    I've so far managed to avoid any Apple product. I don't like the way they tie you in to their proprietary software, it stinks IMHO.

    FBL Gyro MSH Brain-Ikon Rescue Sneak Peak

    The iKon is very good value, especially so now it's got the 'full house' rescue option. I'm think it comes in a bit cheaper than the Spirit or Spirit Pro. The Spirit has more advanced rescue options and a snazzy metal case but it's a close call between the two now that they added rescue. It's...

    Happy to help. Tx programming can be a bit daunting at first and the 9X user interface isnt the most intuitive from what I've heard, but once you get into it I'm sure it will all click into place.

    There are lots of end user written manuals and how to guides to be found online. Google took me to this page: 9XR Pro Manuals - openrcforums

    I'm afraid not. They all use proprietary 2.4GHz protocols DSM2 or DSMX wont work with them.

    What current copters? 2.4GHz protocols are generally brand specific, you can't bind 'anything to anything'.

    General Rudder not working

    Almost certainly something in the setup of the AR7210. As mentioned in my last post if gain was at zero the servo would not move, so that's one thing to check

    General Rudder not working

    Maybe you have the tail gain turned right down close to zero?.. The tail servo won't move if you have gain right down.

    FBL Gyro Spirit V 2.0 software and firmware released

    I flew mine for the first time since updating to V2.0 firmware.. it's flying great, but it was great before too so hard to say if there is any difference. https://youtu.be/oWpbxQwE7aY

    General i need serious help

    You need to set the FBL controller up. Disconnect the wires to the motor to stop it powering up and remove the servo plugs from the FBL.. now you can connect the FBL to your PC and start the setup process without and danger of anything going nuts. only connect the servos back up once you get to...

    Just cover it in concrete, it makes a better takeoff and landing area than flower beds do. Also less maintenance so more time for RC;)

    General Please Help. Trex 150 and 250

    Yes, the Neuron does look like a bargain. when i last checked though it didn't have an 'on all the time' option for self leveling stabilisation when in heli mode. It only had self leveling during rescue activation... Possibly firmware updates changed this but it was true when the Neuron was...

    Hello from South East Kansas

    Hi Terry, welcome to the addiction! It's the fact that it's hard that makes it rewarding, but it will 'click' and it's a great feeling when it does. Make sure that you get LOTS of practice in before trying the Goblin 380, that's a very big step up from the Blade 120 in so many ways. The AR7210...

    FBL Gyro Spirit V 2.0 software and firmware released

    I've just updated to V2.0. It was a straightforward process however the instructions are correct insomuch as the mechanical swash setup needs doing again. The plus side is that the new software is much easier to use and addresses all the niggles I had about the original version, so setup should...

    General Unable to Fly - First RC Plane

    Yes, that motor should be fine with a 10x6.. Ideally with any new setup you would put a wattmeter on it to check all was well but failing that give it a short run under full power and check that the motor is not so hot as to be uncomfortable to touch.
