I have a low time, very clean JR9303 for sale with 72MHz (ch53) module and
2500mah battery. Protective plastic is still on the windows. Used only for
gliders so no slime ;) $300 shipped in the US.

Or, you could try and use one of the flight modes as 0 rudder mix.  
Don't know if you use all 5 or have switches set so that you could use 
all fo them.

Mike, you are quite right, old habits.

I was trying to use the Aileron to Rudder standard mix rather than using

I use on/off on my DLG so I can practice rudder with my left thumb.  I
prefer coupling, but I wanted to see a good roll with a new DLG just
built.  I set my rudder up exponentially, so that my rudder kicks in
fast before the aileron takes over.  I like more top-rudder ( believe
that is what that is).  I found recently I was cross-coupling the
aileron and rudder for flatter turns.  My old habits go back to just
rudder elevator on planes with more dihedral.

Thanks for the help.

Some old habits don't go away... Normally aileron to rudder coupling is
set up by flight mode.   Flight modes make it possible to have more than
two mixes.  In fact for aileron to rudder, you should set the mix to
100% in launch mode in case you forget to use the correct stick.

My suggestion if you want on/off mixing would be to use one of the
programmable mixers.  Configure aileron to rudder.  Have the mix switch
change you to position 1.  Set the aileron to rudder mix rates you want
for position 0 and then leave the mixes for position 1 at 0.   In
reality you probably don't want to go to 0, just a very low value.  So
you could set position 1 to some small numbers like 6 or 7.

[RCSE] 9303 w/2.4 module question

2008-05-06 Thread BCLERX
You can switch between the two Tx antenna systems in less than a minute, so 
I'm not sure mounting the 2.4 antenna on top of the 72 MHz collapsed Tx antenna 
will save you much time. The actual 2.4 antenna can be mounted nearly anyway 
you want, but you need to have the ability to keep it perpendicular to the 
aircraft for max range. Yeah, you could slip it over the stub of the 72MHz 
antenna and secure it with tape, but why? It only takes a few seconds to 
unscrew the 
regular 72MHz antenna and screw in the plastic 2.4 GHz antenna mount (it is 
only a mount and not part of the antenna system). Slipping it over the other 
antenna will probably not affect range, but a ground range check should reveal 
any problems. I can't make any guarantees since I have't tried it.

Ben Clerx

I have a 9303 with a 2.4 module.  The 2.4 antenna mount uses a plastic adap=
ter which screws in to replace the 72 mhz antenna. =20

Is there any reason I cannot simply mount the 2.4 antenna on top of the col=
lapsed 72 mhz antenna?  In other words, do I have to remove the 72 mhz ante=
nna?

[RCSE] 9303 Left Handed DLG Setup

2006-02-19 Thread Michael Conte

All,

Background:  I'm left handed and fly DLG's (among other airplanes) and 
recently got a 9303.  I got the Heli version because I like having a 
spring switch vs. the push button that's on the left side of the 
sailplane and acro TXs.  Anyway, since I throw left handed I like 
having my launch switch for DLGs on the right side of my TX.  I really 
wanted to move the spring switch to the right side of my TX but was 
apprehensive,


This weekend I threw caution to the wind and moved the switch.  Here's 
how I did it.  First I disconnected the battery and removed the back of 
the TX.  Next I unplugged the wiring harness that connects the back to 
the front.  Then I removed the switches from their mounting holes.  I 
used a multi-meter to figure out whether the spring switch defaulted to 
an open or closed circuit.  In order for it to work for me on the other 
side of the TX, I needed to move the black wire on the spring switch to 
the opposite end of the switch so it defaults to a closed circuit.  
After I did this, I unsoldered the wires that connect the switches to 
the circuit board on the back of the TX.  Finally, I switched the 
switches to the appropriate sides and soldered everything back.  So now 
I have a long two position toggle switch on the left side of my TX 
(timer start/stop) and a spring loaded long switch (DLG launch) on the 
right side of the TX.  I'm sure the warrantee is voided (although my 
solder joints are perfect :), but it works for me.  BTW, I love the 
flight mode feature of this TX.

