 iguron 55 points
Anyway, it could be compatible if you use the correv assan transmitter, modding you MX12

Does anyone know if you use these with the aerial coiled (as bought) or uncoiled
 Colin 9 points
In case anyone's interested, I've just had confirmation from Assan that the two antennas should be uncoiled and straightened out.

Hey guys, This product is compatible with tx hitec optic 6 sport 2,4ghz? Thanks... Davide from Italy.
 Frans 13 points
No it is only compatible with the Assan tx. In general every brand has its own 2.4GHz system. For hitec you need to buy a hitec rx. There are some brands you can get non original brand Rx for. Spectrum and Futaba are two of them.

Does not work if you do not have the radio module. I have a Futaba 7C with the Assan system, works seamlessly with both 72 MHz and 2.4 services

Hi can I use this receiver for a radio futaba 3 PM at 2.4 GHz, for a car?
Is it compulsory to have the module? or can I just take this receiver?
birdie  7 points - 9/23/2010
 
Hello* Before ordering can you confirm I can use this receiver with a Multiplex Cockpit SX transmitter Thank you
 vasy1 605 points
You NEED to have Assan module in the radio for this to work.

How long is the antenna...??
 gabuzo 50 points
roughly 250 mm.
 Loic 64 points
what is the max volt for use it ? it is possible directly with lipo 2S ?
nemo4all  35 points - 8/6/2010
 
Can someone please tell me the difference between the SHORT and the LONG antenna receivers...?? Is there any range difference...??
 gabuzo 50 points
IMHO, no range difference. The long antenna receivers allow to put the last 25 mm of the antenna (the real "sensitive" part of the antenna) out of carbon fuselages, or away from servos, cables, metal links, etc...
 vasy1 605 points
Best used in carbon-fiber fuselage as CF blocks 2.4 signal. No difference in foam or balsa plane.
nardau  17 points - 8/4/2010
 
Hello, you can say to me which voltage accepts the receivers V2.
Thank you, cordially.
 vasy1 605 points
5v-6v, standard this days. Assan does not make direct lipo compatible receivers.

This is my first Rx with a long antenna. Do I have to unwrap the antenna and run it along the aircraft fueselage or will it work if I leave it wrapped the way it is?
 Adolf 31 points
You unrap it and each of the two parts arrange separately, e.g. each on other part of the fuselage* mind that the active part is only the non-isolated end part of the antenna. When you look from top at the receiver, the active component of the antenna is the that on your right.
 ECTOR 152 points
use it unwrap and straight prefare not paralel

Hi!
Could I cut long antenna to make short without losing the range?
 timrinaldo 16 points
Absolutely not!!! The actual antenna is the silver piece on the end of the black wire. The black part is just cox to the antenna.
 timrinaldo 16 points
"coax"
 Adolf 31 points
please do not do it, buy the receiver with the short antenna instead
Daggymac  68 points - 9/17/2009
 
Sorry for my english, I want to know the maximum voltage for this RX. I want to use 2s1p A123 LIFE 6,6V pack.
 Daggymac 68 points
Ok, i asked assan for help and they approved 6,6V to power this receiver. Cool
Phonic  28 points - 7/29/2009
 
Great receiver, i use them in all my planes, binding works well and stayes for ever, and it is cheap, and works well with my Futaba 9ZHP
insang  259 points - 4/28/2009
 
how much voltage can the Rx take? manual just says over 3.6v
phamilton  24 points - 4/27/2009
 
folks, what is the difference in performance between short and long antenna?

Better range with the long antenna?

How does one fit these long antennas with the long antennas?

 Beaufighter 1808 points
The long antenna is simply a short antenna with an extension cord, and makes it possible to have the antenna outside the fuselage. Some airplanes make a "shadow" and the 2.4G will not penetrate, and reciever will glitch/lockout if antenna is inside.

I have an XR6 with the two 25cm long black antenna.installed in an EDF model,with the antenna's spread in a "V"pattern,I can only get a test range of 30 meters.please any one have any answers for me .I must be doing something wrong .I am sure there must be fail safe on the throttle as I did hand launch the model,with the motor cutting within a few meters .but I still had full control of ailerons /elevator Any thoughts guy's[help]
__KenC  19 points -
 
With about 50 hours of flawless flight time I can say the R6 has gained my respect. When will we be able to get X8 R4's?? Most of the planes I fly need only two channels for elevons.

can i use it with my e-flite cx2 LP5DSM tx?
 futura 15 points
The LP5DSM is a $pektrum tx and the rx in the 4-in-1 unit is the AR6100 from $pektrum. Thus the answer is no.

I was in modelshop in Slovakia and i want to buy 3 pieces of receivers 35 MHz. All with crystals. And i last moment i say no. And i think about Assan system because i have one from supported transmitters HITEC 6 OPTIC. So i buy transmitter and 5 receivers for beginning. After installation i was very happy because my glider didnt loose signal when is 600 meter from me. What a fantastic deal. I ordered another 4. Im beginner and setup was very easy and flying experience is wonderfull. I recommend to everybody to park flyers but also to gliders and Helis.

Really good investition.

What an incredible deal!! This receiver is (in U.S. Dollars) 25.00, the spektrum version is 49.00 and the Futaba version is 89.00 and I can't tell a difference between them other than a max of 2 grams in weight! This Assan 2.4GHz system is fantastic! Binding takes all of 10 seconds and they stay bound forever. Why you WOULD NOT go with ASSAN is beyond me unless you just need BIG name stuff. I would definitely recommend it for upgrading your module based systems. Now if ASSAN would come out with their own brand of Transmitter with it integrated like the Futaba and Specktrum it would be perfect!!

Yes this is the right receiver for me. Not so expensive like FASST and it works very reliable! 5 weeks ago, i ordered 3 pieces and i'm very surprised about the size. After the stripping, the receiver size is similar like a bubble gum stripe but the little thing have a top and save range for F3K (handlaunch-glider with 100 percent CFK). Ideal!
Attention "antenna must be outside the modell"! when antenna is inside the modell the range is shorter than the FASST-system.
Finaly....im very content! Five stars for price, functionaly, size!
Fore stars for the range!

These are NOT compatible with Spektrum.
These are considered Park Flyer receivers but my 4 foot and below airplanes are still under control at the end of MY visual range which I would estimate at better than 1000 feet.
