Completed my newly acquired Esprit 3 Universe conversion tonight with a new module I got from
t9hobbysport.com. I removed the 40meg module, and internal module daughter-board, as per
danmurphy's conversion, and positioned my frsky module in the void, servo-taped to the back case. I soldered the three-pin connector to a shortened the module lead.
I decided not to drill anything and mount the bind module behind the dataconnector plug, as the dataconnetor is removed with the module daughter-board. I don't need this anyway, so locating the bind module in here is a really good option, held in place with hot glue. I shortened the bind module lead as well as not to have any slack.
I mounted the antenna in the regular antenna hole. Just had to trim away some of the inside plastic lip to get a straight fit.
The tranny can very easily be restored to it's original condition, removing the frsky module, and replacing the internal module daughter-board. Works perfectly and i'm really happy with how this conversion came out. It's super tidy, you wouldn't know its been done, other than the fact there is no external module on show.
Lipo conversion next!
