Can 2 DXes be used\: 1 as a master and 1 as a slave wirelessly for training purposes? I am instructing and my equipment is all Futaba. I would like to be able to help club members just starting out that have a lot of electric planes of the beginning variety without going to a lot of extra expense. While I can put them up with a fuel powered trainer they then would not be able to get use of their own planes.

Thanks to whom e3ver responds.

Darryl. I've not personally done so but according to the Spektrum Tx comparison chart 'https://www.spektrumrc.com/Content/Media/PDF/SPM_Transmitter_Comparison.pdf' the answer is yes!

The DXe in the chart is NOT the DXe that comes with a ready-to-fly model. The RTF units do not have the wireless trainer hardware.

You could use a regular DXe as the master (instructor) and an RTF as the slave (student), but not the other way around.

Actually, you can use ANY DSM2/DSMX transmitter as the student/slave radio - it's the instructor/master radio that needs the wireless trainer module.

So - Andy, Do I need to use a trainer cord from the RTF DXe to the regular DXe to make things work? What is the procedure to link them together?
Thanks - Darryl.

No, you use Wireless mode. Bind regular DXe to aircraft as normal. Bind RTF DXe to open stock DXe in Wireless mode.
