Re: [RCSE] data storage for JR9303
Exactly. But my point is that the connector is silly to begin with. JR should have taken the opportunity with the 9303 to step up, do the right thing (as Multiplex has for years) and put a proper standard computer interface rather than sticking with with that trainer jack interface, which is a legacy from almost two decades ago. I could understand if doing so provided backward compatibility with the older radios, but it doesn't because with the 9303, the channel assignments are different from previous radios. So what's the point? No matter how you look at it, there can be no rational justification for that dumb interface.

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. --Jim Laurel On Apr 14, 2005, at 1:49 PM, Jon Stone wrote: 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 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.

Re: [RCSE] data storage for JR9303
I have to comment. My MPX 3030 is getting a tad bit old now (~4yrs) and may now be out of production. Yet, it was reasonably priced when I got it at $380. It shares files with my PC. It's easy to program (you ought to see all the dust on my manual!). It can do all the mixing 90% of modelers need. Receiver channels can be chosen at will. Plus, I love the 99 model memory capacity. Dang, I'd forgotten how much I love the thing. Are they still available? I don't see much reason for anything else. The latest offerings don't seem any better to me. Which is impressive considering how long the radio has been around. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Maybe some people can put up with a straight lie or two, but I can't. In my business, when I tell a customer to expect something and it doesn't come to fruition, I know I better get on the the horn to let them know. No excuses. And never, never would I tell them something that I don't know if I can deliver or not. I've learn that mistakes will happen, but it's how we handle it that tells people if we care. If my posting hurt's Barry's business, I apologize. BUT IT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Well not quite. I had ordered Mar 22, not just 2 weeks ago. Was told I should receive last week. That is all I expect. My 2 calls that got through to him have been very very polite and full of understanding. My 10 other calls went unanswered. When I get no response, I feel like maybe because I am not in the circle of friends, I am insignificant to deal with. If that is so, do not do business with me. He doesn't have to deal with me. But by accepting my money, he has agreed to, whether he knows it or not, to at least acknowledge me as a customer. Am I wrong to ask this? May be so, but I have paid my funds and do come to expect at least some common courtesy. Or am I in the wrong business? Maybe I should start in the hobby. Take the orders, collect the funds, and ship at my convenience. Oh, and maybe take care of close friends first. I do regret having to post this as I got some idiotic responses, but alas, it has gotten results. I got a call from Barry tonight to tell me all have been packed and will ship out tomorrow. If it is so, I will write and post for all that he came through, even if a little late.

I can sympathize with some of the stories here. I placed an order with Kennedy Composites on March 1st. At that time, Barry told me that all the items I ordered were in stock. He gave me a total and an hour later, I sent him $245 via PayPal. To date, I have not yet received my order. Starting in the first week in April, I started sending Barry emails to check on my order. Now, I understand that alot of the vendors in this hobby are in the business part time. I understand that Barry had the Toledo show in the first week in April. I don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with delayed orders in general. But seriously, is it too much to ask to take 60 seconds to reply to a customer's email? I expect that when I have given someone my hard-earned money, that they at least do me the courtesy of returning my phone calls and emails. Even a one line email saying Hi, sorry your order has been delayed due to whatever would be satisfactory. But to completely ignore all my communications is UNACCEPTABLE. I wonder how Charlie Britt rates not one, but several phone calls from Barry. Gee, guess I'm not on the right list or something...

Re: [RCSE] Barry Kennedy Vrs Others..a personal experience
The issue with Barry is that he has been making lots of promises, with specific delivery dates, on his two hottest products and missing those dates repeatedly to the same customers.Perhaps those of you who know Barry better/longer haven't had the experiences that others are having if you haven't tried to order an Ava or Blaster in the last few months. I pretty sure he is overwelmed with orders for both products and simply can't get enough product to fill the orders in a timely manner. The problem is he's been telling people that I've got your plane right here and it will go out tomorrow or something similar instead of , I've got 100 blaster orders in front of yours and you probably won't get your plane for 3 months. It's the customer's expectations that he sets that are now hurting his reputation with his new customers. Barry is a very nice guy for sure, but he needs to bite the bullet and either be more accurate in quoting lead times his customers, or let someone else carry the line for Vladamir's products as well... right now, he's in over his head. Lastly, coin collecting is a hobby. For most of us who take time to read RCSE, soaring is much more than a hobby, although somewhat short of life and death. Our passions run high as do our expenditures. There are dozens of one man operations in this business who exercise a level of customer service that would be exemplary by any Fortune 500 standard. Kennedy Composites isn't one of them, at least recently. Clay Hollingsworth --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jon Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wish everyone would back off on Tuan Le's complaints.

From my experience he likes to pass on the rosiest of scenarios to his customers (me included). I too, believe Barry is an honest business person, but I wish he would manage customer expections better. All it takes is a phone call or email saying Hi there.

And then rather than making a lawn dart, it started rotating -- fast, about 2-3 rotations per second. And the fuse+motor+radio gear+vertical stabilizer very gently came down to the ground, spinning like mad, with the wing halfs and horizontal stabilizer still gently flopping down in the wind.

