I recently purchased the Lynxmotion Hunter V-Tail 400 QuadCopter (Base Combo Kit + MultiWii Flight Controller). The website didn’t say that purchase of a receiver (sold separately) was required, but the electronics and wiring guide shows the use of one.
What kind of receiver do I need to purchase? I also need to purchase a transmitter. What transmitter is compatible with the recommended receiver? I would like a minimum of 5 channels (throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder/YAW, Aux 1), but an additional Aux function (Aux 2) would be nice as long as the price hike isn’t too great and the MultiWii MPU6050 flight controller is compatible with a 6-channel configuration.
For a MultiWii flight controller, you need a transmitter / receiver with the ability to adjust the “End Points”.
This function extends the signal output of the receiver to about 120%.
From your description, it sounds like the MultiWii MPU6050 is ready to receive remote control signals. Is the antenna built into the flight controller?
The MultiWii flight controller can be connected to an R/C receiver directly but doesn’t have the receiver’s capabilities (the receiver has the antenna).
In the manual you can see the picture of the MWC connected to a standard R/C receiver and the procedure to connect it with the supplied wiring harness.
