Any news on the GPS sensor ?

Is it still coming?

Yes, soon. I was flying one on Saturday, then today we played it back on the STi - pretty cool! It showed me exactly where the -8.01g happened where the canopy snapped off my Stryker!

andy could you help me just put rpm sensor on thunder tiger 91 4 stroke how can i get the true rpms I put it about .25 from back of eng

You just have to fiddle with the position. Some installations need it close to the crank, others need it farther away.

Pull the glow plug (so it doesn't start) and flip the prop. When you see the red light on the TM1000 blink as you flip it, that's the right position.

What's the best place to solder on the Flightpack Voltage leads - in the middle of the wire or at the EC3 connector?

Does does anyone recommend buying a bridge/jumper like this: http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...rodID=SPMA9556

Excellent, cant wait for the GPS.

There are several ways to do it.You can hard solder them into the leads.You can simply poke a small hole in the batt lead and stuff the TM lead into the pinhole until it makes contact and then shrinktube or tape the connection.You could also put a connector on the TM lead and plug it into the balance tap on the pack itself.
IMO theres really no "best" place.It depends more on what is most practical in a specific situation.

Never thought of this. Didn't know female connectors for balance plugs are even available. Do you have a link?

I pick them up from flea-bay.Its about the only place I can reliably find them stocked at a reasonable price.

Try Digi-Key sometime.

+1 on Digi-Key as well.

got a problem with the alt meter will read on the dx8 up to about 400 ft then will read 0.3 ft . sometimes it just reads every now and then

Answered in your PM, but for the rest of the world:

It sounds like the altimeter might be resetting (loss of power). Check both ends to make sure there are no intermittent connections.

Make sure you have plenty of power. The TM1000 uses about the same as 2-3 regular servos. If your BEC is borderline, it may not be able to provide enough power to run telemetry.

Andy, I'm getting ready to set-up telemtry on my new PZ T-28 with a TM1000/6210 combo. Everything is stock. Will the TM1000 create a power drain or brownout issue ? Should I be looking at a separate BEC?

Does the jr 11x, dsmx version, work with the tm1000?
