Tx Compatibility Question
I'm relatively new to the whole rc heli thing. I currently fly a Blade MSR and am loving it. I want to take it to the next level. So my question: isa Spektrum DX7 Tx compatible with a Walkera 4f200lm? If I understand it correctly, I believe the receivers are interchangable in the heli.... is this true? In that case, I would assume I need an AR6100 or something of the like.Please help me understand how all the pieces fit together, as I said I am relatively new to this. If there is already a post somewhere else about this, please point me to it. Thank you very much!

RE: Tx Compatibility Question
DX7 is discontinued. But as a rule of thumb in 2.4, Tx and Rx are only compatible with the same brand. Even then, there are some compatibility issues.
So if you had a DX7, you would need a Spektrum DSM2 or DSMX Rx.

So, is there a way to install a Spektrum rx on a Walkera branded heli?

While the DX7 is no longer sold by Horizon, you can still use it and even send it in to be upgraded to DSMX, if you wish, for a fee.

RE: Tx Compatibility Question
Walkera is the brand name, and so the Walkera heli has a walkera rx on it already. Is it possible to switch out the walkera rx and install a spektrum rx so that I could use a DX7 with the heli. Right now, you have to use all Walkera equipment. If it isn't possible, that's okay, but I'm just trying to understand if it's possible or not.
Thanks,
Sam
