hi bruce, i have a problem, the DJT v2 doesn;t come with the cable rs232, can we actually build this.. HK says they dont manufatur the cable anymore and doesn;t come with one today.. i didn;t find out until it arrived! i can't change the telemtry setting now!

a diagram or link will do.

thanks bruce

@jbx907 Do you need an RS232 cable? They still sell the USB cable which can be used for setting the telemetry parameters and reflashing the transmitter module. I did hear that there were some issues with Windows 7 and the USB driver but that may have been solved. I don't have Win7 to test.

Are you using a wireless clip on microphone? How do they work, can u wire them to your camera?

[RCModelReviews]

@SuperPianowizard No, I have a wired mic and I'm forever tripping over the cable.  One day I'll make enough money from my YouTube channel to buy a nice wireless mic.

Hello there , i got mine ,and no instruction .and dont work either , i got 9C Futaba.

Am I doing something wrong , OR like what i see on you tube ,it just dont work ,mostly .By the way do you work for them or just helpful guy ?

[RCModelReviews]

@arcdirect I'm just a helpful guy :-) Make sure you have your radio set to PPM mode. There should have been instructions -- go to the FrSky website and you'll find the documentation online there. The URL is in the web-based review on the RCModelReviews website.

Hi Bruce, love your videos. eagerly awaiting the circuit diagram for the backpack FPV 5.8ghz module. Question for you. can you see any issue with installing this unit in a DX6i?

[Petter500]

Slow down! No offense but do you eat any medicine that affects the sense of time? I like your movies but a little hard to hear sometimes.

I did a shade tree test on my J/R 2.4 and 72 systems by placing my pike perfect moldy glider a $2000 A/C on a tri pod in my day room, i can see the rudder/ elevator thru my bay window, i placed the transmitter in a all meta tool box in my garage, closed the tool box, with a string attached to the rudder stick, i closed the door which is metal, i can now see the A/C thru my garage window,pulled on the string every thing worked as advertized, go figure!

Good review Bruce, I have the Frsky DF combo, plus one extra receiver for my other Heli, mine did come with the Serial lead, I note some didn't get the lead? there was also a CD with manuals covering everything, also winXP/win7 update stuff.

The RS232 lead has no coders in the plug just a straight 3-wire to 9-way Fem d-type.

@RCModelReviews only if new i should have order it with the usb cable, rs232 will be my only alternative, i dont know if there are coders in the plugs or just direct taps! im using windows 7 x64 and also have xp, i have some rs232 plugs here but still need info on connections!
