Default Weatronics 2.4 is here

Its been a long wait but at last they are here, well, the Micro at least.

I received two of the first production Micro receivers (8 and 12 channel) plus the transmitter module.

The first manual is in German so it will take me day or so to (sort of) translate and get the systems up and running but first impressions are HIGHLY favourable.

With the Micro in production, the large programmable receiver wont be long and this unit takes the previous Dual Receiver, a highly competent device (both of my AW Hawks are equipped with them, perfect results) to a new level, not just 2.4 but telemetry and much easier servo programming plus many other enhancements.

More later but it seems the wait has been very worthwhile.

Regards, David Gladwin.

Hi David, which transmitters do the modules fit? Is there a list?

Thanks Geoff, that's certainly a different looking antenna.

Cheers, Rob.

Does the transmitter to module interface work in PPM or PCM mode? How are they getting 12 channels out of a Futaba?

I believe it is possible because on the 12 FG you have 14 channels 12 fully proportional channels and 2 digital (which would not work in PCM mode) so even if the TX has to be in PPM you still have 12 channels available.
