secondo voi sarà gia in vendita in fiera??????

Si, possono fare gli ordini solo i rivenditori, è una fiera solo per addetti e non aperta al pubblico, solitamente le uscite in commercio dei vari modelli vengono distribuite nell'arco dell'anno.

[chetto1965]

Anche a me il tuttala non dispiace, poi il fatto che possa essere ripiegato per facilitarne il trasporto... visto che me lo porterei al mare per usarlo nel vicino pendio.... direi che potrebbe essere la soluzione ideale!

L'elicottero è bello grosso... peccato che io e gli elicotteri abbiamo pochissimo feeling.

Per quanto riguarda il Merlin... prima l'EG, poi il Fox ora il Merlin... tutti con la stessa linea... solo con dimensioni diverse.... ma che hanno alla MPX... gli stampi che si allungano e si accorciano per lavorare l'Elapor???

Comunque anche io mi aspettavo qualche sorpresa in più... come detto magari qualcosa di riproduttivo...

Bye

Prima le caratteristiche del sistema M-LINK:

M-LINK – MULTIPLEX 2,4 GHz FHSS System
M-LINK is a new radio transmission system from MULTIPLEX. It operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band, and is based on modern Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology.

The features of M-LINK are as follows:
● Automatic RF channel management
The need for the user to change the RF channel (plug-in crystals, Synthesizer) manually is eliminated. 2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum systems divide up the frequency spectrum automatically, and for this reason conventional frequency monitoring control is no longer needed. Interference due to “channel clashes” (as is possible on the 35, 40 … MHz bands) is virtually eliminated.
When the system is first used, all you have to do is “bind” the transmitter and receiver using a simple binding procedure. Once this is done, the receiver only recognizes and processes the signals broadcast by its own transmitter.

● Fast, accurate transmission of up to sixteen servo channels
Depending on the transmitter in use, the new MULTIPLEX M-LINK standard transmits:
- twelve servo channels at 14 ms pulse rate
- sixteen servo channels at 21 ms pulse rate at 12-bit resolution (3872 steps)

● Feedback capability / Telemetry
The 2.4 GHz ISM band provides the means of transmitting data from the model back to the transmitter. The receiver in an M-LINK system transmits the voltage of the receiver power supply to the transmitter in real time. If the voltage falls to a dangerous level, the transmitter generates a warning signal to alert the user.
Additional external sensors (e.g. voltage, current, temperature) can also be connected to M-LINK receivers designed for this facility.

● Diversity and dual-receiver operation
MULTIPLEX M-LINK DR (Dual Receiver) receivers are of very sophisticated construction, and feature two complete receiving circuits in one case (receiver diversity). Both circuits receive constantly, and the circuit compares the signal quality; at any one time the better signal is selected for further processing, and is passed on to the servo outputs with zero delay. If reception conditions are critical, and / or the model is particularly valuable, two receivers can be coupled together in the model; this minimises signal reflections and polarization effects which are typical of 2.4 GHz, and represents the highest possible level of security.

● Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology (FHSS)
The transmitter and receiver jump (hop) from channel to channel at the same rhythm, at intervals of just a few milli-seconds. The control data is actually transmitted during a fraction of this time. It is this brief period of occupation of each channel which minimizes signal conflicts and suppresses interference. Even if individual data packets are lost on individual channels, the constant high-speed process of hopping from channel to channel renders the interruption invisible to the pilot.

● Great range
The MULTIPLEX M-LINK system exploits the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) process. The radiated power approved for this system is 100mW EIRP, and in practice this results in radio range of more than 2000 m on the ground. In the air the effective range is even higher due to the more favorable propagation conditions. In simple terms this means an ample margin of safety, even for large-scale models.

● High data transmission security
The enormous bandwidth available on 2.4 GHz makes it possible to transmit much greater quantities of data than is possible, for example, on the 35 MHz band (bandwidth 2.4 GHz = 83.5 MHz; 35 MHz = 1 MHz). Digital modulation in conjunction with sophisticated error-checking and correction in the receiver ensure excellent data quality.

● High resistance to interference
Typical interference sources in the model, such as electric motors, electronic devices such as speed controllers, ignition units for internal combustion engines etc., generate interference over a spectrum whose maximum frequency is far below the 2.4 GHz range. This simply means that 2.4 GHz systems are virtually immune to interference from these sources, and this results in a further improvement in safety.

● HOLD / FAIL-SAFE function
If the receiver detects data which has suffered interference and is irreparable, it passes on the last valid data to the servos, thereby bridging the period of the signal loss (HOLD mode).
If interference continues beyond the (variable) HOLD period, FAIL-SAFE is activated, i.e. the receiver moves the servos to a programmable safety position (e.g. throttle off, control surfaces neutral). The FS positions are stored using a push-button at the receiver; some transmitters include a menu for this, enabling the Fail-Safe positions to be set “by radio”.

