Of course in a year or so we will be using a 3D printer. Someone printed a complete plane recently.

There is a vid on youtube I saw the other day....

Maybe that's the look some flyer's want...?

An add-on lippy holder might be good...?

who said it is easy. ;) yep, even the current ersky9x board has one top right hole is off, but it is easy fix , file a little to one side , it slips in. I was not sure if that was the board or me... I ended up putting it in at a bit of an angle... That's one of the hardest holes to see with the wir...

I think from memory the ribbon makes contact with the underside top of the connector which may be a bit awkward to fix with hot glue....

Once it is fixed in place as with a balsa wedge then a dab of hot glue may help...

Not really, it's just brighter, better contrast, looks better, reads easier, other than that, you don't really need to change it out. it's all personal preference. That's good to know... If it's down to personnel preference I'd prefer to keep the 30 bucks in MY pocket.... Although I did break the c...

Is there any advantage in fitting the Optrex display...?

While I had mine open one time I just disconnected the wires from the board and hard wired a JST pigtail there. I know you can sometimes get JST connectors to plug in the wrong way round but at least I can see the wires now and check the red is going to red...

I find it handy if there is a long post and you want to quote part of it rather than fill space with the whole post with the copy and paste...

But it's not a big deal as you can use italics as long as you remember to turn it off before you type your reply...

I have that as well some times.. I tap the stick and it usually works even though the stick does not seem to move... Must be right on the optimum setting..

The voice mod has made things easier as I do not need to look at the screen now, just listen for the 'welcome'...

Tx battery is already hard coded, plays voice message 46 when it is low, and I know it works because it happened to me when flying.


Yes, I can verify this as well..Thanks, saved an embarrassing moment..

Is there a thread for the other boards yet...?

I found a way to remove multi pin components... You use a solder pot and fill it to the top.. Then hold the board on top of it and when the solder melts lift the component with tweezers... Probably ruins the board but is a good way to harvest parts...

With Ersky9x mine works as shown in my video earlier... I installed Open9x to give it a try and got a crackling muffled sound... Maybe I had the wrong sound files or something...? Put Ersky9x back and working fine again.. Wont mention the couple of hours I wasted having the wrong firmware selected i...

Been messing with the SD card trying to get voice on my SKY board... All I had to do was make a sub directory called 'voice'. Switched on and it talked to me right away... Left it there while I read some more and sh#t myself when the inactivity alarm went off... [BBvideo 425,350]http://www.youtube.c...

I had one lined up wrong and tightened the board onto it and stuffed it... I have a spare radio for bits and pieces and tried to change it... Could not get it off the old board... How do you de-solder four pins at the same time..? Anyway I took it apart on the board and replaced the inners with the ...

I fitted mine in the module box with the help of a Dremel...

Mine always took 2 or 3 goes to fire up with scrambled screen sometimes... Worse when it was really cold.. Even used my heat gun on it a few times... The ERSKY9x board cured all that and it fires up first time every time now...

I just cut a slot wide enough to get tweezers in... Works OK, only problem is if I miss the card slot the card will fall inside and I will have to open up to get it back...!

Got my board installed and working... Here's a few pics to wet the appetite of those waiting for there's..

Hmmm... waiting for the new board to arrive but am not quite so excited as I was before I read your post Scott....!
