Multiplex Cockpit SX in Hahnenmoos

My blog has been a little quiet, so let me bring you up to date.

In August I spent a fantastic stag weekend in Hahnenmoos in the Swiss alps with a group of F3F flyers from the UK and Switzerland, all at the kind invitation of our Swiss F3F flyer friend Stefan Bertschi.

Multiplex web site changes

Multiplex appear to have done a big revamp to their web site, which has a new more modern look. The site does have a few issues though - it seems painfully slow at times, and the content of the English version is incomplete.

Among the content missing from the English section are the USB drivers for the data cable (#85149). These drivers are required by the Launcher program. If you can't find the USB drivers in the English version, just dip into the German version and you'll find them there.

iCharger 106B - impressions

A few months ago, I decided to replace my aging Schulze 330d charger. In truth I never really took to it - the menu navigation and a lack of flexibility made it frustratingly awkward to use. I also wanted something with a built in LiPo balancer.

Unboxed! The Cockpit SX M-LINK

As promised, some photos of the 'unboxing' of my new Cockpit SX M-LINK. First I should explain that the 'Action' which I bought last week had to be go back to the shop - the trims were malfunctioning due to a hardware problem. As West London Models had no more Actions in stock, I exchanged it for an 'Elegance' instead.

My Multiplex Cockpit SX. It's in there, somewhere!

Let me introduce you to my latest R/C system. Yes, I know you can't tell from the photo, but take it from me, it is bright yellow, and it has one of those diddy little aerials which mark you out as a thoroughly modern modeller!

Cockpit SX 2.4 GHz - new variants spotted

Last weekend, at the Wings n Wheels model show, I finally got to see Multiplex's newly launched Cockpit SX variants, the 'Elegance' and the 'Action'.

Spektrum DX10t - Beauty or beast?

This weekend  I should have been flying at the F3F Nationals in Wales, but a last minute commitment on Sunday forced me to withdraw. Every cloud has a silver lining though, and I was at least able to visit the annual 'Wings 'n Wheels' model show on the Saturday, where I cast my eyes on the new Spektrum DX10t.
