Moving because there are now too many "rogue" flyers out there. I may only use 2.4 on bigger, more expensive stuff which is why I'm doing it this way. There is a switch available, that once everything is inside the TX case willl allow me to swicth between 2.4 & 35.
On the insurance note, I checked the unit and it has a CE mark on the back. Not sure if that counts for much?
Fred, I've emailed the pin outs ,but found this on converting a Cockpit on the T9 website
"Conversion for MPX Cockpit SX Documented by Peter Barnet:
To use the FRSKY V8 hack module with the MULTIPLEX COCKPIT SX transmitter will
require the following items:
(1) a 7- pin din plug
(2) a small plastic box
try Maplins for both of the above.
For the sake of simplicity the pin numbering of the din plug is as follows :
From the inside of the plug eg the solder side, the pins are numbered in a clockwise
direction starting from the left hand pin which is no. 1. Then following around in a
clockwise direction to no. 7 which is obviously on the right-hand side.
Solder the signal wire to pin no. 3.
The red wire to pin no. 4
The black wire has to be soldered to pin nos. 5 and 6
Insert the module into your chosen box, drill two holes in the box to take the
binding switch and LED. Basically that is the conversion over with ... you can
attach the box to the back of your transmitter with velcro or you can build it into
your transmitter tray as I did.
Fit the 7-pin plug to the charge/trainer socket on the top of your transmitter and
switch on. The LED on the module should glow red and the display on the transmitter
should read DSG which shows that the transmitter thinks it is running a flight
simulator programme. A second press on the transmitter jog wheel brings up the
normal operating screen for the transmitter as would be if you were operating on
35mg. Obviously there is no 35mg being radiated from the transmitter."
