I Will Take 5 To start with with the possability of more for Perchase. Please Let me Know when you get started on selling these. I have a Futaba 10c and this would help out alot

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Ring me up!!!!! That idea's great.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

very cool. i'd love something like this for surface models, even if the receivers are cheap by comparison.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

I definitely like this idea. I love my Futaba 7C 2.4 but I hate how much the receivers cost. I have 6 planes and only three of them are on 2.4. I'll take three!

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Sorry, I must be missing something? Dont I have to move the same amount of plugs? what does this save?

I move my RX from plane to plane now...

This design allows you to plug your Rx into the board that will stay in your plane with the spaghetti not having to be messed with.

Get the Rx plug port to go horizontal with the board for my Spectrum Rx's and I will re-bind when I make a switch. My radio will keep the model memory anyway and that's the hard part (setting up the plane in the Tx). Ahh forget it... I'll build a prototype tonight and beat ya to the market:D

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Pretty cool, I have Hitec 2.4 and I'm interested.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

The unit stays with the plane and the Rx plugs into it as one piece instead of seven individual servo leads

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Do you have an idea how much would cost?

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

I should know next week I let you know

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

I like the idea very much. At present I have 14 planes so this would save me A BUNCH of money (not to mention it will PO the wife since I can add more planes :D )

When do you think you might have a price and will they be available for other receivers also?

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

This is a very ingenius idea! I'd probably be up for a few if the price is right!

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Great idea, but if you are talking about a circuit board with traces, you are going to have to turn the servo plugs 90 deg. so they can be soldered to the board. If you used a two sided board you could have the signal traces on one side and the power and ground on the other side in the form of a bus. Or do you plan on using three wire from tx plug to rx plug; that would be really easy for a diy type person.

Two thumbs up for one heck of a GREAT idea!

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

I agree, great idea, just one question, will it be a "one size fits all" or will there be different boards depending on number of channels?

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

If I were going to market these, I would take the top 1 or 2 recievers from Futaba, Jr, Hitec and Airtronics and try to start with that. I would maybe take preorders to get a special rx made.

Being that this topic has now had close to 1000 views, it might be time to start protecting your idea with a patent application....I'm just sayin'

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Have made some really cool improvements/upgrades to the design. It will be universal and even easier to use. I will have to fill you guys in next week. I am leaving town for an unknown amount of time.

 I build stuff for the military and one of my products is going through testing at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Every time I go I never know how long I will be gone.

 I appreciate all your input and would like to continue to receive it along with any suggestions or comments. My theory has always been "no one is as smart as everyone". I will keep you posted on my progress.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

One change I'd suggest. Plugging in and out will eventually wear out the pins on the reciever. So a single big connector that stays with the reciever and lets you plug in all the servos in one motion would be a good move, similar idea to the computer connector pictured on page 1.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Great , very cool.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Great idea and I think it will be a very useful gadget...just that me being in South Africa would make it hard to get some. A question to all the people who moves receivers between planes. What is the easiest way to tie them down to not have a big issue getting them out. At the moment I tie down my Rx with a cable tie and each time I move it I cut the cable tie and move it and cable tie it again. Is there an easier way? For the "satelite thingy" for the Ghz Rx (don't know what it's called) I found a solution. I glued a piece of velcro to the back and the other piece of velcro to the plane so I just stick it back and it's easy to get out again. But the main Rx unit is still a headache.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Wow, I think you really have something there!! I would absolutely follow it up!! Stef, Rockford Il.

RE: New product for multiple airplane owners
 

Orbit makes exactly what you want +it has provisions for dual battery supply see&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

<font color="#000080" size="2">The Orbit Power Jack 6014 is a 14 channel servo-amplifier / buffer with double voltage regulating for the receiver 6014. It will be directly plugged by 42 precision jacks onto the 6014. The power will be supplied via two MPX high amp connectors from the battery(ies) or the switch harness(es). Because of its small and lightweight construction, the Power-Jack 6014 is particular suited for middle and large models with longer wiring and digital servos.

I like your idea! i'm in if the price is right.

Where did the heck did you find that I looked online and couldn't find it.
