RE: [RCSE] Re: "Results are in -BUT what are they????" - wish list
Some AR 7000 will already work with the loggers. Just look to see if they say Batt/Data and if they do.

I would like to add that a 2 satellite version of the AR700 would also be nice along with the logger version. The smaller size of 7000 fits nicely in more models than the 9000 series. I have it in my Supra with a 2.4 friendly fuse and have not had any problems. The 7000 fits nicely behind the servos, in a hole that permits the Pic to sit on top just ahead of the ballast tube.

[RCSE] JR 2.4 Flight Logger results request
Any of you guys that are flying with the so called 2.4 friendly fuse and own a Flight Logger. Could you please share your flight results so some of up hardhead trying to make carbon fuse work guys can see if we are heading in the right direction or just fools wasting our time. I can't believe Dale Nutter took the easy way out and went Futaba.

[RCSE] 3.45 Graphite, 2.4ghz AR900 receiver & lots of Anxiety.
I am new at this as many of you and purchased the 2.4 module along with the AR9000 receiver to be used in the JR 9303 TX. I also purchased an additional remote antenna and a Flight log. I know that my application is not the norm and there have been a lot of problems associated with trying to get the 2.4 system to properly operate in a carbon-kevlar fuse. I am flying an open class graphite 3.45 sailplane using the AR 9000 with 2 sattlelite antennas connected to the receiver. The fuse is carbon-kevlar. I have one antenna positioned just behind the nosecone just aft of the leading edge of the wing mounted on the floor of the fuse with the antenna wiskers sticking out each side of the fuse. The other has one of the two wiskers sticking straight above the top of the wing up located in the center of the wing just behind the spar. If all this makes since, my question is: In an sailplane application where the plane can fly as far as a mile away, has anyone checked and come close to what Specktrum is saying below? I am not getting any holds but have been getting a lot more fades like 400 to 600 for each remote antenna during a 10 to 15 minute flight and my frame loss is more like 300 to 400. Both antennas A & B which are internally mounted in the AR 9000 receiver are null because of the carbon kevlar fuse. So when flying, I relay completely on the external sattlelite antennas. The plane seems to fly fine but I have concerns. I can do the 30 pace range check and still not be totally glitch free even with all the radio gear taped to a board. However I do not get more than 1 or 2 frame losses during the range check when installed in the plane but get 25 to 45 fades on each external of the antennas. I am tilting the plane in every direction and I am sure that my hands may be getting in the way and that could be part of the cause. Am I playing with disaster or considering the application am I exceeding the safe threshold? I have had 5 successful flights or about 30 minutes of air time during which I have been tweaking my setup. With no holds. Using the “Spektrum Flight Log”, the web site Specktrum says: Antenna fades – represent the loss of a bit of information on that specific antenna. Typically it’s normal to have as many as 50 – 100 antenna fades on any one of the antennas during a flight. If any single antenna experiences over 500 fades in a single flight, the antenna should be repositioned in the aircraft to optimize the RF link. Frame Loss – represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers. If the RF link is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be less than 20. Hold – a hold occurs when 45 contiguous (one right after the other) frame losses occur. This takes about one second. If a hold occurs during flight, it’s important to re-evaluate the system, moving the antennas to different locations and/or checking to be sure the transmitter and receivers are working correctly. Can anyone chime in with sound advice or direct me to any links that may help ease my anxiety?

RE: [RCSE] Airfoil flight comparison( HN-216)?
They fly good not great. I would compare it to a heavy RNR late 90's moldie with a fast airfoil like the RG15. It is not a floater like a 7037 but all in all would make a great intro to open class due to the cost. Zoom will sell to anyone... two planes for about $1300.00 shipped here to the US. They are desperate to sell them. The construction is pretty good. Occasionally/often frustrated;...never defeated...
