Anyone interested in 40 Spektrum receivers, cheap? Doc

Yes...

I have a bunch of these 6 and 10 channel RX now and I love them!

Are you the guy that purchased them all? lol :)

Its more bout wanting more channels until you get to the size model that needs a buss board or a "Power Buss" RX to deal with the high power servos.

For shadowing tests you need to have the plane just a bit short of range test distance and see if any orientation causes loss of control. Itstedious and takes 2 people. But getting 3 antennae WELL separated will make shadowing all antennae at once impossible.

[Plastic_Aviator]

Ahh ok, I was figuring that the bigger the plane, the bigger the RX had to be for some reason, figured voltage, maybe? But I've noticed bigger RX's just mean more connection or AUX slots. I do have adequate spacing between the RX and motor as it will be sitting about 10 inches or more behind the motor, within the cockpit. I'll do a range check and see how it goes.

[fhhuber]

The bigger the model (and bigger the mass of metal in the nose called an engine) the more important antenna diversity" becomes

Antenna Diversity: Spreading out the antennae so there is little to no chance of all being in the shadow of any major mass of metal or fuel in the model at the same time.

That is really the main concern if the RX is otherwise reliable. Even the little 4 channel Spektrum RX intended for park flyers would have adequate RANGE and handle enough current to the servos. But it wouldn't have adequate separation of the antennae. It would be easy to have them both behind the 15cc engine (or even the appropriate brushless motor and/or its batteries)

AR710 if I remember is the old DSM2 with a satellite. With a 12 inch lead between satellite and main RX, you could get adequate diversity. I still use several of the 6 channel DSM2 RXs with my DX-18 and have no issues when installed properly.

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if the Admiral RX600SP 6-Channel DSMX would be OK to use on the big Hangar 9 Carbon Cub 15cc ARF?...I really want to use it but it just seems odd using such a small receiver for a bigger scale model. I'll be completing the model tomorrow and would rather use this receiver than a Spektrum w/3rd party gyro.

Specs,

Eflite Power 60
Castle Talon 90Amp ESC
6 Spektrum AR6180 Servos
Admiral 6s 5000

If anything I'll just use a Spektrum Ar7010 i have laying around.

Thanks!

To everyone who shops on Amazon with an Amazon Visa. I just picked up a 10 channel diversity receiver on Amazon through RCJuice and used my rewards points which I had a ton of, and am getting it for FREE!!
My favorite price!
Might be something you haven't thought of, but worth looking into.

I have three installed Lemon receivers, on in the Tigercat and the Avanti and recently I put one in the E Flite Spitty and got rid of all that AS3X crap as it was being more of a pain than a gain.
The new Spitfire has a receiver that was in both My Little Gals and frankly I don't trust it. Good enough for the work bench, but I'll be going with the 10 channel Lemon diversity receiver for $24 versus the Admiral version for $32, just makes sense.

I'm using six of them with zero issues, I used to buy the Spektrum and Lemon receivers on eBay but have had MANY of them brown out so I'm pretty sure they are culls...from now on all I'm using are the Admirals or Spektrums from a known vendor.

There is the exact problem buddy........Fleabag.....mean eBay knockoffs ;)
Haven't had any issues with my 15 + Lemons that came from BuddyRC. :Cool:

Now that the Admiral receivers have been out for a while now what is the general consensus?:Cool:or:Loser:

[fhhuber]

"Unknown reason" loss of control can sometimes be lack of adequate power supply to the RX and servos.

"Brown out" = user did not supply adequate power for the RX and servos. If the voltage is pulled too low, the RX system can't function.

After reading Twowingtj's post about using a Sat with a 10 channel diversity Rx it piqued my say-whut. :Confused:
Further digging I uncovered that my response of "no" in post #116 was correct for the early gen diversity 10 channel Rx's Lemon made but incorrect for the present offerings.
They now make the 10 channel diversity Rx with a Sat port and most likely the same for the Admiral.:Cool:

[Mitchesx]

Thank you. That makes me a little more likely to try it with this plane. I guess the reason most people use more satellites is to ensure that they acquire and hold the signal with more locations onboard. That was my thinking also. Most guys that fly gas planes with DSM2/DSMX fly with sats, I always figured that was best practice.

TwowingTJ -that sounds like an awesome plane!

[Twowingtj]

I have a few of the Lemon 10 channel with diversity antennae. I also use the sat reciever with diversity antenna with them. Four opportunies to acquire/hold the signal are always better than two. This is especially true with larger birds with big motors and large multiple batt packs. I am using this set-up in my 1/3 scale Fokker D-VIII. It has a 100cc equiv elec motor and is running four 5000mah 6S lipos. It's a 35lb bird with a 110" wingspan. It of coarse has its own seperate receiver packs as well. I have not seen any issues with the receivers handling giant scale servos.

I haven't used the Admiral versons yet as I haven't needed to get any new receivers since the Admirals came out.
