Can someone explain to me why I've just had to spend £12.99 on a G Force kneckstrap balancer just so I can have the bracket where Spektrum should have put it in the first place?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'm using a DX6i and have no issues with the balance on it. Besides, why does is have to balance anyway? Is that not why you're holding it, so it stays where you want it?

Balances the Tx nicely. I prefer the G-Force one to the Spektrum one.
It also takes the weight out of your hands, try it, and you will notice how much nicer it is to hold.

Yup, IMO it should come with the Tx, but I wouldnt fly without a neckstrap or the balancer anymore. x 3Comment

Yes it definitely makes it nicer to use the kneckstrap -you no longer have to take the weight of the tx in your hands in order to keep it level. I just can't understand why they didn't make it like this in the first place.
Is anyone slightly worried about these balancers putting a lot of strain on the transmitter bracket? Has anyone ever heard of one breaking?Comment

Fair dues - perhaps I'll give it a go. I must admit tho, I like my Tx to hang low one end.Martin

Martin, I did'nt need one when I used my DX6i......however the main position on the DX7 really requires one to make it more balanced...Originally posted by Mart61 View PostCheers Eddie

It's because the DX7 uses the same case as the old JR radios such as the 2610.
These were 35MHz and of course had a long aerial which balanced the TX.
Since 2.4GHz only needs the shortened aerial, they don't balance properly.
Simple eh?

Of course you don't have to buy an overpriced balancer you can make one up out of a long bolt, some nuts and washers a bit of tubing and two ball links on a short thread.Comment

I was going to post about the DX7 being a 35mhz case too
What I can't understand is that the Futaba 10CG is designed from the ground up to be a 2.4ghz radio and the neckstrap loop is still in the wrong place

Hi, I made my own from a 1/2" round bar of aluminium. Just bent it in vice then a few minutes with angle grinder and drill, could do with a final polish but it does the job.
The nut and bolt from a king3 blade holder, top hole a bit out of line but it does make clipping the strap on easier.
Bought the rod for £3 at hobby store, enough for four of them.
