@funtana:
I just used some hot glue(easy to remove) and glued it to the hole where the crystal used to be. Fits like a charm, and the button is not too easy or to hard to push. Though the led is kind of sticking out.
Got to do some testing today. And I gotta say, I'm not really happy about this, sadly. I really had my beliefs in this system after the reviews.
But I gotta say I'm a little bit dissapointed.
First of all, did some range testing at the field. Could walk away maybe 10-15 meters with the range-test mode, and the antenna vertical.
I was a little bit sceptical then, but decided to try it out anyways, and fly carefully on crash course to safe places just in case i would loose control.
So I took it away from range-test mode and got flying. Everything seemed fine. Until... I did some approach legs, and a couple of meters before the airstrip, I had no control for about 1 second. This is when I decided to take it down for landing, and took a new approach. Got a little bit far away, and then it happened.... I lost complete control.
So I ran forward, and strecthed my arms forward, and LUCKILY I got the control back again. So I landed it and everything went fine.
But oh my I was sceptical to this system at all.
Since this was a hack module, I thought that maybe I had done some bad soldering or something(though I do not think so), and checked it. It looked all fine.
So then I decided to try out the external module I got for a JR DX9, which I was allowed to borrow this season. But, this refused to bind in any way. I had no idea why. At this point I was really starting to regret that I bought this.
But, I would not give this up.
So luckily I had bought a couple of receivers to this system.
So I decided to try another. Same type, the 8ch.
I got it in, and binded (with the 7C, the DX9 still would not bind). Then I started some range testing. And this was really looking better.
I started to walk away, with the antenna vertical. And at the most Im guessing I got away about 40-45 meters. But at all angles, the most I could go away was probably 35 meters. The manual said 30-meters. So I found this very much OK, since this was at complete ground level.
I and then I put it to the air, fairly sceptical, but I wanted to try this out.
And it seemed to work out great! Got to fly away pretty far, and no loss of control. So I am very happy with that now.
But, Im still not happy about the fact that my reciever is probably defect/faulty, and that the external module does not work.
I checked the external module and inside the was a loose plasticthing with some tiny metal-connectors on the side. This was fitted on the modules connector.
So I am going to contact Himodel, and hopefully get a replacement. I did not like this
But I will continue testing and using the Frsky system for sure, until I find out it is either crap or usable