Re: [RCSE] 9303 or 10X Programming assistance

2005-10-27 Thread Michael Lachowski
That will work OK.  You will probabably have to use a Y connector or 
matchbox to run both the spoiler servos and use a mixing curve to do the 
throttle stick to spoiler mixing.


I have not tried anything like that on a 9303. You only have 9 channels 
there and obviously you have 10 servos in the 8 wing servo model. But 
with the modified channel output pattern for the sailplane configs, you 
should not have much of a problem using all 9 channels.


If your flaps will always be used just as flaps (never ailerons) then 
treat the outter ailerons as the ailerons, the inner ailerons as the 
flaps for your normal channels.  Then use mixers to create the flap and 
spoiler mixes.


Now all you need are retracts and tow release...

Hi Larry, I can't get the v-tail function to work in the sailplane mode, nor 
the throttle. I have to use the acro mode to get throttle on the left stick and 
I haven't figured out how to get the flap servo to operate from either of the 
side levers.

Maybe i need more rx channels or a shadow rx that allows you to program the rx 
channels.

Too little information to comment.
 
What are you calling the gear switch, the tall two position switch on the 
upper left and back of radio or you calling g it the two position push button 
switch?  
 
What receiver channels are your flaps plugged into?
 
Is dual flap active or inactive?
 
What mix are you using to activate the flaps?  The various options 
would be:
1.y harness to the flaps and plug the other end 
into the motor (spoiler/flap stick)
2.Butterfly
3.Using a nondedicated mix 2 through 6
 
What is the "Effect" you are talking about.  Does it change the flap 
movement or simply turn them off or on?  
 
Are you using flight modes?

[RCSE] 9303 Copy Function

    To new JR 9303 transmitter owners:  

    If you've wondered if a COPY function is 
installed (the instruction book doesn't say anything about it), it is included 
in the Model Select function.  Click on SELECT and COPY will come up.  
Enter the "Copy From" and "Copy To" models as usual and then press 
CLR.
    The 9303 is a powerful sailplane 
transmitter but the instruction book leaves much to be desired.  I'm sure

After using it for around 3 months in the conventional way (way it was 
intended to be used), I modified my JR 9303. This was also prompted by the way 
Joe has set up his 9303. He programmed the Elev D/R switch on the far left to 
be launch mode on/off  (toward you or down is on), and he programmed the 
Land/Cruise/Launch switch to be Thermal/Cruise/Speed. I think he also had to 
change the wiring on one of the switches, or turn it around. This allows all of 
the various modes to be accessed with your left thumb so that you can keep your 
right hand on the stick where it belongs.

 

My solution was slightly different, and required a tiny bit of easy 
rewiring and relocation which is very easy on this radio. The total 
modification took around 45 minutes including figuring out what to do.

 

The result is that my far left switch is Launch/Cruise/Land switch 
moved over one position to the left and rotated 180 degrees so that Launch mode 
is toward you (down) and Landing Mode is full up or away. The three position 
switch from the right (Thermal/Cruise/Speed) is then relocated where the left 
three position switch was located (requires one longer wire). The Elev D/R 
switch that was on the far left is now where the Thermal/Cruise/Speed switch 
was located next to the Ail D/R switch.   

 

The radio front panel switches are now located as follows (from left to 
right):

 

Land  Speed   Flap TrimAux Trim 
 Elev D/R  Aile D/R

I will be modifying another for a friend and I will take some pictures 
of what to do. If anyone else is interested just email me direct and I can send 
you the info on how to do it.

Re: [RCSE] 9303 camber program question

2005-02-24 Thread Michael Lachowski
I don't use camber sliders.  I always use presets.

