Hello all
Firstly, RC has been a great past time for most of us. With the advancement of technology and a rapid increase of fliers and decrease in land space, more and more of us are jumping into the 2.4ghz bandwagon to avoid frequency clashes, especially in small fields with many fliers.
I myself have decided to embark on this journey. Having had a basic 2.4ghz transmitter with no EPA controls , I felt that i needed a new transmitter. However, having had my sanwa rd6000 super with me for the last few years made me sad to part with it. With little money for a new Tx, especially since the newer 2.4ghz transmitters and Spektrums are over the budget for me, i decided to find a mod for this.
I saw someone mod his transmitter using a DIY method and i searched for it. I found it on "you know what website" , a 2.4ghz DIY mod. Torn between the Assan X8 module hack and Corona 2.4ghz DIY System, i went with the corona as it was slightly cheaper. Also, one of our LHS carries the receiver so I didnt have to order it online if i needed one .
It wasnt that difficult to fix it on the transmitter. A simple search on the net and i found how to mod my transmitter, just needing to solder the antenna to the "module", the + and - and PPM cable to the tx. You need to know where the PPM slot is before attempting to mod.
Before mod
Soldering
Binding button and light
I'll let the pics do the talking on my successful mod. However, all I need to do now... is to test fly it! The binding seems to have worked... range so far was ok having me tried walking under the block for more than 20m. didnt go far as it was night and i cant see well .. Maybe in the morning i'll test it out
The end product
