Before I order the the Flytrex thats on clearence for $30 I just want to make sure that it will work for my FC40 which I just prchased. It is 5.8ghz and has been connected to the software which already had the most current version. Will I run into any problems if I install the one on clearence? I believe I will need to also buy the cord for the phantom and will have to open up the body, correct?
You should not have any problems with it working if you get the cable with it to. and make sure to get the phantom cable when you order it cause they are getting hard to find the cables for the first version flytrex core..
and yes you do have to open up the shell and also need to find a way to route the cable to the outside the 2 easiest ways to do it is to either cut a tiny notch out of the edge of the shell and put some tape on the wire so it can pinch in between the 2 halves of the shell when its back together. or if you want to run it out of one of the holes in the legs you will have to take the wires out of the connector using a safety pin or a sewing needle to remove the wires and connector pins from the black plastic plug. then feed the wire threw one of the holes in the landing gear and then put the pins back in the plug.
On mine I did the notch and ran the wire out the side and then used some hot glue to keep the wire laying flat against the shell were i ran it down to the belly. and have it mounted between the camera and the usb port.
