Yea man... please let us know what you think AND how it "feels" compared to the 2048 Rez of the 14. Did you ever use the 2048 RX in a logo? So you know I can feel the difference on my Trex600 with the G3 Rx vs others that are running JR or Futaba 1024. AND I aint that good! The 2048 rez rocks so I am curious to see how it "feels" on the DX7.

Will be nice to see how it turns out, I hope I can get back to use UBEC's again with this solution.

Mine is also mounted on my L14 with the VStabi system.
No chance of flying today though, its raining sideways here.
I HATE THIS WEATHER!

This is great! I am just building up my first Logo 10 and coming from a Corona, I need a new radio. I've been eye-ballin' that DX7 and I am very curious how well it works.

Got my DX-7 into my Logo 14 this evening. :)
I think I got it all squared away. I think to set the F/S to zero throttle I bind with the throttle stick all the way low.
Seems quick and nice. Can't wait to test fly.

Well... I KILLED IT!!! :DOH
Went to Re-bind withthe proper stick positions for failsafe and it will not bind again at all. :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg:

I killed the DX-7! No more binding, no matter what I try. :(

I dont understand

I went to re-bind to save the failsafe stick positions per the manual, and it unbound and will not re-bind at all. I can go through the binding process and the RX will no longer bind to the TX at all.

Will - forgive the obvious but have you double checked your batteries and connections ? If so, then it sounds like a dud unit to be returned. If there is someone else nearby with another Rx you could check whether the problem is in the Rx or Tx.

OK bad bind plug wire loop!!
My Bind plug is intermittent. If I bend the little wire loop one direction, it will put the RX into blinking bind mode, if I do not put the exact right tension on the bind plug loop, the RX will not go into bind mode. If I use the switch harness and the female bind plug it goes into bind mode every time.

That's crappy luck Will, that would tick me off to. :twisted:

I'm just glad I did not give up. The TX feels OK and so far it all seems to be workign great.

Tested my Logo 14 with the DX7 today.
Feels strange to hold a such light transmitter, I need to get the balance redone as well (Im using 8 x 2700 AA batteries in it), so its very tail heavy.
However, How do you burn $300 in a second?
Well, one way is to forgot to check the pitch before takeoff, I did a full pitch takeoff (rocket) and had forgot to check my max pitch, hehe, had +-20
Battery dropped so low that jazz over current/low voltage triggered.
But it was a hell of a take-off.
pack voltage was under 2.9 volts per cell... I suspect that pack wont behave as good as it used to, lucky me it was a old pack.
Other then that, radio worked fine :)
