I just got my 3PK 1/2 an hour a go and went to install my Spektrum module which I have been previously been using in my CRX. The module fits but the cover will not, not because of the aerial binding with the side but because the Spektrum module appears too thick to allow the cover to get anywhere near being able to slide in and locate on properly.

Anyone else had this?.

Scratch that, managed to get it fitted!. Went on with no mods at all, but it was very tricky. For those who may find themselves in a similar situation here is how I did it.

Insert the Spektrum module into the module carefully and push it down so that both sides are clipped in place, then un-clip the side facing away from the display (Right hand side from front), and then tilt it up slightly. What you have to do is slide the covers pegs into the locating slots and then push the other end down flush against the top of the Spektrum module. Be very careful doing this as you may snap off the pegs. Once the cover is sitting flush on the angled Spektrum module attempt to pull the cover away slightly (But do not dis-locate the pegs), then push the cover and module back into place so it sits flush, once your there slide it back accross so that everything slips into place. I must urge you to be careful, Futaba plastics are very brittle and exerting so much force on those pegs is enough to kill them.. You have been warned!.

Some members have had problems because of the module cover catching the edge of the antenna mount and dremeled it slightly. However, it also appears from some of the posts that the module cover may have been recently changed slightly, so it may not always be a problem and may just depend on when the transmitter was actually constructed.