This does not apply to model aircraft flown indoors. From the AMA 2005 Competition regulations: 9.3.

Re: [RCSE] AMA numbers
Not any more. AMA Competition Regulations, GENERAL section, Paragraph 4, Model Identification, says All models, except indoor, will be identified with the owner's name and address or AMA number on the model. So you can use your name and address instead of the AMA number and the number no longer needs to be at least 1 inch high.

He told me that hopefully he can have a list of open orders that he will send to me to post on my club's website. That way he can worry more about getting the products out. From that list everyone should be able to see his/her name and where they stand and eta on shipping. For security purposes, the list will be just first name and zip code.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Barry Kennedy Vrs Others..a personal experience
First of all, I don't understand why this message is getting pushed to the exchange now, when I deleted it several days ago. Since then, a lot has happened. When I wrote this message last week, I was quite frustrated about not being able to get in touch with Barry after numerous attempts on my part. It was my first order from Barry, so I didn't know him too well, and didn't know what to expect. However, now that we've had time to talk things over, I can understand how it all happened. Barry's business is growing fast and, while that may cause problems for some customers as he grows, it is ultimately a good thing for the hobby! I have since placed a much larger order with Barry and have been extremely pleased with his service. True, I was upset last week when I wrote the post below, but when a guy steps up, fixes the problem and takes steps to improve his service, he deserves our business. Barry is a stand up guy and you can do business with him with confidence. So, please ignore the post below. --Jim Laurel -Original Message- From: bwanajim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 9:24 PM To: soaring@airage.com Subject: [RCSE] Re: Barry Kennedy Vrs Others..a personal experience I can sympathize with some of the stories here.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Barry Kennedy
Once again, I don't know how this is getting pushed to the soaring exchange several days after it was deleted from RCGroups. I have squared things up with Barry, and am continuing to do business with him. He went through a period of unresponsiveness due to the demands of the Toledo show and a crush or orders for some of the cool new stuff he's selling, such as the Shadow receiver. I've just ordered 2 Shadows from him as well as a gaggle of Voltz servos. Incidentally, Barry has a good stock of Voltzs and a good price on them as well. In response to the increased business, Barry is expanding his operation to handle the demand. I wish him the best of luck. Strong vendors like Kennedy Composites are a real asset to the soaring community. I feel bad that this stuff is still hitting the exchange.

Maybe some people can put up with a straight lie or two, but I can't. In my business, when I tell a customer to expect something and it doesn't come to fruition, I know I better get on the the horn to let them know. No excuses. And never, never would I tell them something that I don't know if I can deliver or not. I've learn that mistakes will happen, but it's how we handle it that tells people if we care. If my posting hurt's Barry's business, I apologize. BUT IT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Well not quite. I had ordered Mar 22, not just 2 weeks ago. Was told I should receive last week. That is all I expect. My 2 calls that got through to him have been very very polite and full of understanding. My 10 other calls went unanswered. When I get no response, I feel like maybe because I am not in the circle of friends, I am insignificant to deal with. If that is so, do not do business with me. He doesn't have to deal with me. But by accepting my money, he has agreed to, whether he knows it or not, to at least acknowledge me as a customer. Am I wrong to ask this? May be so, but I have paid my funds and do come to expect at least some common courtesy. Or am I in the wrong business? Maybe I should start in the hobby. Take the orders, collect the funds, and ship at my convenience. Oh, and maybe take care of close friends first. I do regret having to post this as I got some idiotic responses, but alas, it has gotten results. I got a call from Barry tonight to tell me all have been packed and will ship out tomorrow. If it is so, I will write and post for all that he came through, even if a little late.

Re: [RCSE] Re: Barry Kennedy Vrs Others..a personal experience
Well, I ordered an Organic from Barry almost a month ago but I knew it wasn't in stock. He then received them from Vladimir but some fuses had a problem which he offered to ship me anyway so I could fix and fly until a new one could be shipped without charges. I could then keep both fuses. Barry later figured out the mini Graphite fuse is basically the same as the Organic with the exception of the rear wing bolt. For my trouble to drill a new hole in the fuse, which is a 2 minute job he sent me also lots of free goodies, which certainly put him in a loss for this sale. So I must say the shipment wasn't as fast as I wanted but Barry went well beyond his duties to get my little toy plane the way I wanted. By the way he also got the color I wanted what I would say is surprising for a plane that was in the unobtanium list no long ago.

Re: [RCSE] Barry Kennedy Vrs Others..a personal experience
I've dealt with Kennedy Composites before, and it was a bit frustrating due to lack of communication. For a while, having never dealt with Barry, I thought I had been burned. None the less Barry finally did come thru on everything. I think he works at a real job then tries to run the model business as well alone, so that must be tough. Ive sold a few planes and at times find it hard just to fulfill those few sales due to other commitments. After all is said and done I can sympathize with Barrys plight, but yes being upfront about everything would probably be the best policy, even if it comes down to saying I just havent had the time to get to your order. I am sure Barry is simply just buried right now. He is a pretty nice guy. BTW, Barry, if you read this, have you heard anything from Vlad about the bullet proof Blaster you spoke to me about? I just started working out again and feel in a few more months Ill be ready to test the spar for you guys!

