someone else will have to do the HELI version I'm afraid.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Foreman Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Got mine Saturday, model shop owner didn't seem very pleased, but then again I never buy much off him as he never has what I want in stock. Still I try to support ny LMS Radio works fine, spent about 15 minutes re-programming it, its quite a good excercise as I noticed that some of my setups were not as good as they could be, so I'll be re-jigging the pushrods to neutralise the servos and getting the best efficiency out of the servo throw. The only thing I forgot was to re-bind the TX, but that was soon sorted down the field after I had found a small twig which could depress the tiny button on the RX (didn't bring any tools, just batteries) Flies fine.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm always forgetting to bind and then struggle to get at the bind button when the RX is in the model. I picked up my replacement last week, all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to happy flying !No surprise there was some confusion due the way it was implemented!!!!Seems to me that in moving the battery across from old to new the shop you are calling was doing the right thing as per the Ripmax instructions to them and published process, so don't take issue with them!!!!I always use photocopies of the form in the rear of the instructions (you lot DO read the instructions?? ), so already had a sheet for each plane to duplicate settings exactly.........................6 models moved across, not a single click required to retrim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up my replacement last week, all is well.The Bind button is very badly placed on an end, as most are forced to keep the top of the Rx clear due the plugs/leads, IMO it would have been better there.I can understand that inadvertent operation while in flight might have dire consequences (!) , but with the usual need to make the aerial stretch outside a Fus the button/aerial end is usually right against something, so did it HAVE to be there............ AND.......................when ARE they going to produce a small end plug narrow unit .............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cole Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 But the Bind is supposed to be a one-time process, of course, which you do BEFORE installing the Rx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravedan Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ignoring the enforced replacement, all true until you get a second Tx and want to rebalance which plane is on which Tx................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravedan Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Don't give up Myron, then I'll be the only awkward one.................. You think FASST replacement is a pain, wait till you try getting "diseasel" fuel!!
