Danny,

What is the maximum number of amps the AR9000 receiver can handle? IE. can it handle a 40% without a power box / second receiver like the other top JR receivers?

Also I read somewhere that both of the data ports on the bottom of the receiver can be used as battery ports, is that true? I would like to run 8 8611a's for flight controls (5-6 inputs) + 2 standard servo's for power and choke and have the batteries going through regulators and into 4 ports of the receiver (each regulator has two outputs since the connector can only handle 2 amps)

Could this receiver handle this? or would I need to go to two receivers?

Thank you,

Rob

I don't have a figure on the amp rating, however it can easily handle 40% aircraft and larger without the need for any other devices. The connectors are the limiting factor, not the receiver. The 9000 has 2 ports below the 9 channels, 1 is the battery the other is the data port, but you can plug a battery into the data port as well. The receiver can handle that without any problems.

I just received Spektrum 9ch module for my 9303 and an AR9000 receiver. I could not find any manual on the receiver other than the book that came with the module. I can see where each channel port is and I understand that one of the ports underneath is for the switch harness, but what is the Data port for? I am going to use this receiver in my Kangaroo jet that currently has an R2000 Synthesized receiver. I am using two battery packs for the receiver and have one plugged in to Ch10 and the other plugged in to Bat, on the R2000. Can I just use a Y harness on the Bat port or should I plug the second battery into a Y harness with on of the channel ports? What about the Data port?

The data port can be used as a battery slot and also used with the Spektrum flight log device. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=SPM9540

As I read the Spektrum module manual, I can set the Failsafe default, for the throttle, by setting the Throttle and Throttle Trim levers to their Minimum positions and then Binding the receiver to the Transmitter. is that correct? For my JetCat P80 turbine, this would kill the engine. I need to set up my P80 turbine ECU to meet AMA Failsafe requirements.

I did a Range Check, with the AR9000 in my Kangaroo Jet. I moved away to 90ft, with the transmitter on, pressed the Bind button on the module, and checked for control movement. Everything checked out at 90ft and 150ft. I assume that means that I have sufficient range?

Are there any Spektrum Module or AR9000 Receiver upgrades that have been recently introduced to correct problems that might have been discovered since the release of the product? A friend of mine asked me about this after reading about that subject somewhere

dsnyder

Yes, fail safe positions are set during binding. It sounds like your range is adequate. No, there are no updates on the modules or AR9000 receivers. They've only been out for a week, but have been used by our testers for quite some time with no problems.

Danny, what is the proper bi=nding procedure for the AR9000? Also, can it be done with all of the servos plugged in? I can not get the lights to flash on the Rx. Thanks, Craig

dsnyder

Plug the bind plug into the bind/battery port, power up the receiver and the lights on the receivers should flash, turn the TX on while holding the bind button. Once the lights go solid it is done, remove the bind plugs. Be sure to hold all channels in the desired fail safe positions through the entire bind process. If you are binding through a switch, the switch must be a 3 wire switch and needs to be 3 wire all the way to the receiver bind/battery port. Yes, binding can be done with the servos plugged in.
