[RCSE] Need Programmable TX, new or used.
Hi, entire group! I am looking to set up a buddy with a flying wing. I have the kit, servos, rx, etc., but I need a TX that can handle exponential as well as basic mixing (elevon). And I want to pay minimum to get these basic features. The TX needs to have a nicad pack and slow charger to be useful to me. I would love information about: 1)Used TX you might have that would fit the bill, along with a proposed price. 2)Best possible source and price for a programmable TX-only purchased new. 3)Great deals on a full package that has the servos and rx and all. After all, I can always use the additional onboard pack for a project of my own later, esp. if the package deal is great. Has to be small submicro onboard gear to be interesting to me, though. Thanks in Advance for any leads. Lift, Scobie in Seattle RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Many new pilots, and some that have been around for a while, are using the Hitec Focus 3. http://www.hitecrcd.com/air/focus3.html Jerry R.

It does not have exponential. The closest thing in that line would be the new Flash 5.

Re: [RCSE] Need Programmable TX, new or used.
This might be a good place to provide some feedback on advice I received on this topic before Christmas. I was looking for an inexpensive tx to recommend to a friend for his grandson's Christmas present for a flying wing. My concern was that my experience with 3 very different wings all required more aileron throw than elevator on the mixed elevons. It didn't seem likely that the Hitec 3SS would have that adjustment so I inquired on RCSE regarding the Flash 4. Several people told me this would be no problem. It appears the correct answer is: 3SS No Flash 4 No Flash 5 Limited Yes My Futaba Super 7 (7UAFS) allows this ratio to be set up in the elevon mix, leaving the dual rates to be set as you wish. None of the listed Hitec txs do that (can't speak for the Prism). On a Flash 5, the dual rates can be set to reduce elevator throw relative to ailerons. But The high position of the dual rate switch is fixed at 100%, the low position can be adjusted. In order to set the ratio of elevator to aileron, you must fly on low rate, therby negating any use of switchable dual rates. The Flash 4 and 3SS don't have dual rates at all, so there is no way to set the elevator throw seperately from the ailerons. An expert pilot can fly fine with any of these txs using the computer in his head to compensate for the differing roll/pitch sensitivity. For a beginner or a fumble thumbs, however, this can be a frustration which they cannot even isolate, its just hard to fly. The Flash 5 seems to be the minimum tx for flying wings for learners. It also has expo and some flap cability. Fortunately, due to other considerations, my friend wound up with a Flash 5. Rick, RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
