Could not wait so I got professional help( Nandakumar ) for converting my Futaba Tx to dual frequency 72Mhz + 2.4G using a Assan X8D module also known as hack Module .

Here are a few Photos .
It works like a breeze  I have Video but  due to software issues I am grappling with resolving them.

The Module price Rs 4450/- + receiver Rs 1800/- .

A question to the senior people in here..

Thank god we have these modules which can convert your mhz tx to 2.4ghz for very very less price compared to the original 2.4ghz..

So my question is, does tat mean the people who fit these modules in their tx have less features compared to the original tx also i saw a hack modules which are 8ch so can we fit these modules on our 6ch tx ??  Grin stupid question..

I think mr.sai would knw better since he is the only indian guy who has done this kind of conversion as far as i knw...kudos..

Atul ,
Ashta has also done this in Bangalore  as far as I know and so has Ismail in UK.

The Module is good for transmitters up to 8 channel .

In the wiring you are only adding a Module into your tx along with the existing FM circuit hence logically it should not affect other functions of the Tx because you are only changing the carrier waves not to the basic electronics of the Tx , I might be wrong but other experts like Ismail ,Saju etc. can better answer your clarifications.

BTW  I checked up and found that any transmitter that has a PPM board can be fitted with this so old AM tx's can also be reused.

That is good info I was mainly focusing on the hack module because that is what I have bought .
Lets see how it works will keep you guys posted.
Will know this week end when I test it out .

As they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating , there might be many reports but what applies to you is what is important.

Now you can convert any PPM transmitter to 2.4Ghz with the new X8D X8-Hack module!
Provided your transmitter has an inbuilt PPM board (99% of radios do), all you will need to do is solder 3 wires, insert the X8 unit and plug in the antenna!

My personal view is i never want to open the radio and fiddle with electronics.

I am a Corogamist!
I am using the X8F module for my 9Z transmitter. Works like a charm. However, I am not sure how to do a range check. Normally, in 2.4GHz tx you have a low power mode.. you do range check in that mode. But in our converted TX, we do not have a method to set it to low power mode. I just made sure that I can control the model from the other side of the field and it worked.

So my question is, does tat mean the people who fit these modules in their tx have less features compared to the original tx also i saw a hack modules which are 8ch so can we fit these modules on our 6ch tx ??  Grin stupid question..

Yes Atul, the 8 ch module with fit for any TX with less than or equal to 8 channels. Only requirement is that your TX should be PPM type (it can be either AM or FM).
Imagine it as a train having 8 carriages... each carriages carry your control information to your receiver.. If you have only 4 controls then the last 4 carriages will be empty.. thatz it.

BTW, you will have all the features that your current TX offers.. its just to transmission endpoint that you have changed. I do not think a normal or even a reasonably advanced pilot would require all the features of the high end TX... Most 6 to 8 ch Comp TX will fit the bill.

I picked up the X8F combo pack

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8286

Comes with a 6 ch and a 7 ch receiver.

Looks like these X8 modules are selling like hot cakes.. You have to wait until you get the next stock in. Just a few weeks before it was like +152 units now its -42!!

Why is there a voltage protector separately and the binding plug separately.

i have used a 2.4ghz earlier, not sure of the voltage protector but the bind plug is used to link the rx and tx and is a mandatory process for all 2.4ghz tx..after the rx is linked with the tx the bind plug can be removed and put away..its simply a process to link the master and slave..no need to link it again if you save the settings on your tx..

Hi ismail, thanks for answering my question..

cheers

Nope.  For Futaba FASST/2.4, all you need is to press a small button on the RX for a few seconds.  No need for bind plugs, and no need for the tricks one has to play with a servo extension when a bind-plug is not available when needed.

Atul i do know why bind plugs are used. my question was why is it separate. Also the voltage regulator is it for rx. So does the rx have problems as it requires a external voltage regulator.
