My Spektrum DX6i kit came with 2 x AR 400 receivers. The box also included the Phoenix 4 simulator and DX6i transmitter. The simulator works like a dream with the DX6i when connected to a large TV. I have upgraded the AR 400 to a AR6210 6 channel long range receiver. This was after hearing about short range planes flying away. The AR6210 will work with future telemetry modules.
I bought a 6 volt 5 cell 1500 mAh battery which had the correct connector to my switch. The binding process was easy after following the instructions. Once done I connected my servos and noticed they set to their normal position. This required me adjusting the horn again.
My battery charger was a middle of the range unit, that can charge a number of types and can run off 12v. This seemed logical if you are at the field and need to charge something. After setting all the correct charging settings. I.e Amps and Cycle rate, it was a matter of holding the start button in until it started.
It is possible to charge your receiver battery with the transmitter charger. This would take longer, however could save money.
The receiver and battery are protected with foam rubber to avoid any vibration that could cause a problem. The AR 400 aerial is very short, so fitted as required.
Testing the servos worked well and now they need to be adjusted for trainer mode.
