Fly Boy 3 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Thanks Den, I was waiting until after tea lol. Yes that’s the one. I have 4.8 v nmh for power but 2pin. Worried about polarity problems. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Boy 3 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Nice one Den, batt. has 2 connections, so red in middle black at bottom ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Z Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Looking at the connections, the bind plug goes in the rightmost connection, marked B/VCC. Plugs in vertically, like a servo connection. As the normal power connection will thus be occupied, just plug the battery in at any free channel during the bind process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Boy 3 Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Thanks both for your help. You have made an old man happy. This is a great forum where people will share their knowledge and make virtual friends at the same time. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Boy 3 Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Got it , thanks all. Wonder if this electric newby can ask another question. Can any one show a picture of correct/ best positioning and orientation of the two long antenna of the above receiver when positioned in model. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Best practice is to have the ends at 90 degrees to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Boy 3 Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Thanks GG but should they be also on the same axis or one vertical and the other horizontal. Sorry for such a dumb question, I think it’s an age thing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I try and have one vertical and one horizontal but I'm not sure it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Z Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) 9 hours ago, Fly Boy 3 said: should they be also on the same axis or one vertical and the other horizontal. Presumably you meant on the same (geometrical) plane. The answer is it does not matter. The idea is that, as your plane can be in all kind of stances relative to the transmitter, there is always one antenna in a better orientation than the other one, in the worst case one is "dead" as it points to the Tx, and the other one has full reception. As for the transmitter, I believe in the "donut" signal strength pattern with the antenna poking through the hole, and thus bend my Tx antenna sideways (for flying planes at least, boats and other vehicles may be different). Edit: it occurred to me that you probably have a FlySky (i6?) transmitter which does not have an external antenna. AFAIK FlySky caters for that by having two antennae inside the case, at right angles to each other, but that does not take away the requirement to have the Rx antennae at right angles...

Max Z Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 And it is only the unshielded part of approximately 28 mm at the end of the antenna wire that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Boy 3 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Hi Max and GG, thanks for your input and answers. Yes I am using the i6 radio.I had read too regarding the ends of antennas do the business lol. Bit of a learning curve with this new radio and at my age it’s a slow job, but with great forum friends with all the answers I am confident.
