MAJOR 2.4 Ghz Spread Spectrum Release! A FlyingGiants Exclusive!

[Ronbo]

Can the conversion use the smaller spectrum recievers? IE, park flyer style like the Dx7 has or is the ar9000 the only one it can use at this time? (in april?)

[Redwings]

I am so glad Futaba spent so much time and research dollars on the MZ and is getting left in the dust by JR!!

[Uh_Oh!]

Just to clear up a reciever compatiblity question that's been rattlin' around in my mostly empty head...

Will the Futaba module work any of the AR7000 Spektrum recievers? Even if they originally were for the DX7? (I've still got this positive/negative shift thing going on...)

Thank you to Paul for the technology.

I just read this:
For the new Spectrum JR, Futaba-Hitec modules...... The module systems are DSM2 technology, they are not compatible with DSM1 receivers, so the AR6000/BR6000 for the DX6 TX will not work with the Spectrum JR, Futaba-Hitec module TX systems. Can't be used with your inexpensive 6ch Spectrum Park Flyer RXs (not so good).

Paul,

I have seen no mention about ModelMatch and ServoSync with the modules.

I assume that the support for those features in in the DX7 is not available in the modules.

It looks like a comparison between a DX7 (and a mythical DX9) versus a 9C or 9303 with a module be something like:

Faster Servo Response DX7
ModelMatch and ServoSync DX7
Use 72 hz and 2.4 G hz Module
Timers set to throttle Module

Any other differences?

The AR6100 parkflyer receiver is DSM2, lighter and smaller than the AR6000, and will work with these modules.

The modules cannot work with the DX6 parkflyer RX. But they can work with the 6100 DX7 parkflyer RX. It is a light weight, small 6 channel RX so is perfect for your small planes and foamies. The module system will cover foamies to Giant Scale.

Not much dust since this is a Spectrum system, not a JR system. Horizon is the distributor not the manufacturer. It's obvious the transmitters are JR units, that's what he started with, but the big story is Paul is making these compatible with all of the major brands.

BIG PROPS TO PAUL!!!!!

The lack of compatability with DX6 receivers is a problem unless Spectrum or Horizon is going to offer free/inexpensive trade in upgrades for these "older" RXs

There should still be a market for that receiver since there will be a lot of entry level pilots using the DX6 as a beginner radio. A couple of extra receivers are always a good thing to have when you fly foamies, it's nice to have a back-up ready.
