I am a newbie to both this site and the RC Heli hobby. I am trying to pick up as much information as I can before I attempt to “take flight”. So far I am still grounded and I am requesting some help to get me going.
Some background first. I just purchased the 4 CH Hummer-370XL HSM-01. Included in the package was a Simulator Kit (driver, cable and TX). The label on the front of the TX reads: Digital Proportional Channels 6 Radio Control System. On the back is a Trainer Port. The cable supplied with the kit attached to the back of the TX but not my Microsoft Windows XP Laptop computer. The supplied cable has a female Serial plug, matching the one on the computer. So I bought a male Serial plug to USB converter wire. I loaded the driver supplied with the new cable and inserted the SKY simulator disc in the (D) drive.
Results of my actions: I am able to use the keyboard to control the Heli but when I try using the TX I get nothing. The Heli just sits on the launch pad and slowly rotates. Can you please give me a direction in which to turn? You help would be greatly appreciated!
