Transmitter for Pheonix

[gyroman]

Hi. I'm picking up my pheonix Monday and wondered if the tranny from my Twister CP will work with it. I have an old Futaba that I could use but would like to get the right lead.
I intend to get my next heli soon (realise the Twister is a bit of a toy) but haven't made my mind up what I want yet.
Thanks Brian.

If it's like the Twister skylift tranny then yes it will, does it have a trainer connection that resembles an earphone jack? If so the lead for Phoenix will plug straight in, on the Skylift one it has to remain switched off however.

I don`t think the twister CP Tx will work with Phoenix because it has the ccpm mixing built into it and you have no means of switching it off.

When you use Phoenix you have to disable the ccpm mixing for the sim to work.
Pretty sure they are not compatible.

A do beleive phoenix has demixing capability for such transmitters - but I'm not sure.

Yep Phoenix has a ccpm de-mixing capability when you calibrate the TX.
So yes it will work.

Connected it to me old Futaba tx. Just had a quick play and a few problems to sort out but it's impressive ! Amazing how easier the big stuff is to fly compared to the small helis. Also, surprised how difficult it is to fly a circuit. Thought that would be the easy part.

This hobby is full of surprises............................

Yup,
the surprise when your shiny new heli turns up early
The surprise when it goes into a hover first go
the surprise when a bit of blade comes off after hitting something, while you were in the same hover.
the surprise on your face when it decides to come straight at you....
And not forgetting, the big surprise when you get your credit card bill through every month of owning a heli....