● Short transmitter / receiver aerials
The typically short 2.4 GHz transmitter aerials are more robust and easier to handle than conventional telescopic aerials, and they also do not interfere with the pilot’s field of view. Short receiver aerials are much easier to install in the model.

● High vibration resistance
Small, modern, highly integrated transceiver ICs replace ceramic components, coils and filters, all of which are susceptible to damage from vibration.

● Ready for LiPo
All MULTIPLEX M-LINK receivers feature a wide operating voltage range of 3.5 - 9.0 V, and are therefore largely immune to collapses in the power supply voltage. They are prepared for use with 2S LiXX batteries without voltage stabilization to (typically) 6.0 V.

● World-wide approval
Apparatus operating on the 2.4 GHz band can be used world-wide. The components of the MULTIPLEX M-LINK system fulfill all current directives and statutory requirements.

● Update-capable
All transmitters and receivers are equipped with modern Flash memory micro-controller technology, and can therefore be updated at any time. This means that system components can be brought up to the latest state of software development when technical innovations are introduced in the future, or when changes are made to regulations.


This is a Multiplex developed system and is a totally different and separate developement from the HiTec system.

occhio che l'elapor è un parente molto povero dell'EPP.
un tuttala in EPP VERO è per sempre, potete farci le peggio cose senza distruggerlo mai abbanstanza.

l'elapor invece si ammacca, sempre di più, un tuttala fatto così se usato per combat o cacchiate in pendio dura poco...

COCKPIT SX M-LINK

The COCKPIT SX is a very popular, proven seven-channel RC system intended for the ambitious beginner and demanding weekend pilot, and it is now available with the new MULTIPLEX 2.4 GHz M-LINK technology for even greater convenience and security.

The new system includes all the product characteristics and features of the COCKPIT SX:
Seven fully proportional control channels
Twelve model memories
Wide-ranging mixer and set-up facilities for fixed-wing models and helicopters
Two timers and separate transmitter operating timer
Generously sized, clearly arranged screen, carefully designed menu structure and 3-D digi-adjuster for ultra-simple operation.
Fully expanded as standard, including all controls and switches
Digital trims, specific to each flight phase
MULTIPLEX multi-function socket fitted as standard: transmitter battery charge socket, Trainer socket, PC interface for firmware updates, data management and simulator operation
Modern, ergonomically efficient case design


The new, additional advantages are as follows:
● Integral M-LINK 2.4 GHz transmission technology
A menu is provided as an easy and convenient means of activating the special operating modes of Binding and Power Reduction (for range-checking). This eliminates the need to operate buttons which may be difficult to reach or use.

● Feedback channel / Telemetry
If you use a receiver with telemetry facilities (min. RX-7-DR M-LINK or RX-9-DR M- LINK), the actual voltage of the receiver power supply is displayed on the transmitter screen. If the voltage falls below a (variable) minimum value, an audible warning signal alerts you that your receiver battery is almost flat. This means that you are constantly aware of the state of the receiver battery, as well as the condition of the transmitter battery (as previously). An important extra safety feature!

● Low latency, high resolution
The COCKPIT SX features an integral RF module. Unlike many other 2.4 GHz transmitters or retro-fit modular solutions, this means that the data does not have to be converted from conventional PPM or PCM format to the digital 2.4 GHz transmission format. The net result is that the system is capable of transmitting high-resolution, accurate control signals at very high speed. The COCKPIT SX M-LINK operates with a servo pulse rate of 14 ms and 12-bit resolution (3872 steps).

TIP:
If you already own a COCKPIT SX, you can easily transfer your model data to the new COCKPIT SX M-LINK using the COCKPIT SX DataManager PC program!

•
Cruciform trim buttons provide digital trims, specific to each flight phase
•
MULTIPLEX multi-function socket fitted as standard
•
(transmitter battery charge socket, Trainer socket, PC interface for firmware updates, data management and simulator operation).

The new, additional advantages are as follows:

● Fully integrated M-LINK 2.4 GHz transmission technology
The new M-LINK 2.4 GHz transmission technology is integrated into the transmitter without spoiling its elegant appearance.
A menu is provided as an easy and convenient means of activating the special operating modes of Binding and Power Reduction (for range-checking). This eliminates the need to operate inaccessible buttons or interpret complicated LED codes. The FAIL-SAFE positions in the receiver can also be set from the transmitter using a dedicated menu.

● 16-channel operation
One special feature of the ROYALpro 16 with the HFM4 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module is its ability to transmit sixteen fully proportional channels, i.e. it provides four auxiliary channels. These always operate with full servo travel, and are intended for supplementary working systems in the model. If you wish to exploit these additional channels you must use the RX-16-DR pro M-LINK 16-channel receiver.

