RE: Got my first planes. Woo Hoo!
Believe me, when buying 2 planes at once, I didn't want to cheap out on the field gear, so I got me a nice box. I got the Great Planes box with the removable electrical box, Hangar 9 electric panel, Hangar 9 electric start, Hangar 9 electric fuel pump, glow ignitor that runs off of the panel, plus manual backups for all but the fuel pump.
I also finally got the flap servo installed and adjusted. I decided to do this because I can just leave it alone until I'm ready to use it, then when I'm ready, it'll be there.
Initially, I did have some issues getting it bound, but come to find out, the binding directions that come with the Rx only mentioned 1 way of doing it that didn't work well. So my first day at the field was with the JR SX600 that comes with the plane. When I went to the LHS today, they assited me in getting it bound by plugging in the bind plug directly to the battery slot on the Rx instead of through the charge lead as the directions say to do. Next time at the field will be with the DX7.
