[RCSE] Spektrum in a standard Supra....summary
Good work finding this one Ira! Simple solution to a carbon fuse 2.4 challenge. The anonymous inventor, simple made his own remote extension leads to get a remote into each wing tip. He used a set of three pin Deans plugs to make the connection from main panel to the tip panels. AND he used his Flight Logger to check his results. After doing plenty of ground range testing, the numbers showed amazing results and from his reports, ended up with similar numbers to a system in a wooden model. I'm checking but since the main Rx is right in the nose, likely its not serving as anything more than a servo/battery buss. Great stuff. Simple with no hacking to components or airframe. I got some of the magic shielded wire and begin my tests on whether grounding the shielding to extensions is a value or not. I'll start with removing the original whiskers, (one dab of solder each, easy to get at) then soldering in the shielded cable, running a ground jumper to the ground of the servo plug negative pin, and exposing the exact length of inner wire to create the now remote new whiskers. I'll also try, simple shrink wrapping the inner wire to the existing whiskers, that way making it a simple any guy extension, but soldering a servo plug negative wire to the shielding, and pluggin it into an open servo port for the grounding. And I'll do the shrink along side the existing whisker, and not attaching the shielding to anything, still leaving the exact whisker length exposed outside the fuse. Probably all over kill since Dick Barker just shrunk some servo wire to the existing whiskers, and then sent them thru the fuse sides, with only the exact length of wire to match the whisker's length. But a fun project in any case. Gordy **Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Re: [RCSE] The new Jr 12X
How can you complain about a high end unit being expensive? I know JR produces the whole line, 72, 2.4 cheap expensive... Thje only company that used to be able to claim the kind of support that JR does now is Airtronics. And that is a used to be. So thank you JR, for bringing competative hardware to the market, and for all of the support you bring to our soaring community. F3X teams, JR Aerotow, World Soaring Masters, and most other large sailplane events around the US. I appreciate it, and I do not where a red shirt.
