and no have not got the wireless trainer yett

[gorber]

You are probably better off waiting for SimStick then.

Steve, do you have an approximate price and time scale?

[xygax]

Soon... Very soon Spektrum works now and the futaba ones will be in manufacture very shortly.

[gorber]

Will it be priced at a similar level to the Spektrum one?

[brin]

who has the best price for the sim stick

[matt t]

the futaba simstream is 14.99 but you have to buy a reciever aswell to go with it

[gorber]

Matt, a receiver isn't enough. You need the wireless trainer device WTR-7.

They cost around £100.

The SimStick will only require a receiver, so it should end up being a cheaper solution, depending on what it costs itself.

only intrested in the simstick as i have a few spare rx's.

[matt t]

ohh didnt realise they were so expensive therefore simstick is much better and more affordable

[gorber]

It's only relevant for Futaba users. The current SimStick only works with Spektrum, not Futaba. The SimStream only works with Futaba (and only WTR-07).

This is where Spektrum owners are currently in a privileged position!

As long as the price for the Futaba compatible one is right.

[matt t]

yeah

Hi Guys

I can confirm that the Futaba version of Simstick is going to be in the same ballpark price as the current Simstick.

We are working out manufacturing costs right now so we cannot be exact at the moment.

Don't forget the Futaba Simstick will work with the Orange FAAST receiver (about £25) as well as any spare R617s you might have. If you have a WTR-7 it will also work with that too - like the current Simstick does.

Bear with us and i'll keep you informed.

being a bit thick here i cannot find their address for the returns anyone?

I think you will need to email first to get return details, you don't pay until they ask you to AFAIK.

Back on topic

Not good .while i was on phoenix last night a message came up on the screen saying my tx wasn't connected but it is but if i unplug the usb the heli dissapears from the screen and when i plug it in again it comes back but still saying its not connected could it be the interface has packed up and if it has will phoenix replace or repair it. I did send an e.mail through their web page but they have not replied as yet has any one else had any problems with the interface

Brin, the usual problem is that one of the wires in the cable from the dongle to the Tx breaks. You can see if that is the case by waggling the cable a couple of inches at a time. If that is the case, I'm more than happy to fix it for you. I did mine about six months ago, and it's been fine ever since.
