I’ve enjoyed your site and reading about your club.  I leave in Hoover (Bham) and plan on heading South to check ya’ll out.  I purchased a Nirvana from Steve Lang a couple of weeks ago.  I had been reading about the radios and crystals so I got the Spectrum and if my understanding is correct it will find an open channel or frequency and I will not have to “take up” one of the others.  When I got the boat and put the batteries in the transmitter it started smoking so after talking to Steve I sent it back to Horizon Hobby and hopefully it will be back soon (Steve offered to send a “lender”  but I guess I’ll just wait).

 

I had registered on SailRC’s site to join Nirvana Club so I could get some numbers but have yet to receive any reply.  I thought I could at least be getting those made.

 

I also wanted to ask to anyone that has any experience with the Spectrum radio.  Will I have to “bind” it to the two servos’? If so how.  The instructions in the manual are confusing.

 

I hope to visit ya’ll one Saturday Sail day soon and find out more about RC Sailing.

Welcome to the club. Looks like this weekend is a wash but hopefully next weekend will be different. I would say the best way to get your boat set up is just bring it and let the "experts" set it up. Getting the Spektrum radio was a good choice beyond the channel thing. You will see once you start sailing. Binding the radio will take about 5 minutes once the "experts" remember how to do it. Also my experience is that the controls are backwards on the Spektrum witch will take about 5 minutes to correct. Its just another programming &nbsp;;problem. We are just a bunch of "good guys" that enjoy getting together. If your boat is not ready next week just come on down and I'm sure you will have a great time. I'll bet their will be an extra boat somewhere for you to try.
