General Discussion / FYI - DX5e as a wireless trainer buddy box

« on: August 17, 2014, 09:15:43 pm »

As have many, I purchased Spektrum's new black DX6 which seems to use most of the same OS and programming as the new DX9.   The new DX6 supports wireless training mode with other Spektrum transmitters.    I was surprised today when I tried to connect my DX5e wirelessly to my DX6 for training.   I put the DX6 into trainer bind mode and then tried to bind the DX5e to it and believe it or not it worked!   So now the DX5e works as a student training box with my DX6 WITHOUT A WIRE.   Hooray for technology.
I thought this might help others with a wireless-capable transmitter and wishes to establish a wireless student box.

General Discussion / Who knows what about lost plane gps locations???

« on: August 10, 2014, 10:09:24 pm »

Not that I've ever lost one (sure!) but I'm researching what devices are available for this issue.  I've heard of gps receivers that can transmit its location to one's smart phone but perhaps there are other methods.  And the typical beeping locators are so quiet one would have to be stepping on the plane to hear it!    If anyone reading this has heard of anything available please post some info and hopefully a link as many, I'm sure, would like to know as well.

Thanks

General Discussion / What's the latest on the field's weather station, web cam, etc?

Nice new site and good to see a membership forum.
I thought I would ask here but as the subject states Can anyone describe the current status of this project?
Truthfully it would be quite nice to check the temp and wind speed as well as take an actual look to see if anyone is actually there?
I'd sure others have run into this but the drive down only to find no one there or the wind too strong is a big waste of gasoline and time.
