General Theory. Practical Application
Hi folks.....
I am looking for some Basic (simplified ) Schematics and Theory of basic RC Radio Systems...Mostly Transmitter/Rcvr....
The reason I am asking is because I bought one of those CHEAPY $70 helicopters at the recent RCX expo in Los Angeles.
Of course it stopped workin after about an Hour....Seems that the Transmitter and Receiver are not Synching up any more...( I hit a wall
)
I know this thing is of no real value, but I thought it might be fun to Trace the signal and troubleshoot the thing. Good learning experience...I am an experienced Avionics tech (But I'm not a Radio guy. I understand the theory, but lack useful Radio experience), and have access to all necessary Equipment.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.....
