Will Phoenix work with Eflite LP5DSM?

[Gate88]

I've just been asked by a chap interested in getting into the hobby if Phoenix will work with his Rx. It's one that came with a little foamy Eflite thing that has since sailed off into oblivion, it's got a Spektrum logo on the front, and the model no. LP5DSM, it's also got a "Trainer" jack on the back.

Anyone know if it'll work with Phoenix?

Hey Guy,

As far as I know, YES, it will work with Phoenix. The only problem with this radio (for this purpose) is that it will draw its power from the batteries and not via the trainer port.

There are mods available if you're friend so desires to tinker around. You can find the details here.

Hope it helps.

Yes is does work as i've done it, you might have to change the dip switches to get things moving the right way though.

its easier to just click the tx settings within phoenix as you do the calibration now Stu

My thoughts exactly, Ron. This would definitely make it easier than meddling with the switches.
