Well what ever you need to know on the Set, just go to the you tube and search for it and you will find everything.... I did the same for my old Radio and am now doing the same for my new radio

Edit
@shobhit17 sir,
Congrats on new radio.
With the thick manual for your new Hitec, unlikely that you have to search for anything online! ;D
Regards

@Devanesan Andrews,
Some precautions.
1. Do not cut or fold the Rx antenna. Take it through a hole in the fuselage, (via a bit of fuel tubing for stress relief) all the way to the fin. Put a pin into the top of the fin and attach antenna to it using a small rubber band. Let the extra length hang free. Just don't step on it before takeoff ;D

2. Remember to extend the Tx aerial fully. Due to using 2.4ghz all the time, i forgot this recently with an FM radio. Result was loss of range after about 30meters and a total loss crash. Fortunately within our field with no collateral damage, except to pride!

Thank u iyer sir... shobit sir.....

Always 2.4 GHz Dev. It's frequency hopping, so minimum chance of interference

BTW if you fly in a group or club, always check no one else is flying on the same frequency (not an issue with 2.4 GHz)

Well Sanjairai Sir is bang on..... second 2.4 GHz is an open freq and 72 or 35 MHz are not. You will need to have a proper licence for this kind of a frequency to be used.

But shobit sir I read that below 100mhz its an open frequency except 103.7 since police use it

I think legally speaking, only 27 MHz is permitted. But that is a very old rule, dating back to the 60s or 70s, when RC Planes just started in India.
