[RCSE] data storage for JR9303

2005-04-14 Thread James R MacLean
So, I have this new JR9303 transmitter and am thrilled with it.  BUT, I
have finally found something of a weakness. I would like to store
(backup) the data which I have labored to optimize for each plane and
there could be up to thirty planes.  The options appear to be two:
another transmitter using the transfer menu and a Data Safe to a PC. 
Both are expensive as the Data Safe stuff costs over $100. To put this
into my perspective, a 16 model storage memory for my Futaba 8U is easily
made costing about $8.  Are there any other options (besides paper!)
which are available or buildable?

When I first got my 9303, I tried to get it to work with the Datasafe2.  It
wouldn't work, and I don't think there is any JR backup solution for the
9303 at this time, except for backing up to another TX.  There is a third
party solution, but I haven't tried it yet:

http://www.macgregor.co.uk/dataxchange.htm

Setting aside how ridiculous it is in 2005 to have a PC interface that
requires a breakout box and uses the trainer cord instead of just going to a
standard USB interface for all I/O functions, the old breakout box should
work with the 9303 in theory.  But it would require new software and I
understand that the developer who created the DataSafe utility has not yet
been contacted by JR to update it for the 9303.

RE: [RCSE] data storage for JR9303

2005-04-14 Thread Hall, Stuart A
I find it amazing in this day of cheap electronics that something at this price 
point should not include a rather inexpensive USB interface. What'd it cost to 
add it once you divide it out by all the units sold - $10? Sheesh - such a 
really nice radio. On the same hand, it costs $40 to add this backup feature to 
the Evo radios via the standard interface cable. 
 
At least the 14mz seems to be going in the generally right direction. Like 
everything else, its technology will eventually trickle down.

The reason for these boxes is to prevent unpaid copying of the software.  The 
box is actually a hardware key, not easily copied by consumers.  The software 
will likely refuse to run without that key.  All the RC simulators over $100 do 
the same thing.

[RCSE] Evo vs 9303

2005-04-14 Thread Lydon, Matthew (NBC Universal)








I'm seriously considering either an Evo or a 9303 -
opinions?



I like the idea of the variable 'digi' mixers on
the evo, and also like the idea of any function to any channel. The synth/scanner
function would be awesome, as would the battery management features.

On the down side, I have a feeling that the programming it
is a royal pain - pun intended. Mixers being global sounds like a bummer,
too.



The 9303 seems to have terrific programming, but lacks all
these other things.

Given that the 9's cost about the same - which is
ultimately BETTER

[RCSE] PRIMER AND SCRATCH FILLER FOR GLASSING OVER.

2005-04-14 Thread Harley Michaelis
A while back I was looking for the 2-part K  B Primer/Filler and learned it 
was not available. I balked at the price of a Klass Kote product said to be 
similar.

Subscriber John Hayes suggested mixing talc in MINWAX Water-Based 
Polycrylic. Tuesday I first did that on a new glassed-over Genie LT/S 
fuselage, mixing talc in about 5/8 oz. of the stuff to a consistency of 
whipping cream to brush on.

It dried well in a few hours and was extremely easy to wet sand down to a 
glass like finish with progressively finer grits. The fuse, painted with 
Krylon, looks very good.

While searching for a suitable product, I had earlier tried the spray can 
Dupli-Color Scratch Filler  Primer. It took about 6 applications to do the 
filling and was much harder to sand. The Krylon used for the finish readily 
chipped. I removed the Krylon with acetone which also took off the Primer. I 
started over with Rustoleum Painter's choice Primer and top coat which came 
out fine, but the Dupli-Color experience was not a good one.
The Polycrylic with talc will be my way to go from now on. The procedure 
will be incorporated in the Genie web pages in a few days.

Thanks for passing this on to me, John.

RE: [RCSE] PRIMER AND SCRATCH FILLER FOR GLASSING OVER.

2005-04-14 Thread George Voss
I'm surprised you didn't find the Dupli-Color primer to your liking.  Other
than epoxy primers, I've found it to be the best.  I've used it on composite
surfaces though, not over filled wood.  As far as Krylon goes, I personally
rate that stuff as junk.  It gets dull quickly and doesn't seem to get as
hard as Rustoleum, all cans considered.  KB/Klass Kote is by far the best
alternative since the price is reasonable compared to automotive products.

I recently wanted to paint a composite fuselage to match the composite wing
I had.  The wing has PPG products on it.  2 ounces of color, 2 ounces of
catalyst, and a qt of thinner was about $60.  Even at $15 a can, Klass Kote
is cheaper.  Rattle cans just can't compete with the durability you get from
epoxy or automotive paints.  Just my two cents worth.

George

[RCSE] Klass Kote VS the others

2005-04-14 Thread Ed Berris
Harley, I have a feeling you have not priced other industrial paints
recently and that might be why the sticker shock.  I built a street rod
several years ago and used one of PPG's automotive urethane paints.  Last
year I went to an automotive paint store to buy some paint to cover a pedal
car I am building for my grandson.  The materials I used were no longer
available due to pollution or hazardous materials laws but what was
available was so expensive I almost fainted when the clerk told me I had
over $300 worth of materials.

I've found Klass Kote to be the same as the old KB product.  In fact, I
think it is possible that the same company that produces this material for
Klass Kote also produced it for KB.

