My Feedback: (5)

Hi, after years as a JR/Spektrum user, I recently changed to a 12FG radio.

I'm setting up one of my gas planes with the radio and things have gone remarkably easily except that I cannot setup my RCEXL optical kill switch to work with the new radio.

I'm running firmware 2.0 and the plane has a 6014FS receiver installed.

I have plugged the optical kill switch onto channel 10 and given it 140% of travel in both directions. Checked it in the servo monitor and it does indeed swing 140% each way as I flip the switch.

The problem is I cannot get the switch to respond at all. The switch works fine on a spektrum or FM receiver. Just not on the 12FG/6014FS.

It seems really weird to be grounded by such a trivial problem.

Please help.

I had the same problem . Frustrating as it is, it is easy to fix. These opto switches only work in ch1. It must have something to do with the way the data moves up the channel sequence or something like that . If someone whos knows about such things can give us a explaination I would be interested to hear it.

Since you have an R6014FS, you may want to check our sticky at the top of this page. I would suggest using one of your lower channels for the kill switch.
