I was looking at the 9ch rx and wanted to know what the B/TM port is for..Im guessing the B is for battery...what is the TM for ?

Also how do the channels correspond to the tx ? meaning on my 9c channel 1 is for ailerons..2 is for elevator etc....the xlink rx is laid out a little different...

Default mapping is 1:1, just like any RX you have now. However the XPS RX is able to remap channels, meaning you can make chan1 chan3... pretty cool feature, but could get confusing when switching from plane to plane.

It's actually an 8 channel RX. The B/TM is the telemetry port. You will only get 8 channels with a 9C.

My Dad picked one up in Toledo for me but due to work I won't be able to do anything but bench test till Sunday.

Bummer. And I know what you mean about hot. I ran a contest at the NLV field where a certain CF landing gear splayed from the heat, a set of Kavan wheels melted in a toolbox, and 45 aerobatic pilots foolishly came out to play in the insane heat!! Didn't notice how the rubber bands held up!!

	Big note here though is this......this plane flew for over a year with no radio problems in the current setup with a 955s crystal RX.

Just curious, was the crystal taped in

[sweetpea]

I've always taped my crystals in. Alas, this plane has also flown numerous flights on the R2000 dual conversion synth rx as well.

Just incase the RX breaks free and goes whirly in the plane.

Thanks guys..just trying to figure which RX I want..Ill prolly go with a few 8ch's...just want to make sure I have enough slots..I like to run dual rx packs plus a FO kill..

[sweetpea]

That 10 ch I got for my 10X was super light. I'll weigh it compared to my R2000...after I get a flight report in.

[Pale Rider]

On second thought the price difference is only 20$ I think between the 8 and 10..might was well get the 10!

Hi PR,
Yeah the 10Ch is only $20 more but it's also *slightly* heavier and larger than the 8ch. My cut at it is get the 8ch save $20 and a little weight and space (not much). I doubt that I'll ever need a 10 ch but when I do I'll buy one. Make sense? $20 wil buy 3 6-packs :-)
