How do you guys balance the 2.4 14mz? With the 2.4 module, it will have a tendency to flip backwards if the normal strap hook point is used. I have seen some balancing fixtures that can be bolted on the strap hook, but I'm not sure if anyone's making this commercially for the 14mz?

well I don't see it as a issue since I'm a thumber myself but I think that most systems made for other radios should work on the 14mz?

It seems like they would take balance into consideration when they make these modules... Weight them or something! A $2200 radio should be balanced!

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter

It does balance when being used with the normal aerial.

I have asked the same question to Futaba (Japan), as I do not think that the Spektrum fixing will work on the 14MZ.

Looks like I'll have to make my own if that's the case.

Pls post some pics of your own version when it's ready. Thx

I think the spektrum balancer can be used - picture courtesy of RealRaptors

Hi simon, can you post a couple of close-up pics around the 14mz strap hook? After tightening the lock nut, can the balancer still rotate during use? The protrusion of the balancer might also be a problem when putting back the radio into the radio case?

I solved my problem like this:

However, the spektrum balancer looks nice. The only thing thats wrong is that you can't tight it down as is. You need a 4mm self locking nut and put it on backwards so it will lock into the 14mz strap hole or it will slip no matter how hard you tighten it up

Hi its mine,the balancer is set using a slightly longer bolt and use the bush with a washer and not using the DX7 fitting on the bottom. Set it up once and leave it.

Cool.. ill order the spektrum piece for mine.
