These are back in stock. Very nice radio. Bigger than the 8FGHS with a lot more room between the switches.

Very cool feature:

Version 1.3.1 is now available. This update has been in the works for quite a while and has been tested extensively. Gone are the days of tweeking settings. The default settings are optimal for 90% of the models out there. Reports from the field go from “Outstanding” to “Freaking Awesome”. Try it, you’ll like it.

Transmitter Setup (Allows Two Heading Hold Gains and One Rate Mode Gain. Controlled by the Gyro Switch.)

Later we will change it to use the Flight Mode Switch so the gain changes automatically when we change flight mode.

• System Setup/Switch Select: Gyro-Inhibited
• Function List/Gyro:
  • Pos 0: Positive 49 (Heading Hold Gain = 50%)
  • POS 1: Positive 58 (Heading Hold Gain = 60%
  • POS 2: Negative 50% (Rate Mode Gain = 39%)
  • Ch: Aux2
  • Sw: Gyro
• Function List/Servo Setup/Travel/Gyro: 100 100

These are just starting gains.

1. First, hover the model with the Gyro switch in Position 2 (Rate Mode) and adjust the tail control rod
   until the model doesn’t yaw consistently the same direction. If it consistently yaws nose left, shorten the
   rod and if it always goes nose right, lengthen the rod.
2. Now, hover the model with the switch in Position 0 (heading hold with higher gain) and raise the gain until the tail starts
   to hunt, or/then back it down until it stops hunting.
3. Now fly the model in Stunt Mode with the Gyro Switch in Position 1. Give it a workout. Raise/lower the gain until it is just
   below a value that causes hunting. Since your headspeed is probably higher, this should be a value
   that is lower than the Position 0 value.

So now you know what gain values you’ll need and your tail rotor control rod is the right length. Now you can go to the gyro screen and select the Fmode switch and set the values there accordingly. For example, if you ended up with a value of 49 in your hover test, you would set the value for Normal Mode to 49. In the stunt modes, set the value so the gain is as high as possible without hunting. Don’t forget to set Stunt 2 to a positive value.
Experiment with the Hold setting. You might like it really high.

Check  out the new instructions for the 3GX.

These pages are from the new 500 DFC Kit, RH50E02X which, oddly enough, does not include the 3GX.

I spent many hours removing all of the Chinese characters so it is easier to view.

The new instructions come in the new kits that have part numbers starting with RH.

The complete 500 DFC manual is available in 2 sizes:

Small: 10mb

Large: 125mb

The new JR XG11 radios are here. I checked the sticks and they’re a little better than the XG8. I don’t know why JR didn’t use the same gimbals they use in the 12X or even the 9503. They feel okay until you try to make a very small correction such as setting the pitch exactly at 50%. Then they stick a tiny bit. Other than that, it looks like a very nice radio.

Synergy E6/7 TT

Build it as a 600 or a 700. All the parts are there.

Nathan has taken a job outside of the hobby business. I can’t blame him. I think I might be the only guy around here that plans to work until I die. He will have great benefits and a good retirement plan. With three kids in school, it was now or never.

I will handle the web orders and phone sales along with everyone else. Please give the person who answers the phone a chance to help. If they don’t know something, I’ll be here to help. When it comes to part numbers, everyone here knows their stuff.

The new 600E Pro model is getting great reviews from our customers. The 3GX system is a huge improvement over the old 3G flybarless controller.

Not Flybarless and don’t want to be?

The 600E Pro is available in a flybar model too.

If you have a DSMX transmitter, check the PID which is located inside the battery compartment. A list of affected transmitters is at the bottom of this post. If you have a transmitter with a PID that is on the list, read the full bulletin here. DX8 owners have two bulletins to read. The other link is in the  DX8 section below.

Transmitters with affected PIDs may be found in the following products:

Blade 450 RTF (BLH1600), Blade mCP X RTF (BLH3500), E-flite Apprentice 15e RTF (EFL2725), Hangar 9 Alpha 40 DSM2 RTF (HAN4400), Hobbyzone Super Cub DSM RTF (HBZ7400), ParkZone Radian RTF (PKZ4700), ParkZone P-51D BL DSM RTF (PKZ2200), ParkZone F4U Corsair RTF (PKZ4600), Phoenix R/C Pro Simulator 3.0 with DX5e (RTM30R5510/RTM30R55101).

DX6i/DX5e/DX4e:
PID: HS010, HS011, HH011, HT011, HT012, HE012, HE101, HA101, HA102, HA103, HA104, HA105

I’m updating the 700 Part Finder to include Electric and Flybarless parts. For example, when you click on the washout base, it will open the standard washout base, however, the flybarless unit will be related and you can see it lower down on the page.
