Help me convert this Piper Tomahawk to Electric

[tudordewolf]

Looks like it isn't compatible. I should have looked here first.

Do you recommend any of these over another.
Or would it be better to return the existing TX / RX and get one that is compatible with the R9DS like the Radio Link A series?

Maybe I am being too cheap trying to use this equipment. I see higher end radios that claim to be universal.

I apologize, I should've been more attentive with my recommendations and subsequent insistence that it'll work.

If you haven't given up on the brand I'd say to at least try an AT9S, that's the exact one I use, and trust my hours of handiwork with. There is admittedly a lack of "polish" in some of the interface, but I've been able to get everything I want from it for cheap, saving my money for planes & nitro engines.

I went with Radiolink because of the price, numerous features, and, pleasant experiences with their ground radios, and I haven't been burned yet, which may be lucky on my part. I'll be more careful with my recommendations.

I hear good things about the open-source OS based radios, running OpenTx. I have no experience on them and can't say much as a result, but I imagine that if you're technically inclined then those are probably the best option for power-users who don't want to spend $600+ on a 12-channel Spektrum radio and $100+ on receivers with more than 6 channels.

Oh gosh. Don't worry about that.
I am a rando guy on the internet that had the documentation right in front of my face but didn't read it.

I am going to get the AT9S you recommended. I did some searching and it looks like a good radio.
Edit: Also means I can keep the receiver I got and have 1 for each plane.

From grams to ounces, she might need a nitro engine.

Beautiful machine!

Beautiful machine!

Almost all birds had it during the first Euro war. The mighty Gnome rotary engine. Where the crank shaft was fixed and the prop and cylinders spun around it. Smell of castor oil is nizasty with this monster engine.

Yeah I understand some of the mechanics. The air/fuel is injected thru the center into the cylinders?
A bit terrifying to have so much rotating mass but just such a pretty engine!

I bet those cylinders kept cooled a lot better
