Re: Santa came late!!!!

Hi Chris, I bought mine just before Christmas. The promo then (till Dec 31) was a free programer for rx and tx updates plus half off basic telemetry package. You could probably availe yourself of that if you wanted. Mine took a bout 3 weeks to get here. (Windsor).
And as has been said, don't hit the manual too hard, the radio is fairly intuitive, so start pressig buttons with some servos hooked up.
See ya.

Yes I know you'll charge it in the evening but it makes you more confident when the voltage stays above 75%.


P.S. the telemetry w/GPS is so cool I want to drive around with it in my truck just to download it onto my PC to see the data stream.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up on the offer! The offer runs for radios purchased Jan 1 to Apr 30th. My receipt says Dec 30. I'm still sending the required info in, maybe Hitec will be nice. If not, $39.99 for a receiver is still pretty good.

Hi Chris,

I put together a quick "cheet sheet" on binding, a switching binding modes, and range check set up. If you would like a copy I'll send it to you or take to the KW Swap meet this weekend.

You will like the radio.

PM me with your latest email address.

Fly4Fun,
