[RCSE] JR vs Futaba...was Speaking of Fuutaba
JR can top that easily. The new JR 12x features DCA (Dynamic Configuration Adjustment). It automatically switches settings to the correct model when the pilot thinks about the model he wants to fly. I hear a unit is on its way to Gordy for testing. ;) JR added extra memory and processing power so that it can keep up with him! Just had to. ;) Joe From: TDL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 7:14 PM To: 'Craig Allen'; 'Albert E. Wedworth'; soaring@airage.com Subject: [RCSE] Speaking of Fuutaba... One of the many really kool feature of the Futaba radio I am using is that I can take an actual photo of my plane and load it into the Futaba's TX's screen to give me a visual of the actual model.

Helps a lot too when you have a few of the same birds so you don't have to remember Pike Perfect 1, Pike Perfect 2 etc... just glance at the Futaba screen and you will know which model is loaded. Now if only Futaba can make fast enough the 2.4g retrofit for the standard MZ's it would be great.

Re: [RCSE] 2.4 install how to?
Wow that's a silly post and I fly with a stylus as well. Besides the cool feature of anyone on channel 51 being able to take you out nice and quick what features are you thinking you get that someone on a JR or Futaba 2.4 does not? I flew a friends 9303 last year. He had everything I needed. Laucnh, reflex, camber, delay, full mixingall this and his radio did not weight 14 pounds like my stylus...Not an issue unless yo also fly DLG's like I do as well. I like the right and left sliders for camber and reflex on my stylus thats unique... no wait i think i see a tab on the back of the Futaba faast system...what am I missing?

[RCSE] Solartex or Coverite
Hello Guys: Started covering another Minimoa. This one is the "Dove of Peace" Natural ply fuse and "slightly off white" covered wings. The rolls I have do not have the original brand labels on them.. 27" wide 15 ft long. Two rolls are gloss white and the roll I started using and wish to finish the ship in, is a "flat" slightly off white. Both of my gloss and flat rolls are identical in every respect, except the finish. I've looked at all of the coverites and they do not seem to have a flat white - Solartex seems to have three possibilities: antique, natural,and linen, but no flat white Does anyone know which covering I have/need? Or has Coverite stop making the flat white? Desperate Jim

Re: [RCSE] F3J Fundraiser Contest this weekend??
Yes, it is this weekend at Poway. I'll be armed with my freshly acquired Sharon, and probably setting it up early in the morning before the contest. This will be my first Unlimited TD plane flying on 2.4. No pin baby, yeah. BTW, the SC2 contest is on Sunday at the Poway thermal field.
