Re: [RCSE] Airtronics Stylus
I called Airtronics today to ask some general questions regarding the Stylus transmitter. One of the questions I asked is are they working on a synthesized tx module. The answer I received today was NO! I also asked if they were working on anything new to replace the Stylus as is it a few years old now and did not get a definite answer. I am still baffeled at the need to buy glider card and model memory card at a significant extra cost to the price of the transmitter. The JR 9303 (I realize this is much newer radio on the market) has both features built into the transmitter that you pay extra for with a Stylus. Why I ask?

Quoting W5SWA W5SWA [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is the Stylus going to be the last kid on the block with a synthesized tx module? Anyone hear any reliable rumors? Are Airtronics enthusiasts out in the cold when it comes to the 21st century? I'm getting tired of going to contests and hearing thats my frequency. Plus I don't want to spend all of my money on tx modules (that only cover one freq.) and rx crystals. I already have a couple of them and don't need anymore.

[RCSE] JR9303 or Aritronics Stylus????
Hello, I know there was a post today regarding Airtronics and a sythesized module for the Stylus. My question is which if the two radios is better suited for R/C sailplanes? I currently have a 9303 and was considering buying my friends Stylus to have one of each and compare. Which one would you rather own? Wurts flys the 9303 and Perkins flys the Stylus. Maybe it doesn't matter? Shawn RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Long music wire????
Guys, Thanks for all the replies regarding my search for 48 music wire. I have a lot of responses both on RCSE and private. Thanks again! Shawn--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mark Drela [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can get dead-straight hard stainless steel wire from www.smallparts.com in 60 lengths. Not quite as hard as piano wire, but pretty close. The drawback is that the 0.06 size is about $12 a piece, plus an extra oversize shipping charge. They also have loose coils of hard stainless wire, but only up to 0.043 diameter. This stuff is vastly cheaper at $4 for 30 feet. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Long music wire????
Anyone have a good source for 48 or longer 1/16 straight music wire for pushrods? I have a couple of projects that 36 wire is not going to get it.

[RCSE] Vision Battery Pack?
Hi, Does anyone know any hobby shops that still have some tranmitter packs for the Vision 8SP radio? Airtronics no longer stocks the TX packs. Does anyone have a good TX battery case avaiable? One where both sliding tabs work properly. I am not concerned with the condition of the batteries. Thanks, Shawn Lenci Escalon, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Dodgson Designs !!!
To all Dodgson Designs flyers, Thanks to all of you that responded both on the exchange and to me privately. There was much more correspondence than I thought there would be. There seams to be a big interest in the Pivot. That is good. It was the one kit I thought I would try to build first as it is small and would have the minimum amount of startup investment. I was thinking of trying to put together about 20 kits and see if they would sell. I have a few things to iron out so if anything happens it would be later in 2002. If anyone has an unbuilt kit and would like to sell it it would be much appreciated. I still need of of these kits to use as a prototype. If you would weigh the fuse and canopy on a gram scale and email the weights of the fuse that would help. At least I would have a target weight to lay the new fuses at. If anyone has any Dodgson kits they want to sell I very well may be interested. I have many but am still missing some to complete the collection of prototypes that will be used for production. Email or call with what you have available. I could do something like buy it from you and offer somekind of deal on a new kit when they are produced. Any help, old catalogs, plans, instructions (for any of Bob's kits) that you don't mind parting with will be great. I would even like photo copies or I can copy and mail original back to you. What ever you can do. Email photos of your old Dodgson planes. I'll keep and archive and may possibly use some in future newsletters, etc. Looking forward to hearing from all of you, Have a great New Year, Shawn Lenci 1311 San Joaquin St. Escalon, CA 95320 209-838-3869 eve 209-468-2683 day [EMAIL PROTECTED] email RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