● Feedback channel / Telemetry
If you use a receiver with telemetry facilities (min. RX-7-DR M-LINK or RX-9- DR M-LINK), the actual voltage of the receiver power supply is displayed on the transmitter screen. If the voltage falls below a (variable) minimum value, an audible warning signal alerts you that your receiver battery is almost flat.

This means that you are constantly aware of the state of the receiver battery, as well as the condition of the transmitter battery (as previously). An important extra safety feature!

You can also set up an on-screen display of supplementary telemetry data from the model (this requires sensors connected to the receiver, e.g. voltage, current, temperature). Typical applications: motor temperature, flight battery voltage, motor current drain. See page 21 for details of telemetry sensors.

● Low latency, high resolution
The ROYALevo and pro have always featured a digital RF module interface. Unlike many other 2.4 GHz transmitters or retro-fit modular solutions, this means that the data does not have to be converted from conventional PPM or PCM format to the digital 2.4 GHz transmission format. The net result is that the system is capable of transmitting high-resolution, accurate control signals at very high speed. The ROYALpro with M-LINK operates with a servo pulse rate of 14 ms in twelve-channel mode (21 ms in sixteen-channel mode) and 12-bit resolution (3872 steps).

● Quick-convert facility
If you wish to continue using your existing stock of receivers (PPM, M-PCM) utilising conventional FM technology, you will be interested in the quick-convert facility. It is possible to convert the transmitter at the flying field in less than one minute.
All you have to do is remove the HFM4 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module from the transmitter, withdraw the 2.4 GHz aerial from the aerial sleeve, and fit a conventional FM RF module and long telescopic transmitter aerial instead.

Note:
A retro-fit option is available for existing ROYALevo and ROYALpro transmitters utilising conventional FM transmission technology. However, your Royal EVO will need to be converted to the PRO spec software to operate on 2.4gig. Other than that, no new case back or other hardware is required!

HFM3 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module # 4 5610
The HFM3 M-LINK RF module is designed for the legendary MULTIPLEX PROFI mc series. PROFI mc 3010, PROFI mc 3030 and PROFI mc 4000 transmitters can easily be converted to the new MULTIPLEX M-LINK 2.4 GHz transmission technology using this module.

The conversion is accomplished by installing the 2.4 GHz aerial (with LED button for operating the 2.4 GHz RF module) in the transmitter together with the new aerial support plate, making a stylish combination. The special modes of operation Binding and Reduced Power (for range checking) are simply and conveniently activated using the newly installed LED button; this eliminates the need to use inaccessible internal buttons which may be difficult to operate. At the same time the LED supplies information about the operational status of the 2.4 GHz RF module, e.g. normal operation, binding or reduced-power mode for range checking.

If you use a receiver with telemetry facilities (min. RX-7-DR M- LINK or RX-9-DR M-LINK), and the actual voltage of the receiver power supply falls below a (variable) minimum value, an audible warning signal alerts you that your receiver battery is almost flat. This means that you are constantly aware of the state of the receiver battery, as well as the condition of the transmitter battery (as previously). An important extra safety feature!



13 / 16-channel expansion unit for PROFI mc 3000 / 4000 # 7 5810

If you install the HFM3 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module it makes sense to expand your PROFI mc 3010 or 3030 transmitter to thirteen fully proportional servo channels, or your PROFI mc 4000 to sixteen fully proportional channels. Large-scale aircraft often feature a large number of auxiliary working systems, and pilots of such models will certainly appreciate this advance.

To expand your transmitter you need the 13-channel / 16-channel expansion module for the PROFI mc 3000/ 4000 - and you’re ready to go: plug the circuit board into the HFM3 M-LINK RF module, and connect up to four additional controls to the board.

Control elements can be two-position switches, three-position switches or rotary proportional knobs. These can be installed in the transmitter in the standard installation wells at front right and left, adjacent to the screen.

If your transmitter is a PROFI mc 3010 / 3030, the expansion will give you channels 1 to 9 plus the auxiliary channels 10 to 13.
If you have a PROFI mc 4000, channels 1 to 12 are available plus the auxiliary channels 13 to 16. Please note that these four additional channels cannot be configured or adjusted using the transmitter’s software.

2.4 GHz aerial adapter lead for PROFImc # 7 5116
With the help of this adapter lead you can install the 2.4 GHz aerial in one of the switch installation wells from the side, instead of removing the ball socket for the 35, 40 ... MHz aerial. This makes it an easy matter to exchange the HFM3 M-LINK 2.4 GHz module for an FM RF module, even at the flying field:
- Undo the 2.4 GHz aerial lead connection
- Remove the 2.4 GHz module
- Insert the 35, 40, ... MHz FM RF module
- Screw the 35, 40, ... MHz aerial into place - job done!
