Scale Soaring UK

I am considering buying a new transmitter. At the moment I am using a Spektrum DX10T which I have to say has been trouble free, I also have some 20 recievers for this radio , so changing everything over requires some consideration. I also use a JR PCM12 but mainly for power only.

I am considering either a FrSky X9E which looks exceptional value for money or a Jeti DC-14 or DC-16 which looks quite expensive but are known to be reliable. But is the Jeti at 4x the price 4x as good a tranny.

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Barry

Cliff. Thank you for your reply.
Am I correct in thinking that the X9E is a Trannis but in European Tray form. I prefer the tray type tranny for Gliding.

Is it possible to extend the recievers from 8 channel as I probably need 10 to cover most eventualities. If I were to get the plug in module for my existing recievers is it just a case of plugging it in the back and add the extra aerial. Presumably when you select a certain model it would work out weather you were using a FrSky receiver or a Spekky one.

Just ordered X9E. Many thanks for all your help.

Can you get a hitec module for taranius?

Don't know , but you can get a JR one which will do for my Spekky stuff.

On the FrSky site they list different modules.

I don't even know weather i'm going to like it or not ( hope so ) It a dam site cheaper than the Jeti I was thinking of. About a grand in fact.

If you can wait till June you can have a butchers when I'm down.

Jim,
Not from, Frsky, but there may be a 3rd party one. I will inquire.

BC

Hitec module from here.

On the RC LIFE website it shows a Futaba-Hitec plug in module for £21-50p.

Barry

BC, looks the job. Bit pricey though.
Is a module for JR radios compatible with taranis? It says JR radios. Would that also plug into a 9x2?

BH that's for a futaba radio to use frsky receivers, I would the module to covert to hitec receivers.

Interesting I suppose I have no excuse not to buy one if out works with my hitec and futabna receivers.
When are you down Barry? Would like to have a look at your new radio.

Arrived today. £257 Plus delivery.

Looks a nice piece of kit. If only I knew how to work it??

Still lots of help on You Tube, just have to think out of the box a bit. If you can program Multiplex 3030/4000 you should have no trouble with this.

Jimbo. The dealer I bought this off lives in Newquay so not far for you. Message or txt me 07826 523712 if you want his details. Advertises as RC Life.

I also bought a Vairo for an extra £18.30 , bargain me thinks.

Think I will start programming something small rather than my 7Mtr ASH 25.

Barry

Whish I was Cliff.

Says the Lady who got Bernie to program her new Jeti Tx for her.....(or maybe it was a dream)

We all know it takes longer when you get older, even if you keep your young looks

That was proof of concept

Still had to finalize the set-up to my exacting standards

Thanks to Bernie for the help though

HHHmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Settle down now.

Would anybody know which external module I will need to be able to use Spekky and JR recievers please.
