Being new to the sport, I noticed the prop on my JM 6x4 hasn't the same size hole as my Turnigy B2835-2200. What is the best way to mount this thing without buying an adapter and waiting for…Continue

I'm looking for some RC equipment for my next UAV. My question is what kind of range will I get out of a basic $100 2.4Ghz system? The Xbee modules work up to 6 miles. Can I get that kind of range…Continue

The FrSky modules have been tested out to about 5km LoS. There are many variables however; your question is too vague for a simple answer.

For my long range 2-way serial system I used some 433mhz radio modems. Operation is the same as with Xbee's giving your a two-way serial communications pipe over radio. But range is much better. link:…

Sorry to bring this thing back up. I fixed the problem. My receiver was being powered by an old multi power adapter brick that barely supplied 200ma at 12V. I switched it to a big juicy 12v power supply and the picture is perfect. Thank you all who…

That's Great to know!! I even emailed the FCC asking them about it, but they haven't responded. (I would hate to pay any fines!!) Thanks for the response Nathaniel! I'll just go ahead and get the technical class license. Just wonder…

Could the reserved nature of the channel, by being in frequent use by its reserver, be leading to the interference issues with my tx/rx?

Carlos, You are absolutely correct, 1240 to 1300 MHz is reserved for "Ham"/Amateur radio use. You can obtain a technician class license very easily. You can find information on obtaining a license here. You can find out more about…

I was also looking in purchasing one of these also but I dont see how its illegal if operated on the 1.240G or 1.280G band? (The transmitter has 8 Channels 6 of which I believe are illegal) But according to the Frequency Allocation Chart…
