How to bind your Turnigy Cyclone Flybarless System to Spektrum DX8 G2 Transmitter.

Jul 28, 2018

Turnigy Cyclone Flybarless System did not bind to my Spektrum DX8 G2 v1.01 & v2.00.
You need to bind your radio gear with a profile name to a receiver and satellite. I used an orange R820X Receiver and used the same orange R110XL Satellite (others manufacture types available) and bound to my Spektrum DX8 G2 firmware v2.00 Transmitter first. Powered off the receiver and then transmitter.
Plugged the same orange R110XL satellite into the Turnigy Cyclone flybarless system. It appears to work now using a retract servo as test.
I have not adjusted the cyclone with the software as yet but know it has communication with my laptop there.
By the way if you have double COM port digits with the USB to serial converter i.e. COM10 then it may not work. It has to be COM port 9 or less. Easy enough to change in Ports & LPT under System in Windows under Device Manager and Advanced button - COM port x drop down selection. Find a free not in use port in your list.
Despite the instruction manual not clearly explaining things, a bit of frustration for setup information with some time lost. It was not a big deal as we like the hobby.
Support from HobbyKing is very good.
Overall Satisfied with the product.

Impossibile to use. Waste of money. His item has a manual translated with google. I tried to configure it, i spent 4 days reading forums, manuals and watching video on youtube. I ask HK to be refunded.

ok after some time i HAVE GOTTEN to writing a review of this unit, not my first time trying to setup a flybarless unit, but this had to be the easiest of all.(not going to list the other units i tried.) but as far as performance I am very happy, my tail has never felt locked in as ever( not even my futaba gy401 felt this solid!) recovers well if a tail blowout happens. great fn unit HK!. my set up is a 450 se clone all hk, with dfc head, CF upper plates, alum lower plates, HK-933 dig servo int cyclic, and corona ds-319mg in the tail and no problems so far.

Very frustrating! After waiting month to finally get the software and manual, still not able to set it up. Spend half day to figure out how to install a working driver for the USB cable, was able to connect it and run the setup wizard, but not anymore. Only thing it is doing is blinking. Waist of time and money. Very disappointed.

OK got my nice little Cyclone within a week of its order. for those setting it up, it is really easy, just follow the setup wizard in the software that you can download here, do not connect analog servos to it while setting it up. ( i fried a good hitec hs-65 in the proccess.) now a nice solid unit so far. hold really good. also you'll need to setup a extra channel for the gain control to the cyclic. good flying all. a good buy get one

i bought this eons ago with the promise of the manual or software to be posted about two weeks after it arrived here. until now they still cannot produce any instruction manual or software. it is a very expensive paper weight :( previous reviews have also been deleted
