I believe the dx8 puts out higher PPM signal then the dx6i. I would try the link I posted here. It isnt to hard takes about 45 mins for a good solid job on it!

DRAGON LINK UPDATE

Shippnig has started for the new Version 2 Dragon Link system ALL previous orders for Dragon Link have shipped as of today ! Right now, I am working on the service list, and replacemets. I will open up sales this evening. This first batch is not huge, but the next batches already in process are large and only a few days from completion.

http://www.dragonlinkrc.com

ALL Dragon Link systems sold will ship within 24 hours from now on. No more waits, ever... I now have a stock control system that will stop sales until units are completed and ready to ship. If you do not see them in stock when you look, check back the next day, as we now have help, and much increased produciton. Batches will be completed faster and faster. I expect very quickly, that we will not be out of stock at all for Dragon Links.

Remember, Version 1 is discontinued, ALL shipments are now Dagon Link Version 2. The receivers are compatible for previous version Dragon Links, so if you need a new receiver for your versoin 1 Dragon Link system, no worries, the new RX can be programmed with version 1 firmware and it will work great, and have the new LED's which make installation much easier and allow you to see exactly what your Dragon Link system is doing. Here are some pictures of the new system.

Give this a shot its at your own risk however. just make sure polarity is right and you should be fine.

the radio is a dx8 and i know of people that have the same configuration with out any problems.

the reason why i need a quick response of the throttle is because i hand launch my ritewing ZII and i dont have the time to slowly put the throttle up.

HERE IS A LINK TO THE VIDEO WITH THE PROBLEM:

THANKS FOR THE HELP.
Hi,

We need to find out if the problem is with your ESC, or with your Dragon Link / radio connectoin.

Try this, hook up a servo to your throttle, and see if it responds perfectly or not. If the servo responds well, then we look at the ESC. If the servo acts the same as the ESC, then we look at your Dragon LInk connection / setup.

Mike

One thing I always advise for strange operation , or squirrly behavior, is to first:

Change the ID on your Dragon Link sytem.

Rebind your receiver.

Then run the Calibration process for 15 minutes.

This only needs to be done if the system is not working correctly. If your system is working correctly, and you ONLY want to increase your system performance and range, then:

Run the Calibration process for 15 minutes on each receiver.

This only needs to be done twice a year, I like to do it if there is a huge temperature change, say from Summer to winter. Doing the calibration every week will is not needed, nor will it increase your performance...

What if you sent in a version 1 rx for repair? Will you send the version 2 rx back to me or a version 1?

Version 2 looks so delicious. My hands can barely stop me from buying it. However I own v1 and thus I don't need to upgrade any time soon. Just feels very handy to have the power switch.

Have you thought about having 3 level power switch, Low(250mw), Med (500mw), High (850mw).

Anyway, great job :-)
