Hi all,

I have a new easyglider that i have built/put together ect. My electronics arrived today and there is a problem.

I have a Hitec Optic 6 transmitter with a 35mhz module on the back. I have the RR version of the easyglider so the servos were already installed. I have a Guanli rx and Guanli 35.200mhz crystals. My power supply is a 4.8v 4 pack battery.

The problem is that it doesnt work. Once everything is plugged in, (battery-battery slot, ch1-aileron, ch2-elevator, ch4-rudder, ch5- aileron) and the matching crystals are in the tx and rx it doesnt pick up. I have tried a few things but no matter how much stick twiddling i do it doesnt react.[:@]

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt

Don't know anything about that brand. But why do you have ailerons in both 2 and 5. Are you using flaperons? My futaba slot 2 is for elevator, 3 for throttle and 4 is for rudder. I know someone here will help you.

Hi,

Yeh sorry i just realised i put typed that in wrong.

Has now been corrected to my actual set up.

Cheers,

Matt

If I read your post correctly did you use a different brand of crystal in the transmitter than Hitec??

Ken

yes.

That's more than likely your problem then. You should always use crystals from the manufacturer of your radio. If you have a Hitec radio then you need to have a Hitec crystal in it.

Ken

Hi,

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Will these crystals work with my receiver aswell?

Matt

Hi,

I just had a look and the crystal i have are meant to be compatable with hitec...

Matt

There is a chance that the TX and RX simply will not work together no matter what you do. This happens in some of these inexpensive Chinese products.

why didn't you buy a hitec rx?they're dirt cheap!

I dont know!

Just about to though. Thanks for your advice everyone. I will never try cheap products again!

Cheers,

Matt

You don't save much in the long run. Sorry.[&o]

cheap is sometimes good but in the case of radio gear it's not worth the risk,i bought a webra nano rx once and lost a much loved model and nearly took out a kid because of the p.o.s.

Yea i love cheap stuff (who doesn't) but radio gear is one thing that i do it right and spend the money, there's just too many things to go wrong with electronics

My daddy use to tell me "only the rich can afford the cheap stuff, because you have to replace it so often"

yeh thats a very valid saying.

i have brought a cirrus receiver as it was going so i hope this will work better!

matt

i hope you got a cirrus crystal,why didn't you buy a hitec rx?you bought an rx that very few people stock and even less use,what does that tell you?

god, your not telling me that it wont work.

I don't think he is, not sure he knows. I think he is just wondering about your logic in making that purchase. Had it been me, I would have also bought a Hitec and KNOWN that I had a matching combination.

Yeh, I no, I was going to buy a hitec rx but i checked the cirrus rx compatiblility with hitec transmitters.

I GUESS you should be OK then.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I didn't see it mentioned yet. Are your receiver and transmitter batteries fully charged?

you should be o.k. but i looked at the ripmax website and it said nothing about compatibility but futaba rx will work with a hitec tx and vice versa and i know a cirrus rx works with futaba tx so fingers crossed,i still can't understand why you didn't go with the hitec rx,was it a financial decision?

Do a really good range check antenae down and around 100' away without jitters and it should be ok.

Hi,

Right, just to let everyone know...it didn't work yet again.

I'm going for a hitec or futaba rx this time!

Well the cirrus rx just came up and i thought i would give it a go! so slightly financial decision.
