RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
BuschBarber, You haven't mentioned what manufacturer and model servos you have. After years of using Digital servos, I can tell you that the Whining is common and of little concern. In the case of the Pull Pull system, when the cables are directly connected to the servo arm, there may be equal tension on each side of the servo arm, but there is always considerable tension on the Output Shaft. Suffice to say that my servos are branded by an American distributor and well known. I agree that the Whining (capital W as you wrote it) may be common and of little concern to those who did not find the reason(s) for it. I still consider the whining (buzzing, noise) is not normal. I do not see whining servos at the club with dozens of models being activated. With a Pull Pull system there is no reason to have <u>"considerable" </u>tension on the shaft bearings. The tension should be minimal, the servo should have ball bearings instead of bushings and the cables (or any connecting) to the control surface should have minimum elasticity (preferably none atall). That can be easily accomplished wihout having slop. I agree the thread should return toitsinitial advertising for the radio system. Having proper control and servo installation is not a matter of chance or luck, it is a factual possibility. Zor <u></u> |

All I did is respond to inform the readers that I did not have any buzzing servos and I did not consider buzzing digital servos is a normal situation. A few that apparently have the situation posted some nasty comments about me. It only reflects on themselves. The Hitec A9 is from a reputed manufacturer and does not market buzzing servos. I traced one of the fellowsthat (inadvertently, I guess, informed us)he was using servos that cost him $3.59 . Thanks "rhd-RCU" for your post kindly helping to set the scenario correctly. Zor |

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
ABOUT "Fail Safe"
The selection of words "fail safe" is not really referring to safety of any kind when the command signals fail at the receiver. Manyradio systemshave no other choice than bring the engine power to idle or shut off the motor when the receiver is not picking up enough signal to demodulate it adequately (poor signal to noise ratio) and the last command is retained. That means if we had some control surfaces out of neutral they remained in their deflected position. That certainly does not provide for eventual normal glide conditions unless the model was already trimmed in a normal descent attitude. Anyone with free flight experience will remember the days when we balanced our models to glide on their own. I still believe we should aim to achieve that and I am one who does. I would like to see all control surfaces come to neutral and the model balanced such that it has some positive stability and given enough altitude aim toward a straight or shallow turning descent. A phugoid oscillation can be expected. It would provide a much safer flight attitude than a high speed spiral into the ground or a nose first contact. I can undestand fellows writing that they prefer to disable the fail safe even though I did not see any referrence to model balance for stability and gliding. I would encourage model aiplane pilots to test the ability of their model to establish a gliding attitude in the event of a signal failure. It should be done with plenty of altitude (height above ground) and from any model attitude (nose up or down or highly banked) and observe the model response and loss of altitude (height).to the degree that height can be estimated. It is of course understood that the above is not alwyays the ideal condition if a model is intentionally aimed at precision aerobatics where neutral stability is an advantage. Some have claimed that negative stability is helpful in pattern flying. I am not arguing against that. The main idea is to set their model for the style of flyingenjoyed most or have different models for different style of flying.That is quite obvious . . . is it not ? http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...wink_smile.gif Enjoy, Zor P.S.: Edited to correct some spelling. |

