Jon Laughton Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I am trying to copy some models from a 14SG to a new (Acro only) 18SZ using a 512KB SD card. I have successfully copied model memories to the card on the 14SG and can see them on that Tx but when I load the card into the 18SZ I cannot see the card nor the model memories....anyone had this problem and know a solution? Thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Laughton Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Correction the SD card is 512MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon burch Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I thought the 18sz wouldn't read models from the 14sg or 8fg. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Laughton Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 That would appear to be the case - can you advise where that information comes from please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Laughton Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks Simon those links are pretty clear on the issue so I will have to transfer manually and test fly those models🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Laughton Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 For those who may be interested I have been advised by the Ripmax Service Dept that there is a way to convert data from the 8FG/14SG to the 18MG by using a download from their website: **LINK** I have yet to read the manual and try it but will do so this week I hope (time permitting) Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Laughton Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Should read 8FG/14SG to the 18SZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesworth Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I saw the converter on the Ripmax website but did not see any mention of 8FG so I transferred all model settings manually (10 of them!) to my 18SZ. At least it gave me time to become more familiar with the 18SZ. I made sure to copy the trim positions over. Maiden flights with the new system went well with little or no adjustment of the trims required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
