Your not misinformed, but a lot of people would rather have the additional functionality and range of an alternative receiver. Particularly if you just bought a 14SG set and have the R7008SB sitting there! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

If anyone in the UK wants the parts to make up the Main Battery Voltage in cable for the telemetry of their R7008SB, I have some. (This makes up the futaba part CA-RVIN-700) I had to buy enough parts to make up 5 cables and I only need 1, cover the cost of postage and I'll send them. (I better...

One of the two connectors goes back to the X2 port on the NAZA controller. Use this one. Plug it into the 8/SB or SBus2 port on your R7008SB. Make sure your R7008SB is set to Mode B or D (Instructions here http://manuals.hobbico.com/fut/r7008sb-manual.pdf) You should be good to go!

I see. Your missing the actual spring to centre? Unfortunately IIRC that's a service part, so you'll need to order it from Futaba or a decent dealer. The good news is, that I believe it's cheap to buy.

OK, someone else did all the hard work on this forum already, see here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3931 The R7008SB sends the Rx voltage without any external sensor attached, so there's nothing to swap. The e-fuelgauge plugs into the S-Bus on the R7008SB, but also needs the main supply from the...

My 14SG came with a kit (bit of sprung steel) that you can swap for the one thats pre installed on the back of the joystick. The spare one provides a smoother ratchet apparently. I took the back of the Tx to fit it (about 4 or 5 screws I think), but when I took the originally installed ratchet...

My 14SG needed one screw removing to change the throttle from Ratchet to Free Moving (Centre Sprung), like the DJI Tx. (UK supplied Aero version)

Loctite 248 or similar is fine. It's for removable fixings, more of an anti rattle strategy. Every screw / Bolt I've taken out of the Phantom 2 has had it factory applied - including the screws that attach the gimbal mount to the PH2, just not the Anti Drop Bolts. I will admit there is...

Hi Brandon, I was in a very similar situation 2 weeks ago, having not flown an RC model for about 30years. Rest assured, its straight forward. I swapped the DJI radio for the 14SG / R7008SB before first flying the Phantom2. A couple of hours on Youtube will give you all the info you'll need. If...

I lost 2 Anti Drop bolts today. Definite oversight by DJI not to Loctite these, but a good reminder to check screws and bolts regularly.

I may just have been lucky, but I stuck a 5g servo on top of the camera. It hasn't upset the Gimbal and operates the shutter button. I'm using a Futaba 14SG / R7008SB so have assigned it Channel 8. I have to select the mode before flying (Video / Photo), but that's fine for me.....maybe I...

I am new to Quads, but bought a P2 Gimbal version last week. I have added GP 3+Black, MiniOSD and Fatshark Attitude transmitter. I have read many many forums and viewed many videos on Phantoms / FPV / Radios and I came to the conclusion that replacement radio was the way to go to protect my...
