Please be aware of this!!!
Page 102 in the DX 7 maual states “Do not fly below 9.0v on the transmitter or below 4.7 on the receiver. To do so can crash your aircraft”
Don’t you think this statement should be placed in the front of the operators manual?
A 6 volt Rx battery would be a better choice than the 4.8 volt pack that spektrum ships with every radio if 6.0 volts is a safer option to avoid an in-flight receiver re-boot.
This http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM1600 looks like a fix for low voltage re-boot issue which occurs at a 3.2 volt sense and can take several seconds to complete.
It's called a SpeKtrum Voltage Protector $6.00
If you are going to power your Rx from a seperate pack make it a 6 volt pack. If you are going to use all digital servos be aware of this issue and use the Voltage Protectors and possibly provide a redundant parallel 6 volt pack along with a BEC off the LiPo. All digital servos and a power hungry motor pushing Mad 3Dz off a not so up2par LiPo could become disastorus.
