Hitec Aurora 9 in Jets ?
 

Hey guys,

I'm new to jets, I have about 2 months flying my shock Jet with a P60SE guided by my old trusty DX7. Now Ive started to build my second jet which is a ModelBau Usa Tornado and my third one is one the way also a ModelBau USA MB339.

I got the new Hitec Aurora9 for Xmas, and would like to use it in my Jets, but would like some opinions first. I see most of you guys use Futaba or JR.



Let me know what you guys think. All opinions greatly appreciated,

There is a chap in Australia who will tell you not to do it I believe...

I love my A9 in my jet. I have not had one problem.

So glad I got rid of the spektrum crap. No more looking at flight logs for fades and holds and no more 2 receiver batteries ,no more guessing the on board voltage during flight, no more 4 satellite receivers just to have a half way decent RF link. No more sending my transmitter to horizon every 6 months because it would loose RF link.

Thanks! That sounds great!. I did setup my 50cc gaser with it and it's a dream, really easy to program, and does anything you could think of.

Its about time you installed that damn Aurora 9 in your jets too, time to lay that dx7 to rest.

I had 55 flights JR spektrum on my Merlin 90 FEJ F16. Swapped out to Hitec Aroura and lasted 1.5 flights. I beleive the rx does not have the signal boost ability to send signal to the long servo leads like my elevators that failed full lock and game over!! have gone to Multiplex for my jets now FYI. Amazing 16 channel rx IMO and NO issues!

As far as I understand the difference between FASST and AFHSS is as follows:

AFHSS Explained

There are two ways it can work.

Normal mode, (default) uses the same 20 channels as when it was bound. This has almost instantaneous linking time, and you can operate redundant RX's if needed.

Scan mode, scans the band (79 channels) every time it turns on to pick the cleanest 20 channels to use. The link time is about 3-5 seconds, but you must cycle power if you lose power to either TX or RX (not brownout condition,) and you cannot use two RX's at the same time for redundancy

Therefore it can work as a Frequency hopping set, but restricted to 20 channels, therefor if the 20 being used become noisy after being selected it does not have the option of using those remaining, I am also not sure if the AFHSS uses two channels at the same time as FASST does or only oporates on one channel, looking at the 7 channel Rx it only has one aerial and my assumption is that it only uses one channel.

Can't agree with that !

Only one aerial say that's there is no possibility for a diversity system. That's all.

Works perfect in all of my planes and jets.. LOVE the telemetry and receiver voltage being displayed on the transmitter!!!!
