Thank you for making this helpful video!!! I have an unrelated question. Where did you get the little plastic/vinyl covers for your toggle switches? They look like automotive vacuum caps. Are those made just for transmitters? Thanks in advance from North Carolina, USA. (My grandmother was from and lived through the blitz in Stoke-on-Trent . ) cheers!

@TotalRCOfficial Жыл бұрын

Hi Jackie, thank you! No these are not specifically for transmitters, in fact they are quite a tight fit but easy enough to do if you can warm them a little. I have just put a link to them on Amazon in the description so you may need to refresh the video to see it :) I can no longer find the orange version but you may have more joy in the US. Stoke-on-Trent is nice, but probably not during The Blitz 😆 I hope you have subscribed!! 😉

Hello! I'm considering getting a "real transmitter" for my RealFlight sims. I don't have any real world RC aircraft experience - and I probably won't in my area. I'm wondering, will I have to care for the transmitter batteries like the aircraft batteries? Or can I just run the transmitter with it plugged into the PC? Thanks!

Hey, your PC won't power a 'proper' transmitter so you will have to take care of the batteries. Most ship with rechargeable batteries so that is no drama :)

So, to sign switches for Evolution, I need to set them up in the radio, DX9 in my case, not in the simulator? Is that why I can't find the switch assignment page in the simulator anymore?

Using the dongle is super easy. Press the bind button as you insert the dongle then bind it to your transmitter like you would to a new model. The transmitter just thinks it's a new airplane.
