HDX 450

[JohnSouthworth]

Dear All
OK I am a complete novice but do have a Masters in Electronics and Guided Weapons. I am in Cambridge, UK. I have just bought a HDX 450 whilst on a trip to Hong Kong thus fulfilling a childhood dream of owning a 'proper' R/C helicopter.

So first questions - how do you tell if it is JR or Futaba?
I have connected the servos to the mainframe and the motor but none seem to work when connected to the receiver. The motor beeps at me continuously. What do I do now?
Once I have the servos working etc how do I go about checking that it all functions OK?
Is there a good website with videos etc to describe how to go about the whole thing for a newbee like me?
Many thanks. Looking forward to hearing some responses.
John

How to tell whether your receiver is one or the other? Generally it'll be marked as such. And you'll need a radio of the same brand and on the same frequency to work with that receiver.

You'll have to "bind" the radio to receiver if you're on 2.4ghz, otherwise just make sure the crystals match. It'd be helpful if you told us which model of radio you're using along with the receiver model. Did you buy this stuff new? Do you have manuals for them?

If not, just tell us anything you see marked on the receiver and radio that might be a model number such as "9C", or DX6i, or AR9000 for the receiver. We really can't help without knowing what your setup is.

I highly recommend you go to the Finless Tech Room and watch ALL of the trex 450 video's....they will answer the majority of your questions.
