New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
hmmm, for the SPP install issues, it seems vendors(trading post members) have gotten it installed perfectly and so on, yet the "average joe" is having problems.... hmmm not to be skeptical, yet being skeptical, I have trouble with this.... hmmm, I hate to say it, but a vendor who sells it says it perfect, yet 95% so far have troubles with it installing... so I don't want to accuse anyone, but I want to see 90% of the average person have success installing it and NOT just vendors who sell the stuff, that way it would look suspecious... soory, just an honest observation the past 3 pages of this thread....
So, I hope Hitec can help us out here with support and hopefully nailing down this spp issue.
Yes, we the consumer want rock solid and consistent findings and fixes, especially with dumping so much money in the hobby, so we discuss in these forums, so please don't be upset that I/we phrase things in these different skeptical manners, thank you
Cheers
The Avg Joe looking for a great product at a great price
So, if you OWN one, you comment is credible. If you don't, well, maybe it's not so helpful..... would like to know what the SPP thing is, at least...
I just bought a Aurora 9 last week and tried to change it to MODE 1 with out taking the back off but ended up removing the back to find the screw, any how I cant seem to change the program over to mode 1 any one out there that can help.
Thanks Scott

I tried your suggestion but it did not help. The program works with Windows XP but not with Win 7 Home 64 bit version. I went through the Windows 7 install troubleshooting process and eventually Windows web site reported back that program is not compatible with Windows 7, 64. bit.
Are we having fun yet...lol<o></o>

I picked mine up from Tom at Wild Hare on Friday, along with a second 7 channel receiver. My coupon will go in the mail on Monday. My one comment so far is I can't wait for the V1.07 firmware. The sound mute will go a long way towards maintaining marital bliss in the house.
But since that is my ONLYbeef, of any kind, (except for needing three hands to bind some RXconfigurations - that's a little awkward) I'm good to go....and will download 1.07 as soon as I hear it's out there for the doing.
So far, the only concern I have with the system is the battery compartment door. Somehow I have ham handedly pulled the cover off when flying ( twice ). Wouldn't be too cool if my Lipo dropped to the ground. It must be the way I'm gripping/holding the transmitter. It feels great in my hands. I can find the switches/trims without taking my eyes off my airplane. I'll have to find a way to keep the door in place without the cure ''looking'' too clumsy.
Any suggestions?
I totally agree . I thought about this , but didn,t put much thought to it . I,ve seen it happen twice to fellow modelers . NOT FUN AT ALL . The rear battery cover is very easy to remove , ................................ something that could go on the WISH list ( that means retooling )
Even if I put a piece of tape , I know it won,t come appart ( better safe than sorry )
Not a complait , just an obsurvasion .

Anyone not satisfied with the lack of throttle ratchet tension? I have the left screw tightened all the way and it's still fairly loose. I like to be able to feed rudder without affecting throttle position. The strange thing is that I just received my A9 a week ago and it has the philips head screws versus allen head; I thought all the current build A9's had the allen head screws.

Very impressed with the radio overall, just need more spring tension
Thanks

Has anyone ever tried mixing rudder into ESC motor speed (small) as a differential to get rudder yaw effects via twin engine speed changes on an EP model.

I have a very simple question . Can I connect a 6 volt ( 5 cell ) battery to the Aurora receivers ?
