David Mansfield Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Does anyway out there know of any crystals that are compatible with the Walkera Tx and Rx or how I might change things.Walkera tell me they only make two crystals on 64 and 72. I need 81 and above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Try Futaba crystals. they work with most. Do a range check first though.Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mansfield Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Crikey, that was a quick response, about 2 minutes I guess. Thanks Jonathan. I will try them out tonight and let you know.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Lewzey Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Are Walkera Helis any good? I've got an Esky Honeybee CP2 from rcscale.co.uk (for £92 delivered!) and have found it very good. The only problem is the pitch changes rather drastically with any increase in throttle! This is fine once it has done it once, but I now only tend to fly in a sports hall for safety. I'd heard that Walkera Helis are badly set up in the factory. Are Esky the same?Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi Guys, I bought a Walkera 60 from RC scale for a good price too, however all the settings were wrong and to date i still cannot get them right. There seems to be plenty of power from the battery but it just will not take off to any great height, it will hover at about 2 feet then just lower to the ground. Any one help me out here? I bought it because it was larger than my Century helicopter and it looked a good price, but 3 months on and its shelved in the study. Im sure its someting easy to sort, prob is the manual is in chinese and difficult to understand the broken english in parts...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mansfield Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 I dont know yet Jonathan. I am a new heli pilot. Just frustrating trying to get going with it because of the crystal problem.I tried a pair of Futaba crystals which seemed to work ok until I checked with the aerial down. I lost contact after about 4 metres so I did not dare touch the throttle. I will try another pair tonight just in case but I suspect that Futaba crystals are not fully compatible. Maybe there is a way to tune them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mansfield Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hello Brian, did you see that I tried a pair of Futaba Crystals. Not great results though. I gonna try another pair and make sure the batts are charged well.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Sewter Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 does anyone know how to make a walkera reciever work with a futaba tranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mansfield Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Brian, I tried another pair of Futaba crystals last night after a good charge. Unfortunately it was no better and I came to the conclusion that Futaba crystals are not compatible with Walkera although they fitted.Anyone got any other ideas or can anyone try out other makes as I only have Futaba.

Mr Tall Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I used Hitec crystals in my Honeybee CP2 receiver, using a Hitec Optic6 Tx, they seemed to work OK. That was on 35.030MHz (don't know if that's relevant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Meredith Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 i tried to sort a walkera for a guy at the shop,, the trany was throttle right, and could not be altered, so he invested in a 6exh, and that refused to talk to the walkera receiver despite having matching xtals, so i fitted it out with a gws receiver, and no further probs, but when i test flew it to set it up for him i could not get it above 2 feet from tera firma, to be fair though it was stable, even at that hight, but sooooo under powered, in the end he shelved it and bought a t rexphil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thats exactly the prob i have had, 2 feet in hover,stable flight but nothing else....guess i will put another Walkera on the shelf...lesson learnt.Thanks chaps for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mansfield Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 I have been told at my local club by one of the helibuffs that futaba crystals should be ok if they are Dual Conversion (with the orange tag) Up til now I had been using the old style as 15 year old style! This is because the Tx has PPM on it. I will purchase a pair in due course and let you all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Hailey Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hi boy's The Walkera 60 is fine all heli's need setting up and the 60 no difrent if the pich setting is to advanced for the rota R.P.M the motor will not be able to lift the heli to any sort of hight, plus the standard brushed motor is not man enogh to fly any hight, and only ideal the leaning with.