Have you tried reflex?  Do you have to make the aileron travel go to 150%
for reflex to work properly?  I always make sure that I have travels set so
that camber moves the entire TE evenly. Either through increasing travel or
increasing the mix rate.  This is because I always use elevator to camber
mix and want that to work right.  Actual presets for camber, reflex, launch
come later.  The travel amounts have to be set to deal with whatever horn
lengths and servo arms you have on your equipment.  Besides long aileron
horns (or short aileron servo arms, you might also have really short flap
linkage.  Do you have zero for the subtrim on the flaps, which means you 
are only using half the servo travel for down flap? You might be able to
offset the flap neutral to use more servo travel to get down flap and
adjust your flap horns.

If you don't use elevator to camber, or a slider, the 9303 can just use the
flight mode presets which can be set individually for ailerons and flaps.

Thanks Mike for the response.  We get the travel by going to 150% down on the travel adjust with the ailerons and then using differential to get the proper up and down.  We just thought that there may be an easier way with the 9303.  Are you using the left slider to get camber?  If so exactly what is your program?  We use the above and then go to flap rate followed by flaperon mix.  Tom

On the 10X, I like camber on the right slider (full slider travel sets 
appropriate camber - no guessing at midpoints) because I can instantly 
tell by feel whether camber is set.  Don't have to move my thumbs off 
the sticks, or worry about bumping the wrong switch.

Reflex is on the left slider (normally left engaged at full travel) and 
actuated by the snap roll button...reflex thus can't be left on by 
mistake.  I pirated this idea from Jim Bacus.

This is quite possible, I didn't have to do this to get camber to work on 
the left side lever on my 9303 setup.

I like to use the side lever for camber adjustment, but much of the time it 
goes to the same point so on my 9303 I will try to use the triple switch 
reflex / cruise / thermal with some presets this season.  I will still keep 
the slide bar functionality, because there are times when I need more or 
less travel there, like I might pull the entire trailing edge down to half 
of what I might use as a launch setup for the bungee or windy days.  I use 
it to attenuate my flight speed at times as well.

On my 10x the reflex goes to a preset with the snap roll button, and the 
left lever does camber.

Re: [RCSE] 9303 camber program question

2005-02-23 Thread Michael Lachowski
The travel amounts vary with the linkage setups.  If you find that the 
ailerons don't move enough for equal travel across the flaps and 
ailerons, you should increase the aileron travel (both up and down) and 
then use the dual rate settings to reduce the total aileron travel off 
the stick so it's not too sensitive.  Usually this happens when the 
aileron horns are long.

This applies also applies to the 8103, 388, 783, etc.
With the 9303, the presets in the flight modes are the best solution for 
camber, reflex settings.  But you still need to even out the travel if 
you use elevator to camber mixing on the wing.

The combination of fixed presets and elevator to camber mixing is about 
the best you can do.  Most airfoils have some pretty definite presets. 
The elevator to camber mixes help out especially if you input a lot of 
elevator Most of the airfoils get real draggy as you transition through 
very low Cl's into negative Cl's and only a lot of reflex helps.

[RCSE] 9303 camber program/General Camber Question

2005-02-23 Thread BCLERX



Hi Tom
 
I haven't used a slider for camber control in over 10 years (since the 
Airtronics Vision). For a given angle of attack there is only one flap setting 
that will result in minimum drag, be it positive camber for high AOA or negative 
camber (reflex) for lower AOA's.
 
Airfoils obviously are designed to need no camber changing devices when 
near their "normal" AOA (for soaring, this would be near Best or 
Max L/D AOA). Deviations from Max L/D AOA may benefit from small changes in 
camber to reduce drag. 
 
