Which Radio?

Yes. But dont despair, the bind plug is easily made from an old servo plug...its nothing more than that with the two outer pins connected together - 2 minute job.

They do not normally come with BNF models.

The bind plug comes with a receiver. It is a very simple plug which shorts out the signal and positive terminals on the receiver. Most shops would give you one free if you're buying a TX.

 

Don't know about BNF models but as they can be bound to a DX6i, they must use a similar method.

 

Don't worry about them, they are common and very easy to beg, borrow and buy!

Re homemade bind plugs.

 

If you make one with a socket you can do the binding through a three-legged switch harness without having to unplug it. Providing of course the harness uses all three conductors in the two plugs and one socket.

Clive,
I usually bind mine between signal and the 0volt line.

Whoops! Ignore me, listen to Brian

thanks for that guys.

Bind n Fly models don't come with the bind plug, they use a different method, basically you switch the TX on in bind mode and during the Rx boot up it looks for a TX thats transmitting in bind mode and it binds that way. I bound my MCX heli to my DX6i no problem.

 

Standard Rx's all come with bind plugs

Thank you very much for that Frank.
