RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Alan T,
Success, thanks for the info. It uninstalled successfully and I reinstalled the 1.10. still get a, (comdlg32.ocx or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing), statement upon install but it does not seem to affect the upgrades as I have already upgraded the A9 to v1.08(1), The Module to v3.01, and plan to pack planes in and out of the house this afternoon until I get all the Rx's updated to v2.01. If all goes well, I should be back in the air tomorrow. Rain and wind here today. Again Thanks AT, your posts are always very informative. |

Well Folks,
I may never know why I lost the signal to the plane. I did find two issues that could have contributed, but, upon wiggle testing neither one of the two produced a glitch or power failure. One was a melted connector, that could have happened from my quick charger which I have expressed doubts about in previous post. But also, I may have gotten it a little too hot when putting shrink wrap around the connector. The other was the connector from the switch did not have as tight a fit in the Rx as I would like to see. One of the terminals in the connector fit quite loose really but when wiggled, it did not break contact. I have updated all the radio equipment with the latest Hitec updates. Spent some time double checking connectors in my other planes. All seem to be working well at this point. One thing I have not mentioned, about 1000 yards from the airfield resides a Television Tower. but it has created no issues in the past. Could be a first time though. Also, at the time of the loss of radio signal, there was a Thunder Storm about 40 miles to the west of my location. In fact by the time I found the carnage, got back to the pits and loaded planes in the trailer, (about an hour), the rain, wind, and lightning began to arrive. I'm out of ideas, so at this point I'll just except it at face value and return to flying. Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield. I was the bug this time.[&o] Pics of the terminals and carnage below. |

you may very well have found your issue, in the last 4 years i have purchased a number of 5 cell nimh,s and three of those packs had bad connectors , loose to the point of losing connection ,fortunately i run two batteries on all of my gassers and found the issue when testing each battery before flight Mike ,continue onward , very pleased with my A9 one of the first systems sold and still no issues , and i still have not updated the system, so i dont put any stock into those that say there is a software issue. system is solid |
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Hi
I am presently finishng up a TopFlite Elder 40 . It will have a Saito 56 as a power plant . It will also be inverted and I want to install an on board digital glow driver . As for the connections , no problem . It,s the programming that has me puzzeled . I want to connect it to my throttle channel , useing a aux channel #6 , programming it with the throttle . I would like it to work at idle up to 1/4 throttle , no switch involved . I have attempted several times and without much succes . Any help would be appreciated . Thanks for looking in Michel |
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Michel,
I'm trying to think. I have my timers set so that they come on only after I hit about 7% throttle or more. It seems like you may be able to set a Pmix to have your Aux channel energized when below 25% throttle only. Not sure I'll have to play with my radio and experiment. Hopefully that may give you some ideas. |
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Doesn't your onboard "digital" driver have an adjustment like mine do so that you set them when to go on and off?? Just turn the small dial . Or a "set" button on a Y or a cahnnel directly mixed to throttle.

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
You probably should stick with something other than A9. You already know everthing so hard for guys like you to move on to new technology.
I have never seen Mayberry bash another brand. He pretty much stresses the facts about Hitec stuff. Aurora 9 problem free here 1for 18 months and hundred of flights! Jim D |

your battery status may be set up to switch and beep by the factory , 72mhz requires more current to transmit than 2.4 ghz so they may have it set so you check you battery level more frequently since the A9 uses a 6 cell battery |

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Mike,
That was for a post about a day or so ago, the guy was totally ripping Hitec about he was glad they were not the Pioneers. Well I think Futaba had they're hands in 2.4 for a few years before they entered the RC hobby game and they still had glitches. Two I can think of was the high end receivers over heating or just not handling heat well. Lets not forget the ID code thing that could put multiple radio's on the same channels, but I guess these were not problems? Brown outs from Spek aren't or weren't a problem nor were fraid wires by Spek and Airtronics? I guess if you go to the Horizon service bulletins none of these are problems either. Don't get me wrong, I personally don't have a problem with any of the companies as long as they are willing to fix the problems. I just happen to like the Aurora 9 the best. :D Andy |

I'm hoping it will be a simple softeware fix, or he can find a method to turn it off. It is annoying and I hope it has not been done on purpose by the factory. Thanks for your suggestion.

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Well guys,
I did not fly this week end due to weather and other interuptions. However, I took my Tx and another plane equipped with an Optima 9 this time. I did a range check with the TX on power down. I walked 310 feet before loosing signal to the plane. I walked back about three feet and the plane reaquired the signal before the 90 seconds expired and the TX went to full power again. I don't know what anyone else is seeing as the max distance on power down but, I felt this was pretty good. |
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Ihave two A9s and a mix of ten Rxs in 6, 7 and 9 channel versions. Started flying the A9 in March 2010.
No problem getting 100 paces range check on power down. Flys to the range of my eyeballs on lots of different type models, electric and 4 stroke. Ieven had one of the original March 2010 Rxs where the little BODA antenna wire was not well supported where it went into the BODA body. A few times my plane would fly well but not taxi back from the far end the runway. Range check at the field with the plane on a safety table was always good. After more than 150 flightswith no problems Inoticed one day that the little wire had fallen off. So Ihad made only God knows how many perfect flights with part of the antenna missing. Hitec improved the BODA assembly early on but Iforgot to put the recommended silicon fillet on the old one Ihad. They gave me a free new antenna for the one that lost the "stinger"! So the link is good for sure! Enjoy, Jim D |

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Should've been clearer. I downloaded the latest manual on Optima receivers and was trying to print a copy for my files. When I print the " middle " section does not print. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem. Are these docs formatted differently ? Thanks again.

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Or try "shrink page to fit"...something like that. Perhaps.

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
Well I have been using my A9 and and 5 receivers almost since they hit the market. I have not had a single blip of any kind. I did do the first update that came out and today I did the most recent updates on the radio, module and all my recievers. Updating is so easy and when your done you have the latest and greatest. By the way I also use opti kill switches and have never had a problem. I do the normal proceedures to keep high voltage away from my recievers though.
I seldom post but just want to state my experience and thank Mike and A.T.for all the work they do to make sure we are up to date on this equipment. |
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
HPP-22 question , any recommendations on the USB A to USB MINI B cable , does it need to be 3 foot or less as the instructions recommend , i have found many that are 6 to 6.5 feet long , thanks for any info
|
RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
I don't think a few feet would matter but go to monoprice A dot com online retailer and for under a dollar each plus a couple dollars shipping you can get you and your buddies proper cables
So really for much less than a dollar Hitec left it out. That is pretty sad.. |

Being left outnot only saves on package size & cost, it savesadditional clutterin many user****wers & boxes which are alreadycrammed full of spare computer, TV, radio&telephone leads. (including mine - already had x7) As always, the shorter the cable between any PC and a USB device the better, thisas there is less resistance. Alan T. |