Some airfoils respond well to camber changing. Some thin, low cambered 
airfoils, don't like high AOA's and respond well to a little camber at high AOA 
(the Nyx comes to mind here). Higher cambered airfoils like the 7037 do fine 
without camber. Although they may benefit with a little camber near the stalling 
AOA, the benefit won't be as noticeable as with the low cambered airfoil. You 
really need to deviate quite a bit from Max L/D AOA to need positive or negative 
camber, i.e. flying very slow in a thermal or pushing hard and fast. If you're 
using more than a few degrees either way, you're probably using too much. Play 
with 1/16 to 3/16 inch of positive and negative camber on a toggle switch and 
save yourself the hassle of messing with the slider. I'll agree with George 
Voss--The odds of you selecting the correct camber setting with the slider while 
thermalling is slim to none.
 
Try putting Launch/Cruise on a 2 position switch and Thermal/ Speed on a 3 
position switch (all as presets) and do away with the slider. 
 
Sorry, I know I haven't answered your original question (my 9303 is too new 
for me to have figured out the answer to that. If you figure it out, let me know 
just for my general knowledge). Try Tom Copp at www.F3X.com. He might be able to give you an 
answer since he's proficient with the radio. He also has a couple JR manuals on 
his website that have instructions for setting up a sailplane.

RE: [RCSE] 9303 camber program question/General Camber Question

2005-02-23 Thread George Voss
I see and read of a number of people who ask about camber control on a
slider.  I used to use sliders for camber also but I've changed to the
3-position switch on the upper left of my TX.

My question is: Why use a slider when the plane responds best at 2 specific
locations for camber/reflex?

I used to fly a Lovesong in competition.  It responded to 3-degrees of
reflex (approx. 1/8") and about the same amount for camber control.  I tried
a number of different positions and like Michael Selig discovered, the
3-degrees was about right.

I fly an Icon now and it too responds to a small amount of reflex and
camber.  Why not put the camber on a switch instead of a slider?  If we only
use a small amount, say less than 1/8", there is little difference in the
way the plane handles yet we have to spend energy/attention making sure the
slider would be in the correct position.  It seems easier to me to use the
switch.  What are others thoughts, Daryl P.? Joe W.?  gv

side lever.  In order to get the ailerons and flaps to move in unison we find 
that 150% of down aileron is required.  We then use flap rate and flaperon mix. 
 Are we missing a key step here that would simplify without having to establish 
this large aileron down travel?  Tom Gressman/RMSA/Denver

Re: [RCSE] 9303 questions

2005-02-16 Thread Barry Andersen
A fine radio, with not so fine documentation.
First suggestion, go to the Horizon website and download the JRP9249 
manual.  That's the standard airplane manual.  It does have the copy 
function listed.

In brief:
go into model select, what's not intuitive is that you have to 
highlight the "select"  text then press the cricket wheel.  This 
changes the function from select to copy.  Hard to find if you don't 
know where to look.

Be sure the model you want to copy is already selected, then select the 
model number to copy to. Rename as needed. Viola

If you haven't fiddled with the little flap trim and flaperon trim 
slide switches at the top.  Give them a push.  They make re-centering 
existing glued in servos a breeze.  Another major feature that is 
undocumented.

I'm just making the transition myself.

[RCSE] 9303 Question

2005-02-16 Thread Jim McCarthy
Title: Message



There is a copy 
function. Although the manual does not show it, it is actually present in the 
main setup menu. You can access it under the model select menu which will allow 
you to copy one model to another. Feel free to drop me a note for any other 
questions.

RE: [RCSE] 9303 questions

2005-02-16 Thread John Derstine
There should be a card in your box to send for the other manuals no
charge, or go to Horizons web site and down load a pdf file and print
it.

The copy function is done from "model select" in the system menu. It is
not spelled out in the manual as I remember.
If you are not comfortable with the JR charge polarity, just make up
charging plugs for your aftermarket charger, or pull the batteries for
charging. I usually carry spare charged batteries so I don't have to
field charge anyway. You can charge up to a 1 amp rate through the
transmitter with no problems. Plenty for your intended battery.

Yes, and you have 30 slots to save them in.
I use all JR gear, so I am already used to the polarity issue, but I carry 
a separate charge cable in case guys with other brands need a bump off my 
fast charger.  That's the way I handle it.

