Re: Spektrum logo for module case

Re: Spektrum logo for module case

jong julle maak mos nou die mod kwaad met al die gepraat in vreemde tale.

Re: i want to replace a pod so i can use and slider instead

Finding the slider will be work for you ....you need to decide where you want it and then get something to fit in this space ...for the wiring, that is easy, take the 3 wires from the pot and place them on the slider. I can't remember what the value of the pot's are, but I think it is 5k, so get a s...

Re: Leader Hobby module for Turnigy 9X?

From the looks of it yes, but only way for sure is to try it. looks like the right one any way, and for $16 you can't really go wrong. if it does not work then you can always sell it on ebay :D

Temperature Drift / 9X, er9x, Turnigy TX Module, several RXs

I have two modules here, will test them, if one does not drift you can have it, but you should look at frsky like said above, the are great (and if you get the right ones you have telemetry as well)

You will NOT like my answer, but I will give it any way. Get a programer and flash a custom firmware.

I see your are already with LED lights ...Got mine from German supplier, and added a bridge rectifier to run my LED's lights, works great and better than the standard lights that was in before. For "hobby" work it is perfect.

I replaced the standard light with a LED one similar to this
The inter 12v is not nicely rectified and you have some flickering, but this can be solved easy. Currently I use a external light source and it works perfect for my needs.
