Binding Heli

[Mad dog]

Hi All,

Just wondering after a recent event, Friends and I were out flying, one of my friends was hovering his 500 heli 20 meters away, whilst he was hovering I decided to bind a new heli, just as the bind took place his heli took a blip, would my binding have caused this, is it a no no to bind whilst someone is flying. his heli is fine it's just so we know the rights and wrongs of binding so as not to cause an accident or damage.

Im shocked that no one has been able to answer this, Im guessing everyone else is as much in the dark about this issue as I am.

Just maybe if you had introduced yourself, then explained your event in more detail just maybe you would get an answer.

I thought: Hi all was a polite hello, dont see what difference it makes who I am, What more info do you need it was a question didnt think I had to answer to the Etiquette police, It seems every forum has people that feel the need to try to be-little people or is clicky. If you dont know the answer just say nothing and save embarrassing yourself.

Not totally sure, but your transmitter will be buzzing out a signal to find a reciever, it may have blipped your chums heli, but modern digital trannies will only bind to an open reciever, ie one with bind plug in. Though it may be different with something like MCPX (not tried) once heli is bound it will have specific frequency so should only bind to one at a time.
ps welcome to the forum haha good doggy. Now then mousey play nice, don't prod the mad dog

Thank you Parksy, much as i thought, but thought id put it out there to find out for sure as none of the guys at local model club knew for sure either. Doggys back on his lead for now and glad to be part of the forum.

Welcome

Not heard this myself but maybe it caused it to brown out stranger things have happened

I would not have thought that your binding a model would have caused a blip to another model that was not in the binding mode. That frequency would have been ignored by the binding tx/rx combination.
If this was not the case the we would have hundreds of models of all sorts falling out of the sky. Cheers

It was kind of strange and in may have just been coincidense it's just that it happened at exactly the same time as the bind took hold of my model.
He didnt have a bind plug in and as far as I know a receiver wont work properly in a model once it is bound if you leave the bind plug in.
We fly on an old airport so dont know if anything there could have given it a brown out, but nothing been flown out of there for several years.
