Hey all, might not be the right place, but I get all my good answers here. One of the other planes I picked up at the swap meet was a wattage extra 330L, nice little plane. Good friend of mine at the LHS hooked me up with a 2 wire speed controller for the brushed motor and tested the motor and it's good to go. I got it home and took the Spektrum Rxout of the typhoon. I selected the Typhoon model on the DX7 and powered everrything up. Light on receiver is flashing fast, but that's it. no stick repsonse. I tried rebinding with no luck. Any tips that would help me get it to bind? I'm putting the bind plug in the batt on the RX and the Receiver battery in the aux slot. I know I need to go to brushless, but nothing wrong with the motor that is in it. I can't remember where I hooked the ESC wire on the typhoon, but pretty sure it was the throttle slot. I can only assume it would be the same for the brushless motor. Servo's move and center when I power everything up. But after that, no solid light and no stick response.

Try standing back a few feet when binding. I've never tried it myself but other people have told me they had to do it. I also have an AR-6200 that just flat out will not bind. I am going to send it into Horizon for service if I can ever remember to do it.

Thanks, thought about the possibility of having the TX too close. I read about that earlier today.

What rx is it? Is it DSM2? The DX7 needs a DSM2 capable rx.

I'll start flippin' through the DX7 manual.


Edit: you already had it werking in the Typhoon, duh, my bad...

Failsafe? Bad ESC?

Finally got it to bind, all seems to be fine. Been working on getting the Balsa Nova together, haven't had time to fly it yet. Thanks all!!

Yeah, Bill, I've had some issues with a re-bind or binding a new aircraft RX to the transmitter. It often comes down to the procedure followed. Now, I won't say that I messed it up, but it's a pretty good bet.. [X(]

CGr.

Depending on alien sightings or solar flares a model will occasionally "un-bind" itself. I always use a 3 wire switch / charge port "so as I don't haf ta remember more-n-one bind method". I'm just not smart enough and have fat fingers to remember how to bind a Rx any other way. [:@]

I have one AR7000 that I swear to the heavens above would NOT bind. So, I sent it back to Horizon where they ran it through a couple of tests - all positive. Got the Rx back with a note from the tech that all is well with the Rx and it binds fine. I set up a test connection outside the plane with the Rx, a battery, one servo (THRO) and a switch. With the bind plug inserted the Rx did NOT flash rapidly - BUT - it did bind. And when it did bind the lights on this particular Rx and remote were not as intense as any of my other 6 Rx's. Go figure.
