Hi all I'm building a align th70 I'm putting a microbeast ultra in it I'm not sure which rx to fit to it. I'm using my new spektrum nx10 so it needs to be a spektrum rx any ideas which one I should use??

Cheers how big are they where do you put yours, have you got a 700 size heli I'm still not sure how and where to place the wires On mine. I'm using the align 2in1 regulator glow so I've got wires from that then wires from an rx to the microbeast. I want to have all wires internal but not catching bearing servo arm etc.

Oh I've just checked I need more than an spm9745 as it's a 700 size just a satellite rx won't be good enough

I have two 700 size both with one satellite each they seem to work fine.

Oh OK where do you put the rx so the carbon frame doesn't gove the rx any interference

you are correct 700 size needs a spektrum SRXL2 receiver, I use the ar7200bx so a satellite dose work. but I mount on of the frame toward tail boom.

Yes that would work I've got the microbeast attractive so as I said in my first message I'm looking for a rx to work on the mb in a full carbon frame and canopy. As the tn70 has a carbon lined canopy

Carbon and metal frames will block radio reception and there is nothing that can be done about that... To address it, your antenna's must be external from the craft or on a side that doesn't have carbon or metal that can block the signal. Since that means that in some direction, the body of the aircraft will also cause a radio "shadow", this is where a satellite comes into play. You'd place the satellite in a location that isn't blocked when the aircraft is in that orientation. Using a receiver or satellite won't be affected by the size of the craft, they don't influence how strong a servo is, they only have a limit on the number of channels they support.

If you have the Ultra. it should have come with the SRXL2 adaptor. I used a AR8020T with a SRXL2 remote. The adaptor plugs in the side of the MB and the other servo plug end plugs into the SRXL2 port on the 8020T. You won't have any issues that way. I'm using that setup on an 800. Hiding all the wires on the TN70 may be a trick. Did you get the super combo?

Hi I did not get the adapter in the top combo the microbeast altra did not come with one but I did get all servos engine and exhaust and the microbeast. So your saying the Adaptor cable and an SRXL2 is all I need. I've never setup a flybarless my previous experience was a align 600n flybared. A mate years ago upgraded it to flybarless with a kbar. But as its a copy I don't want to use it so after I get my new tn70 flying I'll buy a new microbeast and refurbish it with it and all new bearing etc.

No not with mine but I've already ordered one and a srxl2 as well. If I put the microbeast on the giro tray first then the srxl2 on the end the aerial will be away from the carbon.

I'll recheck the box I'm away from home right now but I've ordered one anyway if it turns out I do have it in the box I'll use it when I redo my align 600n
