Radio control in its simplest form. Once for right, twice for left!

Multiplex typically used the DIN socket for charging (normally a 6-cell NiCd, later NiMH cell pack) and for buddy box operations, depending on how "specked up" your particular Tx was.iflylilplanes wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 03:33 ......The 5 pin socket just to the left above the module plug, what is it for?, stock, it's unused, in your conversion you have a plug in it, what have you plugged into it? ......
From the picture, it appears to be a plug-in expansion or customising board - in this case, for differential ailerons (and maybe CAR?). The fact that it has a socket on top indicates that it accommodates stacking of expansion boards (piggy backing). I've never looked inside one of these 'sport' radios, so I'm speculating - All my Tx's were sufficiently 'high end' that such options were replaced by programming options.iflylilplanes wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 03:33 ......What is the extra board in the lower left corner of the case? it's not in the stock TX, yours or mine.
The left plug as someone said is for a diferential mixer ( two aileron servos, adjustable diferential ).Its not mounted on the Europa, but if you look more closely to the comby80 it has it installed. You can se a plug there and the rest of the mixer is in the lower LEFT side but above the baterys. When seen from the front you can apretiate the 3 Black adjustment knobs ( on the lower RIGHT if seen from the front of the radio. )iflylilplanes wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 03:33 Your Europa is almost identical, mine has a slider below the power switch (the only difference), but it's not plugged in.

Thanks,
I've known Peter Pine for over 30 years, still fly in comps with him now and again. I'll email him to night, Thanks Wayne.Wayne_H wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 05:11 Just thought of another option for you. Peter Pine in Armidale was the Multiplex importer in Aus for a long time, including when these radios were being sold. I've lost contact with Peter, but last I heard he was still around and doing the occasional comp or rally. edit I just did a quick search - Peter is contactable at http://www.flyelectric.com/
Hope this helps.
Not the one on the front of the case Wayne, the one in photo 3, just above left of the where you plug the module in.Wayne_H wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 05:11 Hi Dave,