As for price..I think it is well worth the cost.  Krylon just doesn't
even come close to this stuff for durability and depth of sheen. Yes, I do
use a gun and yes it does take more effort than shaking a can but I really
like this stuff.

Their primer is hands down the very best primer I have ever used.  Here's a
trick I learned a long time ago when I could still get KB white primer.  I
would mix microballons and epoxy primer to a very thick cream consistency.
I would apply it with a brush.  This would fill all the pin holes, scratches
and other imperfections in a glass fuselage.  After it cured I sanded most
of it off leaving a nearly ready to paint surface.

No doubt many guys would just spray on their color coat at that point but I
like to shoot one more thin coat of primer before the color coat.

I have used the waterbased finish mixed with talc to fill the weave in
fiberglass and found it to work quite well but my favorite is still the
Klass Kote products.

If I'm painting up a sloper that I know is going to look rough after a few
flights I'll use Rustoleum or Krylon but if I want the finish to last I'll
make the effort to use Klass Kote.

For what it's worth,
Ed

2005-04-14 Thread Jim Laurel
Jon, I've been in the software development business a long time.  We 
gave up the idea of these dongles a long time ago, except for 
extremely high end specialty applications, such as animation packages, 
certain video editing packages, etc.  But to require a dongle for a 
cheap $100 piece of software is a real slap in the face to the 
customer.  Everybody suffers so JR can wring every possible cent out of 
the market.

Just imagine if you had to have a dongle for the MS Office suite, and 
another for Adobe Photoshop, and another for Final Cut Pro, and another 
for...well you get the picture.  Before long, you've got a briefcase 
full of dongles - and no I/O ports left to connect them to, mention the 
potential conflicts with other hardware and software.  Alot of software 
used to require these things back in the 80s and they were universally 
reviled.  More trouble than they're worth.  Better to save the cost of 
the dongle, charge $100 for the software alone, and accept some level 
of piracy.

Setting aside how ridiculous it is in 2005 to have a PC interface that

The reason for these boxes is to prevent unpaid copying of the 
software.  The box is actually a hardware key, not easily copied by 
consumers.  The software will likely refuse to run without that key.  
All the RC simulators over $100 do the same thing.

[RCSE] ICARE Hades

2005-04-14 Thread John Wayne
I'm looking at buying an ICARE Hades. It looks like a great sloper. I was 
able to read a little bit about it on the ICARE site. A Google search 
doesn't turn up much.
Does anyone have any experience with this plane?
Thanks,
Ed

Re: [RCSE] Evo vs 9303

2005-04-14 Thread Marta Zavala



Not sure which is better, but the EVO is truly pretty easy, 
very logical to program. I am much more comfortable with it that I ever 
was with any JR/Asian radio programming.

  I'm seriously considering either 
  an Evo or a 9303 - opinions?
  
  I like the idea of the variable 
  'digi' mixers on the evo, and also like the idea of any function to any 
  channel. The synth/scanner function would be awesome, as would the 
  battery management features.
  On the down side, I have a feeling 
  that the programming it is a royal pain - pun intended. Mixers being 
  global sounds like a bummer, too.
  
  The 9303 seems to have terrific 
  programming, but lacks all these other things.
  Given that the 9's cost about the 
  same - which is ultimately BETTER

Re: [RCSE] Evo vs 9303

2005-04-14 Thread Paul Jacobson
I've also been looking at getting an evo. I'm not sure that the 
Global mixer's are as big an issue as the JR FUD department (Fear 
Uncertainty Doubt - a technique perfected to an artform by microsoft) 
seem keen to portray. As I understand it the global mixers are 
frameworks for establishing how inputs and outputs are mixed with 
each other  - so things like v-tail, crow, camber control would be 
set up as a global mixers. The actual percentages and values assigned 
to each component of the mix are specific to each model.

The Royal Evo tutorial explains the global mixers in detail and is 
definitely worth reading if your thinking about the EVO.

I have never had a JR transmitter that required programming because I gave 
up on them long before computer radios.  I have owned Infinity, Futaba, and 
Hitec and never really understood the logic behind their programming.  I 
currently fly Evo and find it much easier to program than the asian radios 
because I understand the logic behind Evo programming.  I was never able to 
program any of the asian radios without a manual in front of me.  With the 
Evo, I only need the manual to refresh my memory when trying something 
new.  Another advantage of the Evo is the superior feel and balance.  Only 
the Infinity approached the Evo feel and balance.

After your suggestion of icing putty, I'm convinced you're on the right
track for finishing products!  That stuff is great!  Are you painting or

[RCSE] Barry Karen Kennedy @ Kennedy Composites

2005-04-14 Thread mrmaserati
Well people, Karen  Barry are at it again. Up to their old tricks.

I ordered a replacement AVA pod and pushrods sunday after I got a case of dumb 
thumbs and confirmed my interest in a Sergio Poly and true to form the Kennedy 
Composites team had the AVA parts in my hands yesterday and my Sergio Poly, a 
speed 400 sailplane in Jack Iafrets hands as part of a order of 3 Sergio's 
yesterday as well. 

The Sergio looks like a really neat speed 400 semi arf bird that I can't wait 
to get together.

The Shadow team strikes again.

Thanks Barry and karen.

Dave Corven.
