Default RE: Absolute genious.

Just a short update here.

First of all, if I sound a tad bit on edge with this, well, I am. And I apologize if my replies offended anyone. It's just that I spent two evenings trying to get this thing to bind. After the first evening, I though I must be doing something wrong, so I put it away and went to bed. Then, yesterday, I tried again, same process, got nowhere, so I thought one of two things. Either the TX/RX combination was faulty, or my process was faulty. I couldn't think that the first of the two was the solution, so it had to be my process.

Popriv AND a magnifying glass cleared up that process. I now have a bound pair and it works just fine.

My main gripe here is with the documentation and the lack of proper instructions on process. The radio itself is just fine.

I'll take part blame for assuming something that I perhaps should have not. I tried everything I knew, except one, which turned out to be the right one. Live and learn. I've said all I have to say on this.

Irish.. cerial, juice, banana, coffee, English muffin. We're going to get rain today, already windy. Blah.. The plane that I am trying to get up and flying is the trainer replacement (after being so stupid to leave the antenna down on my Super Star RTF and put it into the turf last Summer) which is a Hanger 9 Alpha. The plane is pretty much finished, all that remains is to connect the throttle pushrod and it's done. I am thinking of using a ball-socket at the throttle. I have one on another plane and like that arrangement. Once that's finished, I will re-check all throws and get ready to fly. Oh, OS 46 FX on board.

The DX6i is easier to set up than the DX7. Has all of the capabilities as the DX7 that I use, anyway. So, only waiting for good weather to maiden it.