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
I have been a 100 % Hitec user since the first Prism came out. I have had multiples of this radio as well as the 7X’s when they came out. Upgraded to the Eclipse when they came out and I have just bought my second Aurora. I have been super satisfied with the performance and support from Hitec.
After my second Aurora I upgraded all software for the radio and receivers. I also swapped out all my battery packs to the Hyperion G3 LiFe receiver packs. I chose the Hyperion line because of the accessories readily available. Connectors and adaptor plus for charging and balancing to fit just about any compatible chemistry charger as well as the EOS Sentry which gives you a quick check on the remaining capacity of your receiver pack. In fact it will check Li-ion, Li-po and Li-Fe packs of all makes. You cannot depend on the telemetry voltage reading from the LiFe packs as I understand they may read above the cut off voltage right up to the end of their usable capacity. The EOS Sentry gives you a % of remaining capacity. I like being able to quick charge them at the field and being non volatile like the Lipo’s I feel comfortable with them permanently mounted in each plane. Dennis |
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Dennis,
I just read the Hyperion Owners manual for the EOS Sentry and it appears this device measures voltage to determine remaining power left in the pack. If that is the case, it is no better than an ordinary voltage meter when dealing with Life batteries. As you mentioned, the Life packs have a very flat discharge curve - they will maintain 6.6 - 6.5 V (2 cell) throughout the discharge process and then drop like a lead balloon. Therefore, I do not belive the device cannot accurately predict remaining power base solely on voltage. Many folks at my Club are using the Life Packs (A123, Hobbico, Hyperion) including myself and other Giant Scale (42%) Pilots. It is our understanding that the only way to safely use these packs is to charge fully, fly 2-3 normal flights, recharge and record number of mAh put back into the pack. Doing this creates a history of mAh used. You can then determine the average mAh usage per flight and how many flights your particular packs can safely support. If the EOS Sentry somehow measures something other than pack voltage it may be worthwhile and I stand corrected. Let me know if you have more info on it. I have lost several expensive planes due to battery pack failures/insuffiecient voltage so I am now extremly cautious in the area. Best Regards, Ken |

Best Regards, Ken I too have always checked my batteries regularly during a day of flying. Always have always will. I have never lost a plane due to battery failure. The EOS measures the voltage via the balance plug. This allows you to quickly scroll through the packs cell by cell and compare the voltage.. I use 3 differing battery capacities depending on size of aircraft. All three sizes take 40 to 45 % of the rated mAh when the EOS says 65% remaining. Some aircraft I get 8 or 9 flights before hitting that benchmark others 3 or 4 depending on the draw on those batteries. I suppose I could adjust the capacity of each planes battery pack so I could get the same amount of flights but it’s just as easy for me to remember how fast the battery capacity is depleted and adjust my flying/charging habits for each plane. The EOS is about $20 which is less than a decent voltmeter. Its quick plug the balance jack in and compare cells to each other. I have checked my lipo’s as well and it seems to be quite accurate when I recharge and note the power that has been returned to the pack. I don’t know the mechanics on how they accomplish this but I have cross referenced it enough times to say I have some confidence in the readings displayed. As I said what I am getting on the EOS I am confirming on my Thunderpower Chargers |

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Good morning All - quick question from me. I have been using the HP-22 to update my firmware -about to go into a 30cc YAK and dont want it dropping out of the sky (unnecessarily..). I have three receivers in various models currently - updated two of them with no problems but a third one just will not be "recognised" by the HP-22. I have read the pages here and elsewhere and no end of battery recharging, plugging/unplugging sequencing makes a jot of difference. It seems to me that the conclusions from these pages is that it is likely a faulty data port (first time I have updated the receivers/module).
Correct? If so, I may as well throw it in the bin since my local hobby store is so hopeless there is no way they will return to Hitec for replacement since I dont have the payment receipt although it's less than 6 months old. Another $100 down the drain due to **** quality control I guess... cheers Beej |

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
guys I'm wondering if any of you have had this issue: A friend of mine got his new Aurora like two weeks ago, and yesterday he told me that it has been like three times that he turns on the Tx and it just doesn't start up, the power light is on but the LCD is completely blank, this happened to me once but I didn't pay attention 'cause it never happened again, but with my friend's radio seems to me a little more serious. have any of you guys had this problem? A.T. or Mike: should he send his radio to service?</p> |
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
ORIGINAL: Wayne Miller Hi, My Aurora 9 transmitter beeps every time it switches between transmitter battery voltage and percent display, it does this about every minute. I've searched but can not seem find any reference on how to turn this beeping off. Does anyone know if this beep can be turned off, or can I program the display to have either battery voltage, or percent, so it won't keep switching and therefore (hopefully) won't beep? Thanks for your help. Fly4Fun, Wayne Hi, I posted the above on 7/27/11 and there was a follow up post 3871 . Also on 9/5/11 Michel's post 3893 asked about it as well. I've been very patient and keep hoping for a fix shortly. The last I heard from Hitec was Mike would be taking one out of stock and checking it out the next week. I haven't heard anything since from Hitec. Does anyone know what is happening? Is the proper procedure to start a separate thread identifying this Aurora 9 72Mhz problem? Thanks for your help. Fly4Fun, Wayne |
