I have just bought 2 of these new flight controllers. What they say is it works with DSM2 satellites but they dont.
Looking into it but as expected its smoke and mirrors.. on the one page WIKI it say suitable for Spekturm DX6 and DX8.. it does not work with DX8 and I dont own a DX6.... but then I am looking at flying the worlds most advanced multi rotor flight controller so why would I!!

Anyhow just a warning... I just thought it would work and it would be a seem less transplant.. it aint.. thai is unless you are FUTABA user.. so Futaba users does it work??

Which radios work with this ne controller.. what about telemetry?

DJI say t=you can use any TX via thir converter but hey guess what..... yep they aint available!! GREAT

Good info, I was about to buy one. I am using a Futaba 14SG so the issues may not be the same but I am sure there is some. I would love to hear input from the DJI A2 Futaba users.

Seems like DJI are going very proprietary, with this "our converter stuff! I wonder how much extra that will cost?

Well, if Fat-tuba is all they're really going to support then I guess I'll never be buying one ... you couldn't pay me to use futaba gear. That's really stupid.

Dave ...

Spektrum satellites come in two flavours, We have one that is simply labeled DSM2 and others that are marked with a large X. I've always thought that one is DSM2 and the other DSMX. They do not seem to be interchangable. May be worth checking yours.

If it works OK with Fut aba then OK but it needs to work with Dragon Link or EZ-UHF to be in the pro end of where it's at.

DX18 bind failed sucks! I will get a new Futaba 18MZ by Tmrw or Tuesday. I think DJI will maybe new firmware for spectrum compability?

Never ceases to amaze me on the lack of detailed info DJI put out. Watch the Futaba link video. WHY is this info not in the manual. So what are us Sektrum users doing wrong?

DJI. Care to comment?

NO STILL DONT BUY ONE! The latest so called instructions for binding to DSM2 Spektrum systems does not work.

THIS IS PANTS DJI GET IT SORTED

AND WHERE IS TGHE SBUS COVERTER????? at least then we may be able to use one of these things with Spektrum TX equipment

WHY OH WHY WOULD YOU BUILD IN A FUTABA RECEIVER THAT CANT EVEN SEND TELEMETRY BACK

Andy I DONT WANT TO USE FUTABA! the quality of TX is absolutely pants compered with the DX18.
IF THEY - DJI had built in telemetry then I may have been tempted but they didn't.. Just a total wist of space and resources to build in a futaba RX in the 'MOST ADVANCED' flight controller!

Rather than wait for DJI, could you use a Futaba SBE-1S.bus adaptor. It seems to do the same as the DJI vapour ware.
