Yup, I'm using channel 1 for throttle, channel 2 & 6 for aileron is u r using 2 servos for ur ailerons, if not just channel 2 alone.

I can't remember which channel is for rudder & elevator. Will let u know when i reach home this evening

Channel 3 for elevator & Channel 4 for rudder.

Channels 5, 7 & 8 left untouched

Good to hear it can bind to your Tx

Hi Guys,

I can't seem to link the RP8D1 to my JR9Xii. (Both r 72 mhz)

1. Connect my ESC to Channel 1 of the Rx, Polarity is right
2. Switch on my Tx
3. Plug in the batt
4. Rx blink twice, nothing happens after tat
5. Depress the scan button once, nothing happens
6. Depress & hold the button for 2 or more secs, nothing happens too

Wat could be the problems?

Hi jansonfinn,

So eventually you got the Rx to bind with your Tx? That's good to hear. Yes, those Rx with the failsafe feature seems more finicky to get them to bind, unlike the 4-channel one which is so simple. You are not alone on enabling the fail-safe feature either. I tried to set it following the instruction sheet, but i don't think I got it set. Hope I won't need it in flight.

Yes, the nice thing about these Rx is they're quite low-priced, and I like the fact that I don't need to worry about crystals. Though I think Corona needs to improve their build quality. I think I also had to press the scan button quite hard to eventually get it to bind, now that you mentioned it.

OK, man, thanks for sharing.

Pete

Thanks...I am looking at one of my walkera receiver and the channels are different..that why it made me confused. Will try tonight to fix up...

I tried to use it for my walkera heli first....very weird, the 3 servos are placed different from mini T or Trex 450....

Instead of having 2 servos infront ( near the motor ) the walkera has it the other way...

if that is it so, u can trial n error n put the servo in 1 by 1 by testing it with ur tx

I just bought 1 corona 8 channel 72mhz..... It works superbly on my 450SE.... Looking to get another one in the near future!
