..wonder if this is genuine..

..the smaller parkflyer Rx's they sell seem to work ok ...or they say they will replace.

Hi Bill,

I was just on the Spektrum site and they have a warning there regarding these...they are supposedly counterfit made....guess where....China!

Doesn't mean they won't work i guess.....

Yes...lots of clones out there...and most are working well.

Several of us have purchased the parkflyer "Spektrum" units...first for $12.99...recently for $4.99, and the HC "orange" RX for similar price. This is one of the first larger, full range units I've seen for 1/2 price.
The thing is to try them first is a lightweight foamy before putting them in something you value.

something puzzling, yet interesting, happened at the NG indoor last night.

One of the guys was having trouble getting a vapor to fly ok and was comparing a second vapor to his while checking wing incidence. he plugged a battery into the second vapor (transmitter for this plane was off) and it of course went into bind mode. one flyer was operating an ember across the gym. HE WAS NOT IN BIND MODE and was just flying around. all of a sudden the vapor we were holding fired up it's motor. the other flyer's dx5 had bound to our plane.

then a few minutes later when I was rebinding to the correct transmitter and the ember was sitting on the floor across the gym, still powered up and NOT IN BIND MODE ........it became bound to our transmitter and took off across the floor when I was testing the throttle on the first plane.

explain that one.

we were successful in correcting each plane only by turning one plane/transmitter off totally and rebinding each in sequence.

both planes were stock parkzone.

also interesting was the fact that all the trouble we had getting the original vapor to fly with enough power was the prop. three different props would not fly the plane. when we tried a prop from a known good model it flew just fine. all props were the correct ones for the vapor but three of them recently purchased could not develop enough thrust to get a vapor off the floor.

They take off from the floor now?
