I have an Eurgle 2.4 Ghz 9 channel radio.

My question is can I bind a micro NON Eurgle receiver to my radio set for use in tiny models?

Which receiver make and model would you recommend?

normally with the 2.4ghz kit you need a like for like compatiblity on the tx/ rx

Hi Greggy,

your radio is sold under a lot of different brand names like Eurgle, iMax, Turnigy or FlySky (which is the manufacturer). All these brands are compatible. But be careful: there was a change in the HF-modul/receiver. So it's important to have a look at the version. Eurgles 3rd generation is compatible with Turnigys v2 and FlySkys b-version. The older versions have a satellite on their receivers while the new versions have a single antenna with a red heat shrink at its end. Hope that helps.

This is the down side of these 2.4 set-ups. With old 40mhz you could use almost any rec of the right sort with the right crystal.
Now, with 2.4  you are limited to the same make.
I find it difficult, if not impossible to locate extra receivers for my "old" Turborix. You may be able to program it for lots of boats but you can't find lots of recs

Hello

Thanks for the replies

My receiver has a little box thingy on a long lead that sprouts from the main receiver (the satellite referred to?) so I guess mine is an older generation model . . .

How do I know which model version I have?

My transmitter has a label on the base which states 'N 14782' is this the model number?

Does this mean I have to find an older model 2nd receiver?

I've been digging and one of the aircraft forums suggest this model receiver is compatible . . . . can anyone second that?

Hi Greggy

I also came across this TR6A receiver and it seems to be compatible but it's only 6 channel. Your receiver with this "little box thingy" on it is the old version and there seem to be no receivers available for it any more.
This old version has a big disadvantage: it only uses a single frequency in the 2.4GHz band and is very prone to interference because of that. Maybe it would be better to change HF-module and receivers to a better system. This could be the actual FlySky system which is quite cheap. If you need failsafe the FrSky system would be worth looking at. It available with and without telemetry. Have a look at the GiantCod.co.uk online shop for more info.

Hello Chameo,

Thank you for the advice, I assuming when you talk of the HF-module you refer to the box that plugs into the back of the transmitter above the battery compartment? And you can buy these with matching receiver?

The grand plan is to attempt to fit 2 channel radio gear to my beer can sailing ship project using tiny servos and receiver.

I'm used to the old 27 MHz AM radio systems so all this 2.4GHz technology is new to me so all advice greatfully received.

I'm equally all at sea with Li-Polimer battery technology but looking at modern parkfly air craft I can use a tiny and more importantly light battery to power the radio in the boat, it only needs to be powerful enough to drive two servos and the receiver, any advice?

[Chameo]

Hi Greggy,

yep, the HF-module is the box into the back of the transmitter and yes, you can buy these with matching receivers. I've bought my FrSky HF-module and some receivers at GiandCod. FrSky has a tiny 7 channel receiver and an even smaller 4 channel receiver which would be great for your project.

The guy from rcmodelreviews.com built a nitro powered biplane with a FrSky receiver and servos powered by a single 3.7V lipo cell. So this could be the right choice for your boat, I guess.

I don't know if the HK-TR6A will work with 3.7V too, but it would be the cheaper solution instead of buying a complete new HF-module and receivers for this fun project.
