Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that we recently opened an online store called ParkeFlyer. We are a small company located in Austin, Texas, USA, focused on RC products that get you out of the garage and your plane in the air.
Our flagship product is the Flyer9x RC transmitter. We've taken the very popular Turnigy 9x, aka FS-TH9x, and performed extensive modifications to make it one of the best radios on the market... definitely the best in this price range. We start by bench testing all components to confirm quality. Next, we add a white LED backlight to the display, then upgrade the gimbal sticks, load er9x firmware with added ParkeFlyer example models, color code the switches (that are referenced in a new er9x manual), and include an all important neck strap. The Flyer9x is one fantastic 2.4GHz RC radio. We're working on instructional videos for the Flyer9x that will be beneficial to anyone flying with er9x. (If you have never heard of er9x, you are in for a treat. er9x is an open-source firmware written by RC pilots just like us, except they have mad programming skills. It's specific to the 9x transmitter and it transforms it into a fully featured radio that can meet or beat functionality of radios that cost $500+. Visit our site and visit 9xForums in addition to this forum to learn more about it.)
We also sell a great battery kit for the Flyer9x or any 9x radio on the market. We've bundled a 1800mAh LiFePO4 battery with a custom adapter cable to plug directly into the 9x, and a custom banana-plug style charging cable for use with common LiFe/LiPo battery chargers. You won't find a better or safer battery kit for your 9x, anywhere.
Come visit our site to learn more about these products and also our Flyer Gadgets kit... a true bargain on some must-have gadgets to have in your plane and at the field.
FliteTest has been a great resource for me since the beginning, and I aways feel like I can relate to their approach to the hobby. (And the videos are so damn entertaining and nice to look at!) I hope you will find ParkeFlyer's ethos to be very compatible with the FliteTest way.
Thanks, and I'll see you on the forums. Fly Now.
