Hello fellas,

wishing you all a very happy new year and fun filled 2014

I have got this Huixin RC plane long back and its like age old, it is a basic RC plane with 3 channel 40mhz tx, but it looks TX is all wore out due to battery leak and even some wire solders are rusted.

Now can i get a good long term tx which can support 40mhz/72mhz and new 2.4ghz i mean kind of all in one so that i can use to try flying this plane if other parts are fine.

Other option is i just use this canopy and use new type of motors / rx etc and build it, i have attached the pics of the plane, request to help me out as i really would like to use this body.

Thanks all in advance...

I think this is a toy grade plane with 2 channel radio. This is hard to modify it, very small. you can only use same radio with it,,,, you should repair the radio if you can.... and fly it....

Is there any radio which can support 40mhz, or any way of using other 40mhz wth this plane

hello can u just post a few pics of tx and rx? ill try to help you

If you are getting a new radio these days, do NOT consider anything other than 2.4GHz.  The Mhz radios are major pains.

@ Kiran, shall post the pics tonite..

@ Anwar, I have other tx which is of heli but 40mhz, how can I use it for plane, any kind if adjustment on plan board for signals ?


Thanks

Hello if u hav aheli tx, is it a coaxial heli? Then it is possible.post the heli rx pics too.you will be having 2 outputs for 2 motors and one more for back tail motor.there r 2 motors in ur plane.connect 2 outputs from ur rx to the 2 motors.and 1 more output u have, connect it to ur plane's rudder. power the rx with 500-1000mah 2cell lipo.try to keep the rx antenna a bit long as it is 40mhz and not 2.4ghz.this setup is simple and tried it too!

Can't say anything without seeing what you have. Can you identify the model and point to a pic/link on the web ?

See the pic.

Hi,

Have attached the plane's RX and TX pic

Hello cant make out by seeing th pics.looks fine .u said u have a heli tx then do u have the rx too?if u have the heli rx please post the pic.lets try to fix a heli rx into it!

Can't see this being worth the effort, with the motor mixing and only 3 channels. 

Getting a proper (even if simple) 2.4Ghz radio (of 4 channels at least) would be the right thing to do, especially if you are getting into RC for the long term.  They do not cost all that much these days.

Attached is the heli tx

@ Anwar : I dont mind investing in good 2.4ghz radio, as i am also modding my parrot drone for tx, but my just intension here is to make this plane fly...i just dont wanna throw it away...i am ready to take all pains...

Hello friend I asked u whether u have a receiver for the heli tx.if u hav one please tell me and as anwar sir says to get u a 2.4ghz which is the best.but I think the cost will be equal to a new one.2 brushed esc cost 1500rs, tx and rx, lets say fsct6b cost around 3000, sevo cost 200 and lipo cost 500 total cost would be around 5000rs.this is brushed setup, if u want brushless than cost may increase.i say if u have a receiver for the helicopter transmitter then tell me.than it is possible to get this into air!

Finally have invested in turnigy 9xr with orange dsm module as per requirement for my drone mod.

Now I would like to use the plane canopy with new electrics, don't wanna use heli rx and will keep tht aside.

Now on what basis I should decide for motor, servo, esc, rx, if you see my plane body in earlier posted pics, it has 2 motors each on wings, how do I see if it's brushed, based on type if model it is am sure it's brushed, help me to buy electrics..

Help pls

Why don't you remove the toy grade electronics from your plane and put some hobby grade servos , esc , motor

And that way you would be able to use any frequency radio you want .

True that's what am willing to do but need help on selecting servos, esc and motor, if u see pics if my plane there are 2 motors already there each on wings

the toy plane will have brushed motors i guess
same as my toy grade car has
so you will need to change everything servos battery and motor
bring it this sunday so that we know what stuff needs to be changed

We need more info

Your plane seems to be using a TX-RX2B pair which does not support proportional input...its the same radio used in toy cars...you could actually buy one of those 40Mhz radio cars and it should work with your plane as long as the channel matches...

more information on tx2b here...

Well, in fact that is a very cool way of making a plane for kids...must make from an old car...

Hi Girish, as told earlier have invested in turnigy and hence don't mind in changing all elecs, now need help in selecting the right elecs, will post the plan dimensions what else to be checked for selection

Hi , sorry for late reply , was in school till 3 pm and when I came home I was tired , I would suggest that you buy 2 brushed 20 amp Esc for your current motors, 1 costs rs 560 if you are buying it from thehobbyshop , you would have to take out the red cable pin from one of the esc otherwise you're receiver would blow up  , use your 2.4g remote and for the servos use 9g servos , you can get them cheapest from rcb

If you also want to buy a radio , if you're going cheap , you can buy the rcb6i or rcb7x , or if you're going rich , you can buy spectrum radios if you're going to be flying electronic planes or you can buy an all rounder futaba radio if you're going to fly nitro and electronics  . My first 2.4g radio was the rcb7x only , it's very good , but then i upgraded my transmitter to my futaba t8fg super as I am a nitro sport flyer .