You are really going to enjoy your new radio, I certainly like my 9303.

[RCSE] 9303 question

2005-02-06 Thread James R MacLean
Some questions about the new JR radio:  Is the R700 and /or R770 receiver
of a form factor conducive to the usual 3 meter sailplane fuse
dimensions?

Can the TX be easily converted by the user to Mode one operation?  (mode
one is elevator and rudder on the left stick)  My present Futaba 8UAX
makes the conversion very simple.  I have owned transmitters which were
very difficult to convert.

Can the transmitter operate in a standard FM mode such as would be
compatable with a normal FM receiver? Yes, I know the shift polarity does
not match Futaba and Hitec but on 50 MHz band they are all the same so I
plan on continuing to use my collection of FMA and Futaba receivers. I
may have to reorder the servo connections however.  

Many thanks,  Jim MacLean   Melbourne, FL

Re: [RCSE] 9303 Vs. Stylus?

2005-01-09 Thread Mike Remus



I too have owned a Vision and a Stylus.  I liked them both a lot, 
especially the operations manual on the Vision.  I now have the JR9303 and 
like it, though I relocated a couple of switches to suit me.
Advantages/ Differences??
The main thing about the Stylus that I don't like, is having to 
purchase two additional cards in order to have the whole Radio and it's 
only an 8 channel system.  You need more for a scale glider.
Some important pluses for the JR9303. Better price for good functionality. 
Great support from Horizon Hobby, and they actively support our glider 
activities. I would like to see a better manual, or someone writing a good tip 
sheet for it.  That might not be a problem for someone already familiar 
with a JR radio.
I am looking forward to this summer with my 9303.

[RCSE] 9303 Vs. Stylus?

I've been using the Stylus for a few years now and was wondering how 
the 9303 compared.  I like several things about the Stylus, but there 
are a few I don't:

1.  I think the camber setup is confusing
2.  I don't like the way you have to reset the timer.  It's not 
practical for the quick turn-around DLG launches.
3.  It's heavy (although for DLG, it exercises both arms)
4.  If you select wing type after you've done some programming, 
everything is reset

The things I love about the Stylus are:
1.  The ability to change channels with the modules (although they're a 
little expensive)
2.  The ability to fly on both positive and negative shift

Anyway, I've read some of the literature about the 9303 and now that 
they're in the hands of the consumers, I'm curious how it stacks up to 
the Stylus.

unwanted interaction with the original channel assignment you need to
deactivate that in device select.

 When using the flight modes and throttle hold, what the manual does not
specifically say is that you need to go to a program mix and mix motor
as master to the channel you want to assign to the spoiler stick when
the motor hold is on. In other words, the ancillary function you want
assigned to the spoiler stick when you flip the LAND(or other flight
mode) switch on. Don't assign any values here, or choose a switch at the
bottom of the screen. Exit the mix. This would be the same for any motor
switch assignment.

Now to get the flap to work with the spoiler stick (this example), I
went to the Butterfly P-mix menu. This will allow you to mix flap to the
spoiler stick in any direction or percentage you wish, if you wanted you
could also add elevator comp as I did, and flaperon mix if desired.
Because of the steps taken to this point, the values entered will only
affect the surfaces when the LAND switch is down or on. Simultaneous to
this the throttle (because we chose 0% in the MOTO hold window) will be
inactive.

Programming speed controls is something that needs to be simplified in
my book. Using a throttle stick as suggested by some manufacturers,
requires that you program your speed control before setting up the plane
if you want to use a button off/on when flying. That said, Castle
creations has taken the curse off this process by offering a computer
interface for programming your speed control on your PC. The nice thing
is if you are using Li polys you can select a precise cut off voltage vs
the stock presets in the stick programming mode.

