Why didn't you paint the rings blue to go with the rest of the bling? This all looks good but the speaker mod won't work with my IRX module in that bay. There is a speaker mod that fits in place of the stock speaker.

I have an eflite viper 70 mm edf and I bind my Taranis QX7 with Spektrum Rx AR636A AS3X using the JP4IN1 Jumper Multiprotocol Module....... everything is working good, but I don't know how to make the Safe works, how can I assign a switch to enable or unable that option?..... I'll appreciate any help... thank you....

Hello! Sorry but I have no idea how you could enable that with a switch. I don't expect the viper to have an interface you can connect to and adjust the settings, modes etc like you would in a betaflight quad for example. I would try and ask in a multiprotocol-related thread over at RCGroups, maybe someone has figured it out.

It was easy to find, it was one of my first orders from aliexpress :P It says horizontal. I can't remember how it was on the QX7 but on the X9D you could rotate the neckstrap hook. But I prefer the horizontal because if it becomes loose it does not move up, it just goes from side to side.

@@muteFPV Just went back through your video and at 7:39 it appears that there is a hump there in the casing. I started this journey of back grips because I just got the Radiomaster t16s max and the grips are HUGE compared to the Jumper and QX7. After measuring things to see why the QX7 fits better in my hands, I noticed the back grips on the RM. I may end up buying another casing for the RM and seeing if I can cut down the outside grip part. Same thing for the QX7, those grips just get in the way when hybrid pinching.

I have the same "problem" with the TX16S but the solution is much more simple: get a rear shell from a Jumper T16. As far as I know it fits with very minor mods (maybe a little trimming around the battery plug). I will probably do it too but things take forever to arrive.

Sorry take your time, but is it possible assembly all 6 switch knobs ? Are all them long or is there any short? I ask because my X7 just will arrive Friday. I don’t have it here now. I intend to buy 3 kits (W7502). I think are 2 shorts and 4 Longs. Am I correct?
@muteFPV
@muteFPV 4 жыл бұрын
There are 2 short and 2 long that are flat like an "I" and there are 2 long that are round like an "o". The metal switch knobs can be screwed on the round switches but they will spin around and you will not like it. Better use heatshrink on these two round switches like I did, or maybe a thin silicone tube if you want to add color.

@muteFPV
@muteFPV 2 жыл бұрын
Hello! EU/LBT version is intended for people living in Europe, in order to abide the European laws. This version does not do D8 mode and may have limited transmission power. The non-LBT (FCC / International) version is for the rest of the world. Many people in Europe fly FCC / International radios. Whichever you choose, you need to make sure that the receiver is also flashed with the corresponding firmware (for EU/LBT or International).