I pretty sure he is overwelmed with orders for both products and simply can't get enough product to fill the orders in a timely manner. The problem is he's been telling people that I've got your plane right here and it will go out tomorrow or something similar instead of , I've got 100 blaster orders in front of yours and you probably won't get your plane for 3 months. It's the customer's expectations that he sets that are now hurting his reputation with his new customers. Barry is a very nice guy for sure, but he needs to bite the bullet and either be more accurate in quoting lead times his customers, or let someone else carry the line for Vladamir's products as well... right now, he's in over his head. Lastly, coin collecting is a hobby. For most of us who take time to read RCSE, soaring is much more than a hobby, although somewhat short of life and death. Our passions run high as do our expenditures. There are dozens of one man operations in this business who exercise a level of customer service that would be exemplary by any Fortune 500 standard.

Re: [RCSE] Servos for AVA
Fred, I have JR 3321's in my AVA's fuse and a JR 341 in the spoiler bay. Look up Jim Bacus's web site for the spoiler ball joint linkage. It works very well. I stayed with analog servos and with an 1100 nicad pack you can fly all day. JR 368's or Volz servos are also good choices. I installed the large ballast tube and can double the dry weight of 40 oz's with 4 slugs of lead and maintain the balance point with any combination of lead slugs. Regards, Dave Corven. I have just received my new AVA from Kennedy Composites two days before promised. Now need to get some servos for it. What's the hot setup these days?

If it ain't type accepted then it ain't legal at sanctioned contests.

Re: [RCSE] Re: 51 MHz base loaded antenna for 9303
Guys, If it ain't type accepted then it ain't legal at sanctioned contests. This is 50 mHz, so as long as the user has a valid amateur radio license they can use any kind of antenna they want - as long as it produces a clean signal. There is NO type acceptance needed. regards, Jim Porter N0BZQ I have tried the Smiley on a Futaba 8U on 50MHz. I got significant glitching even at short range.

Oops, I goofed, I was reall thinking about the 72 stuff and I certainly did not mean to slight the ham operators. Although some interesting comments were brougt to the exchange and we all can benefit from that. I did get a couple of private posts that took me to task for even daring to comment on a subject like this. As though it might not be appropriate to comment on a subject like this., Hmmm.

As others have suggested, this does not apply to ham band equipment. Ham band equipment does not require type-acceptance, though if mass produced (as most R/C equipment is) it usually is type-accepted, because if not type-accepted, only one non type-accepted transmitter can be made per ham operator per year. I'd have to dig up the regulations to know exactly how the limitation works, though certainly nobody keeps track of this sort of thing -- the main purpose is to stop people from churning out things like illegal CB amplifiers. And there's nothing special about a sanctioned contest here, except that they pay closer attention to the rules/laws. If it's illegal there, it's illegal elsewhere as well. [Yes, this is all specific to the US.] FCC regulations do allow qualified persons to modify type certified equipment, and I'm not sure if changing the transmitting antenna qualifies (as long as the new antenna has no signifigant gain) or not. (But changing the crystal definately qualifies.) And I'm not sure what qualifications would be required to make this sort of simple modification. http://www.vantec.com/FCCregs1.htm gives a good summary of the FCC regulations related to R/C usage, though they don't apply to stuff in the 50 mHz band. | Mind you, I don't care and I'm not going to complain, but there is | someone out there that might, so if I were you, I'd keep the standard | long, ugly antenna in my flight box at all times.

Well, the standard antenna is acceptable for use on 50 mHz, even though the length is usually more appropriate for 72 mHz use, so I've always assumed that the 50 mHz module (and the ones for other bands, like 35, 40, 27 mHz, etc.) had the appropriate matching circuitry. (Certainly, you don't change antennas when you change your module.) And if so, then it would match the smiley antenna just as well as the smiley antenna is matched with a 72 mHz module. But rubber ducky antennas like the smiley _are_ known to create a 10 dB or so reduction in signal strength over a standard 1/4 wave antenna (though the exact figure depends on a great many factors), so that would cause a signifigant reduction in range, but I wouldn't expect it to start causing glitching unless you exceeded that range. Perhaps things were marginal before, and the smilie was the `straw that broke the camel's back'? Obviously you're a ham if you're legally using the transmitter, but maybe you don't have the proper equipment to listen to the signal. You might want to find another ham with a 50 mHz FM receiver to listen to the signal for you, with both antennas and start from there. Many scanners would work OK for this, though they often don't give a good idea of the relative strength of a signal. (A spectrum analyzer would be good too, but they're expensive and not too many people have them.) -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED], AD5RH MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL! SEND $9.95 FOR MORE DETAILS!
