Beastx Make your own Spektrum Satellite Adapter

[tonywv12]

From Fastlad £1.99 Tarot ZYX-S Spektrum Satellite Adapter Cable FYTLZYX09 any one know if this will fit a mystery big hole or turnegy 3dh flybarless unit microbeastx or clones

as I should have thought it should have the right adapter built in

Think my mystery big hole was faulty, but lead is working seems ok on my micro beastx

hope you don't mind this beginners silly question but why do you attach a satellite receiver to your helicopter is it a bit like using a gps
is it so you can some how down load the flight info onto a computer mapping program
or some other reason

The beastx with the use of a satellite receiver can be standalone and you can then use it as Rx and fbl unit rather than a separate receiver and fbl unit. Only recommended for 450 sized machines.

Does this defo work with micro beastX ? Only reason i ask is a purchase a 3d-h which came with a satalite lead which looks sim to yours but it won't work with either micro beastX or 3d-h. I was going to spend the £15 and get correct lead its just a little pricey for a cable.

The beastx has the receiver built in the micro beastx does not have the receiver built in so you either have to conect a receiver wich uses a quite few cables to connect, but a satelite reciever has ony a plug and a small lead so makes wiring a lot tidyer and because of it small size makes a neeter job. The satellite receiver does not use satelites it is just a receiver. The name is a little misleading.

I am using the lead on my microbeastx and touch wood no problems

The term satellite in this context means a unit around the main receiver. Ie. It's a satellite to the RX. It is NOT a receiver of satellite signals from space !
