Yea really, who was the guy who figured pots with twist knobs was a good idea, flaps are impossible with knobs. Too bad you have to spend 1200 dollars to get two 5 dollar sliders. -Original Message- From: James V. Bacus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2000 8:34 PM To

Buy a 10X and do it all.(for $1200.00) Infinate storage on your PC, e-mail setups to a friend, 8103 or 10x, access 5 flight modes while flying, asignable to multiple switches. TV screen menu OR function code number programing. Disadvasntage; you need a brain to acheive complex mixing tasks, no ins

re the Highlander problems - try DAW instead! I can only say that two DAW S1-26 HLGs are as durable and if you make one aileron and one poly you have the best of two worlds! Even better - if you intend to slope them, make one a full house, using nano servos, and one a two- servo poly and they'll

I have to agree with everyone praising the Multiplex 3030. I've had mine for two years now and I still marvel at its adaptability. I use it for all my models and it copes with every strange set-up I can think of. And a charge lasts for 5-6 hours. And it's not being constantly changed. And it doesn

Hi All, I get a pretty good chuckle at some of the arguments regarding "the best radio". Often the foundation for an argument regarding "the best radio" is based on the respondent's reasoning used when he/she bought or acquired the radio. Common "proof" that a particular radio is the "best" ofte
