NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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,

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

yes.

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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.

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

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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.

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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]

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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.

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

yeh thats a very valid saying.

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

matt

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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?

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

god, your not telling me that it wont work.

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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.

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

I GUESS you should be OK then.

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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?

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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

RE: NEED HELP...PLEASE!
 

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.
