Hi
I have a Huanqi 899B quadcopter. The controller doesn't power on and one of the control sticks (stick rocker?) is broken. So now I'm thinking of sourcing a new controller. I have heard that, typically, the controller needs a corresponding receiver on the quadcopter, so it's not as simple as simply purchasing a new controller / transmitter. This brings me to two considerations.
1) Do you think that a cheap hobby drone such as this Huanqi 899B would go to the trouble of having unique transmitter / receiver pairing? Perhaps such a mass manufactured product might have identical components in every unit sold and therefore I should be able to simply purchase a new transmitter? I have to pair the controller to the drone each time I fly it, so the frequency is set each and every time.
2) If I am forced to purchase a new receiver, then surely I can purchase any transmitter that is associated. What should I look out for on the drone to know whether I can do this? Should it be a simple matter of removing 1 receiver and connecting another? Or are there other considerations to be aware of.
Any advice is welcome
