Aurora 9 and Optima 9
Hi guys,
I noticed that I can control all my planes installed with the Optima 9 receiver with my Aurora 9 without changing model ??
Is this correct? Am I wrong in knowing that even with the DX7 this is not possible?
Then I must be able to control the other planes at the flying field as well? - I dont understand this...
So far I have been really impressed with my new Hitec gear but this worries me, that I can actually take off a plane programmed for another model?
Please tell me that I'm doing something wrong - I have binded the Tx and Rx's according to the manual and it worked fine.

The Aurora does not start transmitting until user has confirmed the correct model is in use, the name of which is well visible on the start up screen. (Model match as usedon DX7 issubjectto copyright/patent and has own drawbacks outlined in previous discussions).

ORIGINAL: fizzwater2 What exactly are these "drawbacks" to the model match feature that the DX7 has?

RE: Aurora 9 and Optima 9
Hi Jim,
No it's another Model name and not copied from another model.
Thanks again Alan for Your swift replies! So, what You are saying that model-matching is not possible in Normal mode, but is it in Scan mode, or is this just due to the scanning principle?
I must subscribe to the Hitec support forum wish list thread and look out for the software update then? Will that eventually result in change of receivers or are they "updateable" too?
Maybe You cannot answer as this is still on the wish list......
Thanks for all Your help guys!

Better than Model match in that when user relinks whenswapping between models, no lost/forgottenBind Pluge.g.

RE: Aurora 9 and Optima 9
Once you bind the Optima rx you never have to rebind it as long as you dont run the tx in scan mode. So you can have 10 Optima rx's and the tx will bind to them all once you do the initial bind in normal mode.
I dont have a bunch of planes so when I go to a new field I will run scan mode just to give the tx a chance to do wider scan for that location. Then go back to normal mode for flying.
The Aurora 9 is a very simple straight forward system to bind.
