Radio help

[Tom wheeler]

Hi guys

Been lurking for a little while but need a bit of help from you fine people.

I'm looking to start an f450 based build and was wondering about using the radio gear from my 3d heli. It's a venom night ranger 3d with a 6ch transmitter and receiver. I realise long term this may not be the best solution but in the short term will I be able to get up and running with this?


Thanks

Tom

Is the radio and receiver specific to the heli? Can you get a receiver to use
with the quad your building or will you have to scavenge it out of the heli?

Thanks for your reply

It may be heli specific as the main rotor n tail rotor had separate cables coming out of the reciever then the servos were plugged into the front

I'm not sure if you can use a different reciever I'm struggling to find info on the TX

6 channels will work for a quad (needs 4 minimum) My Naza uses 7. The main 4 plus gps/atti/man for one then IOC for another other plus the fail safe switch.

Hi mate the transmitter must be able to do an aero setting ( plane) cp helis are 6 channels and use ccpm mix if you cant disable this it will not work on a quad
