Is it possible to get Esky USB controller working with Reflex simulator?
Perhaps by hacking up some cable so that it can be connected to the dongle.
I'd prefer using it instead of my real tx since I don't have to worry about
charging batteries but Reflex does not have support for USB controllers.

This what I did I cut the walkera connection off the 650niMH battery that
came with 22e heli and put a JST cooection on.Did same with the reciver
plug.Isnt it ok to change out the connector on the reciever?

The battery had 3 wires 2 red and 1 black.I solderd 1 red and 1 black to the
JST connector and just coverd the other red wire up.What did I do
wrong?PLEASE REPLY thank you.

I think it's fair to say you f.cked up in a big way Fred and you'll be
looking at buying a new Rx.

You're lucky though, coz if you were into anything big enough to REALLY call
a helicopter model, then your fuckups would cost a damned sight more than a
new Rx.

So maybe there IS a silver lining to the cloud that is electric mini copters
after all.

You're right, it doesn't, but if you remove either your Tx module or
crystal, the battery drain is so small you can "fly" for a week solid
without needing to charge the batteries.
