rx crystal issue

I just ordered a 2nd Q - a bind and fly. Just realized that the crystals may not match. I need another rx crystal for the b&f that will work with my old tx. Any ideas? I couldnt find any to match that frequency on the websites, I dont understand how this works.
PS I really recommend Q's.
A few people have complained about the quality of the radio though.
The skids are ok. I find that I need to tape the batt cage or the batt will come out on hard landings. And everyone is taping the main blades. They dont break nearly as fast that way

Hi cgage,

If your Quark is 'Bind n Fly' then there are no crystals. You should have a binding plug which plugs into the Rx (see manual for details). usual system is:

1 Bind plug in

2 Rx on (plug in heli battery) Rx light flashing

3 Throttle to closed then, Tx on holding Bind toggle (see manual, usually trainer switch)

4 Wait for bind tone or Rx bind light (see manual, usually Rx light steady)

5 Remove bind plug BEFORE turning Tx off (but check your manual)

6 Rx off

That's it you should have control when you run the system up again.

N.B. This is not written in stone and some Tx/Rx's may be different even with the same model if there has been a radio upgrade,
So check the manual it is very important that you do this to the book.