JR. states that you can assign the MOOT function to a number of
different places. This is not true. In fact, all the channel functions
are stuck on the channels they are assigned to. They cannot be changed.
They can, however, be mixed.  The stock assignment for AX 2 (channel 7)
is the spoiler stick. This means that no matter where you assign the
MOOT function in the devices menu, the motor will be effected by the
spoiler stick. for a 6 servo plane, this isn't workable.

Re: [RCSE] 9303

2004-10-26 Thread RCSoaring


The following solution was used for my Stratus SL with an electric fuse. Before I cover the actual programming, it's worth going over my basic set up (I'll leave out all the real detail stuff). The Radio is configured so that left three position switch is used for the following:
 
FORWARD = speed mode
Small amount of reflex, less throw, less differential, more snap flap
 
CENTER = cruise
No reflex, more throw, more differential, a little less snap flap
 
BACK = Thermal
More differential, just a bit of snap flap
 
 
 
Gear switch (I physically had to turn it upside down so that down could represent landing settings)
 
DOWN = landing mode
Using Mix one, the first 60% of the spoiler stick pulls the flaps down. The last 40% actuates spoilers up. The elevator compensates with the second mix on a multipoint curve. I also mix in rudder just for landing (There are nasty rotors where I land often land, and it gives me a little less to think about)
 
UP = full-span camber
 
 
Elevator dual rate
 
DOWN = off with brake
UP = 100% full throttle
 
JR. states that you can assign the MOOT function to a number of different places. This is not true. In fact, all the channel functions are stuck on the channels they are assigned to. They cannot be changed. They can, however, be mixed.  The stock assignment for AX 2 (channel 7) is the spoiler stick. This means that no matter where you assign the MOOT function in the devices menu, the motor will be effected by the spoiler stick. for a 6 servo plane, this isn't workable.
 
You will need an 8 channel receiver, and the speed controller should be on channel 8 (AX 3). Connect the receiver battery to channel 7 using a separate lead. A "Y" connector for the receiver pack and the speed controller works with many speed controllers, but not on some... (for example, not on mine). 
 
Go to the DeviceSEL menu, and leave AUX3 set to the AUX3 LEV, and set it to INH. this means you can effect the motor trim by moving the right slider.
 
Set MOTO to ELEV D/R with the OUT set to ACT.
 
Go to one of the PROG. mixes, and set it for MOTO->AUX3.
 
Set CRU, SPD, and THM modes to POS1. the rest are set to POS0. This enables the elevator switch to actuate the motor in those modes in the up position.
 
 
Here's where your mileage may vary:
for Pos1 start by setting the top and bottom to +125%. This gives you full on, and full off with the switch. The Offset, will change the center position. By adjusting those three numbers, you can program the end points for the speed controller. Each speed controller is programmed a different way, so the specifics for programming those end points will vary. I had to set my Offset to +90 to get the amount of brake I needed.

Mike -

I also did not care for the flight mode switch location. I tried to fly with it there, 
it proved to be ugly. Beats me why they buried a switch that you need to be able to 
hit blind every launch. 

I was able to move it pretty easily. I swapped it with the elevator dual rate switch. 
If you fiddle with the wire harness and clip a cable tie or two you can get enough 
slack to do this without clipping and soldering any wires. This move helped a good 
bit. 

I'd like to move it to where the gear switch is currently, but I haven't taken the 
time to do so yet. That will probably require some wire splicing.

Now for the stick switch...gotta do something about that...maybe a chunk of rubber

[RCSE] 9303 review

2004-10-26 Thread John Derstine
A few weeks ago I started a pictorial thread on RC Forums regarding the
new JR 9303. I recently gleaned the best of my original posts with
pictures and constructed a review of the radio on my web site. It will
continue to be updated as I get new info and I make new discoveries
about the radio. Kind of like a mini dictatorial BLOG.
It features a general photo overview with comparisons to other JR
radios, a quick set up to trailing edge switched presets using the
MONITOR screen, and an example of electric motor set up with and without
the motor hold function.

