Morning Lads . I have a dilemma that is not truly unexpected. I began fling some nearly 40 yrs ago with a little club in Orangeville Ontario.
Backthen I used Futaba equipment , the old crystal and clothes line peg and flew glowplug engines. Nowfamily didnt get in the way, but life did change and my hobbies disappeared. Glory be I am now retired and getting going again. Hence
Newbie Bob at 69 yrs old.
I am going all electric and this is where my dilemma comes into play.
I have decided to go from the ground up and aside from an NX 8 just purchased the new
Spektrum iX14 Tx . Now this is where my issues start because I am technology challenged according to my grandsons. I have purchased Spektrum Rx's and signed on for the AS3X and safe tech . Seemed like a good idea. I have also purchased an assortment of planes . High wing beginners and a few for the futre so they are not going to be in the disconinued lines.
Anyway here things get more electronically muddied for me. Do I have to stay with Spektrum rx's or are others compatible with the DSMX systems. Do I need to stay with Spektrum for adding gyros etc and what about servos. Everything was analog back in the day, now they have digital too.
ESC'S, BEC'S SBEC'S. What can mix and match and what has to be the same as my Tx.
Yes my DVD still flashes 1200.
Which brings me to plugs and connectors.
EC5 EC6 XT60 Deans etc I'm sure I will need adapters . How high should I go on my ESC ratings.
I think I understand the battery aspects for S and C and the safety rules around them and unplugging them once done flying etc.
I imagine by now you can see my dilemma.
So after reading books and Google is my co-pilot I am still in a foggy spot. This is where I ask for the guidance of the membership for input , answers, or direction to resources. You may think this post a bit lengthy but consider it took me an hour to write it.
My best to all
