[RCSE] Re:JR Scan Select receiver feedback
Got one a week or so ago and the range check was about 1/2 that of a Hitec Super Slim in identical setups. Now I am in a quandry as I don't know whether the Hitec is that good or do I have a defective JR. It's been a few months but as I recall I got similar results comparing a Shadow 3 to the Hitec. I relegated the Shadow to an electric that doesn't get very far away. Really frustrating as I would like a good small synth rx to go with the Evo.

Re: [RCSE] JR Scan select receiver feedback
I installed mine in my 115 inch Playboy old timer (built by Ed Whyte of Whytewings fame) and climbed to 2000 feet (as reported by the German lady). No problem with range or electric motor. Looks like a solid performer. Don RichmondSan Diego, CA (Virginia Beach, VA today)[EMAIL PROTECTED]www.hilaunch.com

Tom Finch Thomas Finch [EMAIL PROTECTED] EarthLink Revolves Around You. I have been testing a Hitec Fusion 9 receiver in an old sailplane to see if it can replace my trusty Super Slim. So far, everything looks good (except for the price). Ground range check with the antenna collapsed completely inside the case is almost identical to the Super Slim. I have the crystal controlled Evo so being synthesized isn't of any value right now. When I get around to replacing the Super Slims, I may have a reason for getting a synthesized module for my Evos.

Re: [RCSE] Re:JR Scan Select receiver feedback
Can anyone tell me the relationship between antenna down ground range and antenna up airborne performance?? What exactly is the mathematical relationship?? If this is real, then it should be able to be written in a formula. No other radio device that I know of tests its performance by taking the antenna off to see what it does. But somehow we in the RC world have convinced ourselves that this is meaningful.

Re: [RCSE] Re:JR Scan Select receiver feedback
I have been looking at them in the magazines and on line for about three months now and they seem to look just fine. I haven't tried to look at them with my antenna down, or while holding a plane but I can tell you that with my new distance optimized sunglasses I can see the ad's really far away and that's with out an antenna. Hope this helps! Gordy Next stop Providence RI today!
[RCSE] Hitec Fusion 9 Channel IPD RX's...tested and flown.
Hi guys, I have gone to extending my RX antenna's so that about 16" hangs out the rudder line of all my ships, regardless of RX brand or plane. With the Fusion, I got over 150 yards of ground range using a Stylus with the antenna collapsed. Likely I could have gotten more but got bored. That was using a Picolario for glitch reports and having someone watch for jitters. And while on the topic of Jitters... the Fusion allows you to turn off the IPD if you want to make it a simple FM RX. With the IPD 'on' the digital servos get SERIOUSLY quiet... Range didn't change with it on or off. I tested it this way in my Pike Giant, Sharon and the World's Heaviest Carbon Supra In the World. All with the same results. I really like the Fusion, it fits in the plane nicely and is very easy to program, AND you can use a Polk Remote program button ...if you don't want to have to poke in to the case for the Set Button. About a month or two of flying on it so farin Gordy years that's equal to most you guys flying it for a year :) Gordy

On antenna extension . I always have at least one section of the antenna extended whenever the transmitter is on except when range checking. Learned about this the hard way about 40 years ago with my first Microavionics transmitter. I have trouble walking far enough to range check with one section of the antenna extended.

[RCSE] JR Scan Select receiver feedback
I purchased an R720 at a local hobby store and installed in a multifunction glider with 4 JR digital servos and 2 Hitec analog servos. The digital servos made quite a bit of noise (noticeable to others waiting for the winch) similar to jitter but without actually moving the servo arms. The analog servos were quiet and steady. The plane flew fine, even at distance, but it always made quite a bit of noise. Also, several of the more experienced members commented that it was louder than they would expect. When I got the plane home, I switched out the ScanSelect with a normal R700. All the digital (and analog) servos were immediately quiet. I swapped it back and forth a few times to make sure it wasnt my wiring, and continued to get consistent results showing that the R720 was the problem. I took it back to the local hobby store (Larrys Hobbies) and they immediately replaced it only asking me to call back and let them know if the new one worked better. I called them back saying that the new one was just as quiet as my R700. They sent the old one back to JR who indicated that they have not heard of such a problem and mine could have just been an anomaly. Certainly, the new one works just fine. It looks like a good product (it sure is easy to use!), backed by a quality company, and is supported by a reputable dealer network. Whats not to like? -Keith

[RCSE] July 8th Seattle HLG Contest Canceled!
Well, I hate to do this, but the HLG contest scheduled for July 8th at 60-Acres has been canceled!The county has decided to split our reservation with soccer parking and due to safety concerns and other coordination issues, the club has decided both activities (parking and flying) cannot be conducted at the same time.Additionally, the August 12-13th 2-day hand launch contest at 60-Acres has also been canceled, for the same reason.For over a decade, the SASS HLG contests have been one of the driving forces in HLG development, its tragic to see this tradition squash by short sighted county functionals.Some of the SASS members are planning some form of protest... the details are not yet finalized.Check the SASS_club Yahoo Group or SASS website for further details.Hopefully we'll still be able to have our September(23-24) HLG 2-day... it will be held in Tri-Cities at the Pasco Sod Farm.Details to follow.Therm als,RED -- Adam Weston Seattle, WA