You can do it with the Graupner MX22, same body as the JR 9303, but I 
think the software might by different. On the MX22 , there is four 
softswitch that you can program so more than one function can 
activate the softswitch.

The 9303 has motor on 
a switch in spades.  See the Note on page S12 of the manual.  "if dual 
flap is activated, the motor function is not assigned to any channel."  In 
the new Devic. SEL page (again see page S12 of the manual) the motor function 
can then be assigned to Ail D/R, Ele D/R, Rudd D/R, Aux 4 SW, R3P SW, L3P SW, 
the new butterfly push button, the timer switch or the spoiler stick.  

 
There is also a motor 
hold function (See page S29 of the manual).  This allows you to enable or 
disable the motor switch in any of the five flight modes.  As an example, 
the spoiler stick may work the motor in a launch mode with a little flap and 
some down elevator (If you don't have enough down thrust at the motor)  In 
all the rest of the modes, the spoiler stick is for flaps and the motor will not 
operate.  
 
I am intrigued by the 
possibility of putting the motor with a soft start on the butterfly push 
button.  Push to turn on, push to turn off.  With camber on the side 
slide, the spoiler stick is always on for flaps.

Using the throttle stick for both camber and launch is something you 
don't have to do.  I never ever used it that way. I always programmed a 
switch to provide launch preset, throttle stick was always for landing 
with same mix in either switch position, and I use a combination of 
camber presets and elevator to camber mixing to keep the airfoil working 
best for the conditions and elevator input.

Does this mean you have to pull a switch to have the left stick operate

RE: [RCSE] 9303 question

2004-09-04 Thread John Diniz
Barry,
 
I just programmed my Tragi into the 9303 this morning. WOW super easy, took about 1.5 
hours, 2 minutes of which was moving the servo leads. (Had to break for a cup of 
coffee after that chore 8^) The flight modes control things like throws, expo, rudder 
coupling, differential and the like. You can setup butterfly to be on all the time, as 
is in the basic setup instruction that John Adams wrote. So no matter what switches 
you have thrown the throttle stick will give you landing crow all the time. 
 
Did a range check and a few trim flights and I am loving it. Flying off the zip start 
was able to hook a low thermal to get a 25 min flight. What is also cool on the radio 
are the dual timers. I setup a 10 min countdown watch and also a stop watch and 
program them to start with the momentary/timer button just above the rudder/throttle 
stick. Makes it very easy to start when you come off the line. Also on the countdown 
timer it gives 3 beeps at 30 seconds, 2 beeps at 20 and a beep per secound from 10 to 
0, great for landing practice. Also the tones change in pitch as it counts down.
 
It was nice to finally get my radio into a plane and acually fly it instead of playing 
around with it at work. We should have the radios here in a week or so and then they 
have to go through QA before being released for shipment, So you should be seeing them 
at you dealer in 2-3 weeks max.
 
Regards,
John

Subject: [RCSE] 9303 question



I noticed when looking at the 9303 manual download (thanks Jon), that
the stock set-up has a "landing mode".

Does this mean you have to pull a switch to have the left stick operate
the flaps fully and not camber as in some other JR radios?

Did anyone note if it were shift selectable?  I spent a little time in 
the manual and saw no comment on this point.   It looks like a most 
interesting Tx, but I have a small fortune in Futaba-shift Rx's and am 
reluctant to reinvest in new shift battery of receivers.
I didn't notice it... but I too only scanned the manual.
Overall,  I wasn't really impressed.  I guess I want too much.
Is the front panel flap trim digital?  The throw looks pretty small.
I like the dials on the 8103, but I wish they had a center detent.

[RCSE] 9303/EVO

2002-01-01 Thread Marta Zavala
Was wondering how the 9303 stacks up against the EVO.  I have used JR radios
for years and am very familiar with them.  I now have a EVO12, there is a
pretty big learning curve with it, at least for me.  Would I be
losing/gaining if I were to get rid of the EVO and go w/the 9303?
Thanks, Walter
