Tested

Done the range test at JB Sultan polo field. with my wife holding the tx wait for my instruction via hp, i walked far away to the other end of the field ard +-1000m. With both tx and rx ard +-1m above the ground. it's work in good respond..

then tested the system with my Trex450XL. I just direct change the ori futaba fm rx to the Assan X8 rx. that's all, nothing is change in the tx setting.
So the result=all work as normal...

pinout

the pinout:

View at soldering face of 6pin DIN plug.

2o
4o 5o
6o
1o 3o

Pin 1=solder '+'power(red) wire from module.
Pin 4=solder signal(orange) wire from module.
Shield/metal housing=solder '-'power wire(GND) from module.

The 3 lead on the module actually is the female servo connector without housing. So i soldered a male servo connector to the DIN plug then connecting to module's lead more ezy.
that's all.

If Not Wrong Optic 6 Using Module On The Back Right?
Then Direct Buy A Module Combo With Rx And Change The Fm Module Will Do. For Ur Info The Hitec Module Shld Use Futaba 1. Theythey Shld Compatible.
