RE: H9 Jackal 50 Prop Jet

I don't know how much noise the brushless electric versions of the Jackal makes, but it is faster than the Jett 56 with pipe. I think they were talking about 180 mph with their electric Jackal 50

RE: H9 Jackal 50 Prop Jet

RE: H9 Jackal 50 Prop Jet

Got back to working on my Jackal 50 last night, and one of the Robart main gear is defective from the factory. One of the main gear is missing at least one part, the back stop rod that stops movement...

Which version of the firmware should be be using in the US? One of them is EN/IT, and the other was EN/DE/FR, if memory serves? They both appeared to be the same size.

Thank you,

RE: Spektrum AR8000 useless without satellite

I own some of the receivers, but I had no reason to attempt to use them without the satellite receiver. Did you think of trying that with yours?

Guess I'm just supposed to know, even though the...

RE: Spektrum AR8000 useless without satellite

I was wrong. Looking over my purchasing history, the prices were about the same for all three AR8000 receivers, within $10 or so.

Even with having to purchase a satellite receiver, my average...

RE: Spektrum AR8000 useless without satellite

If you want to read the eBay ad, the item number is 180862913514. Nowhere does it tell me that the satellite receiver is required for the receiver to actually work! I did not find that out until I...

RE: Spektrum AR8000 useless without satellite

The seller appears to have known that the receiver was not functional without the satellite receiver. His ad did not state that the receiver was not functional. And eBay ruled in his favor.

RE: Fake Futaba GY401 gyros on eBay again
