    Hi-Res Mode with DX8 & DSMX sats ok?

    Hey all.

    I have a question I'd like reassurance on from people running the same setup preferably.

    Basically I have a full size blue line, DSMX sats and DX8, which is able to run 11ms in Hi-Res mode if I am not mistaken. Can anybody confirm this for me please?

    Its fitted to an expensive model, a turbine T700 which isnt mine and so I want to be fully confident it can/will work safely this way.

    Thanks.

    Yep, it works amazing too!

    As mentioned in my recent review. Laurence Gough UK 3D RC Helicopter Pilot's Blog - Viewing post > Spektrum DX8 Review

      no problems running 11ms mode on my titan and it is sooooo locked in - like futaba as it is in similar mode. 2048.... you will not be diappointed and range checks I have done have all been good,

        On my e7 and 600 EFL Pro i setup according to MrMel's suggestion (first post in the sticky):

        Spektrum users - Which mode should I run? READ! - HeliFreak

        My setups both use DX8 @ 11ms, 2x DSMX sats, and vbar fullsize blueline pro 5.2.5. This works correctly.

          Running 11ms with my DX8 here on both my Xxtreme and my 600 Logo without issues Ian.

            Cool, thanks all for the responses. I'll go with Mr.Mel's ;

            If you run DSMX satellites with a DSMX radio (DX8)
            - Run Spektrum DSMX satellites 1 or 2 in the VBar (11ms/2048 with DX8)

            As it's such an expensive model I wanted to be sure, never having tried it myself before and remembering the problems initially mentioned with DSMX and Hi-Res a year ago.

                Sorry to go a little off track here but I'd just like to say thanks Laurence after reading that review the DX8 is on the to buy list as soon as I can. I was almost at the point of deciding to go with a futaba 8fg super but not now. I'll hopefully get the DX8 with the 3 rx deal and later maybe in a few years I'll switch over to the 18 and use them for buddying up.

                  Just as a small heads-up, the inactivity timer is not 15 mins as per the review, it goes off after 5 mins. It used to be longer so I'd guess the review was done using older firmware. Seriously irritating at times, but there is some hope it may get changed again in a future firmware release.

                    Tbh I think the inactivity timer is a pretty good idea as I ahve left my tx on all night before. Not so handy when you have to finish setting up your model before heading to the field. ;-)

                        Hey Ian,

                        Are you close to firing the model up?

                          That was my next question ...

                          Looking forward to this one.

                            I first encountered turbines at Charmouth. There is something so realistic about smelling the jet fuel.

                              Thanks for that, I knew I should have timed it.

                              I've just timed it at 5:07 and I've been running it on Spektrum AirWare version 2.04 since I got it (I updated it on the first day).

                              I was miles out! I'll update my review, cheers. In the future I'll be sure to measure details like this.

                              And yes turbine models are incredible, I love the smell and the level of detail on them.
