Hi! I did receive this same HK-7X(V2) TX with HK-8X(V2) RX. But I did not still use it because I am waiting for the Lipo 3S cell and other parts.
r_g_r, would I like make you 3 questions about it TX/RX HobbyKing. OK?
1) The TX runs with 11.1V(Lipo) or 9.6V(NiCd). Please, what is the right operation voltage of the RX HK-8X(V2)?
2) Do you know the RX can be protected with foam without causing interference or signal loss?
3) There is a hole at the bottom of the HK-7X(V2) transmitter. Do you know what is this? It would be the trainer cable connection?
Cheers!
@Aero2k4br:
Yes, you can use NiCd or NiMh batteries. I use 8 NiMh batteries myself. You can even use a 3s LiPo, but I would suggest to not fully charge the LiPo. A fully charged LiPo can have up to 12.6V. Many pepole suggest to use the “storage” function of your charger in order to only charge the LiPo up to 3/4 of it’s capacity. BTW: HobbyKing even sells a LiPo that already has the needed connector (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7346&aff=214818)
I use the receiver on a foam plane myself and up to now I did not have a problem with the connection.
The “hole” is a 3.5mm mono audio port. It can be used to hook the transmitter up to simulator if you have a matching simulator cable. You need to check the manual on how to set the transmitter to PPM mode though. Sorry, but I don’t know about a trainer mode in this transmitter.
Hi
I have the KDS version (v1) of this and I use the ppm mode for my simulator. You need to set up a new model which uses a 2-servo heli mode. Then there is no mixing with the trottle. I use a cable from ebay with a USB connector at the end. http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Flight-Simulator-Cable-JR-FUTABA-ESKY-Walkera-/320534217888?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aa15404a0
– oh, And remember to enter PPM mode by holding the two buttons to the right when turning it on.
