These are excellent ideas. Is there still interest here?

I'd buy an advertisement.

I'll happily remove the post. The forum is titled "Where to Buy". I thought it was appropriate. I wouldn't have posted it anywhere else.

Crashj007 - We are thrilled you like the manual and appreciate the support. We definitely spend time looking at all the solder joints and switch mounts after we install the backlight and clean up anything that isn't just right. We also do a calibration and radio test with the 8-Chan RX that ships wi...

Jon, Thanks for the info. I thought we were compliant, but it looks like we missed something. I appreciate you pointing this out. We'll get that fixed right away. Also, upgraded gimbal sticks, not the internal hardware. I'd love to find a drop in gimbal hardware replacement with bearings. I've searc...

Thanks Rob and dvogonen. cre8itiveleo - I'm sorry you feel this way. Our full intent is to be a strong contributor to this community. It is important to us. Please know that we've been fully transparent about our plans and made sure we had the full support of erazz before starting down this path. On...

Thanks MikeB. We include this disclaimer in the manual and in the terms and conditions that everyone agrees to before buying. We also made sure we had support from erazz for use of er9x (although he doesn't require this). That said, as you point out, it's probably a good idea mention this on the sit...

Here is an updated manual and an eepe file with some basic models to help get anyone new started. It is a work in progress, but a decent first draft. We wrote this to go with a pre-integrated 9x+er9x we sell, but it is written for anyone who has a 9x. We started with the er9x manual and added recomm...

cre8tiveleo - Great question. Financial support for the community is really important. I'm hopefully we can make more of an impact than just donating a nominal amount per radio. Our first attempt at this is a free LiFe battery cable package to any 9xforums member that makes a donation. We announced ...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that my brother and I recently opened our online store called ParkeFlyer. In celebration we want to offer 9xforums members a special offer during the months of April and May. One of our first products is a LiFe battery solution for the 9x and we would like to gi...

Hello,

I'm curious what the typical release schedule is for er9x. I always use r708 because it is the latest stable build. It seems like I'm falling behind the majority of folks on this board. Is there a new stable build in the works? Is it safe to use the most recent?

Thanks,
Preston

I along with many others, I hate the old antenna hole sitting on top of the controller...

If we don't go with making that a serial or USB port, how about installing an LED (for a field flashlight) and making it SW controllable?

Just a thought...

Friends,

I know of the Aurora 9x gimbal, but I haven't heard of anyone using them in the 9x. They are also kinda pricey. Anyone know of other options?

Here are the Aurora': http://www.lynxmotion.com/p-839-aurora-9-gimbal.aspx

Good flying.

Preston

Thanks. All good.

Success! For some reason channel 1 isn't being transmitted (regardless of what mix is on it). Channels 2-6 seem to be working fine. Once I moved off channel 1 I'm golden. Here is the cable I'm using, if anyone is interested. Tom's RC USBg cable - JR edition http://sim.tomsrc.com/page.php?7 As a bonu...

I've decided to focus on getting the 9x working on Windows (Mac OS, later). I've had some success. However, for some reason I can't get AIL output on any channel. THR, RUD, ELE, FLAPS, GEAR are fine. No AIL. I've checked my mixes and nothing is weird on AIL. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Preston

I can't get this to Open in Companion9x. It doesn't seem to recognize eemp. Anyone else having trouble?

I'm having great results with the ZIPPY Flightmax 1800mAh 9.9V 5C LiFePo4 TX Pack. I've been using my remote a lot and I go weeks without having to recharge it. The thing I like the most about this battery is it has really thin wires that fit perfectly within the 9x. The thing I like the least is th...

I can help. PM and e-mail is best. I also have some updated training videos and a manual on the list or areas I want to help. I'm located in Austin, TX.

Friends, The advancements made in this community are nothing short of amazing. To add to the fun, I'm considering designing and manufacturing a new transmitter/controller to match the level of software and hardware (main board replacements) being built or contemplated here. Is this of interest? I su...

I'd be very interested in all the details. Please post. Thanks!

Preston

Two questions: 1. Anyone having luck using their 9x with a simulator? I've seen the reports of PPM out issues with the standard TX/RX. Better luck with FrSky? Suggestions? 2. Anyone have a 9X USB interface working with Mac OS? My ultimate goal is to use my 9x on a commercial simulator (like AeroFly)...

I tried every possible test my brother and I could come up. The interference always happened on the same radio. I upgrade to FrSky. Works great!

Preston

Count me in. I'm actually been exploring the same thing. I'm no artist, though.

Thanks for all of the responses. I've definitely tried rebinding and multiple receivers. I haven't tried swapping receivers. I know that I don't get interference from a Spektrum. I do think I received interference from another radio at the park. The radio wasn't a 9x, but I don't know what it was. I...

I've confirmed that both models are the newer TM0002 module. Can you tell me more about the potential GUID issue? I've done some searches, but I'm not finding anything.

Thanks,
Preston

I'm on the road right now, but will report back asap. Thanks.

Preston

Friends, My brother and I both have a Turnigy 9x with er9x installed. My transmitter (regardless of receiver - I've tried several) starts responding in slow motion if the second T9x is turned on? Has anyone else experienced this or seen threads on this topic? If you can point me in the right directi...

This is a fantastic repository. Thanks!

Anyone have a template sample for rudder/aileron mixing?

Best,
Preston
