Gotta be some way of warning you that you are about to crash. At least, a setup costing more than my car ought to.

Well,I had tried plugging my batteries into the channel 8 and 9 for the dual battery setup before I put up my question on this, and the switch going into ch8 would not power the radio. Which is why I asked the question. After Bob and AT replied I went and tried it again. Exactly the same setup. This time it worked perfect. Go figure!!!

Does anyone know if Hitec will have a carry case for the A9?

JIMF14D

No idea about Hitec but Ibought a nice black case on Ebay for about $20 plus shipping. Fits well with room to spare for some extras if needed.

Not at present. A number of users have referred to the
Pelican Case 1450 as being waterproof/shock resistant.

Here is a 9ch radio that will take JR modules and has 8 model memory, all for well under $100.
"2.4ghz,JR COMPATIBLE,TURN​IGY 9 CH RADIO,TRANSMITT​ER,JR"
Please no bashing, actual facts would be appreciated as to why I should pay 5 times as much for an apparently similar TX.

Michel

Hi

Sorry ,.................... but here,s WHAT ?,......................... did I miss something again [sm=75_75.gif]

"2.4ghz,JR COMPATIBLE,TURN​IGY 9 CH RADIO,TRANSMITT​ER,JR"
under $100

JIMF14D

Well one point is, would you give up a big part of your flying season to ship it back to Hong Kong to get it repaired or to get a part?

Even if they would repair it my guess is shipping round trip could be month. Ijust bought a charger. Took 2 weeks one way. Hope it never fails. And yes it was a bargin. Ineeded a charge adapter....wait is one month. Still a bargin.

Upfront costs are not the total flying experience. I am a guy who keeps two Tx and five airplanes at the ready so I can fly when the weather is good. $100 "savings" is meaningless in the big picture of RC life.

If you buy a good name brand TX for $150 and fly it for 5 years it cost you $30 a year. Probaby less since if you are like me you can sell it on Ebay for $50 when you get a new one.

And if you need it fixed, Hitec will answer your email in one day and fix it in one week for a low price.

And no Idon't have a house full of 20 year old RC history (aka junk).

That works for me.

Is there supposed to be a link or something?

dbcisco

I will assume it is just as good as any other TX unless some kind of proof it isn't is provided.
[link=http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8992&Product_Name=Turnigy_9X_9Ch_Transmitter_w/_Module_&_8ch_Receiver_(Mode_2)_(v2_Firmware)]Here is a link to one of the sellers.[/link]

JIMF14D

Well, put your money where your mouth is and buy!

dbcisco

That assumes that both will break/fail.
I have quite a few Futabas and even cheap 4ch radios (even a Wakera!) that have run flawlessly for years. Are you saying that the Aurora will probably fall apart? and attribute HiTec's poor quality to this $100 TX?
So you are willing to pay an extra $300 to get it back sooner when it breaks, as opposed to saving $300 and buying a new one on the slim chance it breaks which will still put you $200 ahead.
Not getting the logic here.
I will sell you a Turnigy 9X with a one year guarantee and fast replacement (shipped from USA) if it is defective for $250. You get all the benefits you mention and you still save money.

Michel

Hi

Than what the hec are you waiting for ,..................... go get it man , don,t let the grass grow around youre feet , It,s only Less than $100 , you get braging rights , at the field , Don,t forget to tell youre friends . WoW . And don,t forget to start youre own thread , Bye Bye Bye

I,LL KEEP MY AURORA 9 THANK YOU VERY MUCH , and all the tek help here .

That felt good ,....................... can I have another

Michel

JIMF14D

Hey, Isupport that approach. He should buy one, brag about it at the field, show those A9 and 12x guys what a real system can do and start a new thread: Life with my Hong Dung System.

Mean time Iwill enjoy my Hitec Auroa 9 that is both "better and more"!

Jim D

Michel

Hi

Ya ,................................ and it even comes in a box

udet1918

There are YouTube vids of the Turnigy 9x showing some real issues not to mention it seriously looks like it is worth under $100. Not a flame just the truth. Sorry

Ron

Michel

Hi

Hey don,t worry ,........................... he covered his ***** , he used the word , " APPARENTLY LOOKS LIKE " , GEEEEZZZZZ


And on the weather front ,............................. Dam it,s hot .

Michel

dbcisco

Links would be appreciated. Thanks for the real input Ron. I should have known that a WWI flier would be one of the few to be a gentleman.

Since all the others can do is bash, I assume they are just into spending money to prove they are better than everyone else.
"All mouth and no brains" as my dad used to say.

I also love that the HiTec is made in the Philippines and not China, such a big difference.[]
