Simon Roberts Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have just bought this today and i love it so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 What is the touchscreen like? To you keep accidently upsetting it with your hands whilst trying to move the sticks, or does it have a "hold " facility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Roberts Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The touchscreen is just a dream to use and makes everythign so easy to setup, I struggled to setup some things on my DX6i like Tailevators on the right stick but this makes it so so easy to do! Your hands are no where near the screen whilst holding the Tx, its also inset by about 8mm or so so no chance at all of touching it. So far i cannot find a single thing i dont like about this system at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.A. Barry Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Touch screen.........THAT is somthing new,... and Simon you say it is a delight to use? looks like they have beaten JR and Fuatba to "bell" in the mid range TX's...must have a look A.A.

Sunny Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I read somewhere on RC universe that there is a special offer in USA for getting another 2 recievers at reduced prices -one free and one half price via voucher in the Aurorra box. Is this true and will it be availble in UK aswell - a bit like the Spectrum offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thats a no then? - Might have to think a bit more about it before taking the plunge. Come on Hitec/Amerang - if Spektrum can do it, you can too! lets have that offer in europe aswell!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi Just tried setting up my first model on my aurrora and am getting noise from my JR811 servos on elevator and aileron, as if they cannot find center.were fine on my PCM set up.this is though ailevatar mix on 6 volts.Any ideas anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 These are digitals ( as supplied with the DX7 sets ) and almost all digitals buzz as they try harder than analogues to find centre..especially if the control surfaces are large and putting feedback on them.
