Read First Before Buy Spektrum 9645 DSMX Remote Receiver
Moving into larger helicopters means I need to be careful to assure that my radio signals make it to the heli as the cost and risk of crashing gets worse with size. Flying a Gaui X5 which has an over 4 foot wing span I wanted to add an extra satellite receiver to assure signal path diversity. The frame is all carbon and the risk is that in certain orientations the helicopter can block the signals, thus adding a remote to each side resolves this.
This remote works great with my Mikado VBar system, I simply plug it into the flybarless controller and it becomes a DSMX radio Flybarless controller. Very nice system.
I upgraded to DSMX system because I wanted the extra safety that a DSMX radio provides over a DSM2 system. The DSM2 radio scans the band, picks 2 frequencies to use and then sends the data over those to channels to the receiver for the duration of the flight. While that is very nice, in a crowded environment you can have glitches (and unfortunately I've lost planes due to this). The DSMX system picks 10 free frequencies and splits the data over those during the life of the connection. This frequency hopping spread spectrum communication is about as reliable as possible with a RC system. Add to this the signal/antenna diversity you get by using the satellite antenna and you will have a very safe and secure connection with your flying craft.
There are knock off DSM2 receivers which are ok to use in foamies and smaller planes, but for anything expensive that could kill someone if it hit them; I stick with the more secure and safe frequency hopping multi-channel systems.
One great benefit of using a DSMX transmitter is that it's also backward compatible with your DSM2 receivers, so they will continue to serve you until you can slowly upgrade the fleet to DSMX receivers.
5 stars, this receiver and the DSMX system is very reliable and works great.
