Re: [RCSE] Vision 3.0 Questions.

2000-12-11 Thread Soaraddict
Older Visions had a flaw with the strap that holds the pot's output shaft to the radio. This strap often cracked causing the shaft to rotate and cause the problem you are experiencing. The fix is quite simple; just reinforce the strap and tighten it all back down after you re-center the pot

EMS in Germany markets 1/5 to 1/3 size up and go sailplane electric system. The engineering is done for such a system. I don't know if he will sell it separatly from his plane packages or not. See the scale soaring page for a link to EMS on the index page, and a hot link to the Antares site.

Stefan, I guess you could have that much down throw, but I don't see the point. On my HLG I have equal throws. I have the travel volume maxed out (or at least close) but to handle the extreme control I use 100% exponential with my computer radio. I get the fine, soft feel of small throws

I never tried it, I don't know for sure if acad13 can accept bmp files, but I would think so because it can do rendering. It can accept dxf files. Unfortunately I lent my manuals out and drafting is closed right now. I'll see what I can find, but there are some Acad heavyweights out there on the

We are not saying that we expect it to be easy. By all means make it harder. I am sure that the Level 5's would like another challenge (just ask Mal Pring who is doing it all again)! It can be made harder without the need for contests. Perhapes we need to leave the existing levels alone and add

RE: [RCSE] Original Crystal Question

I think the answer here is that JR (probably from complaints) believes their (JR) receivers on channels 11 - 14 are 'at risk' from FM channel 56 - 60 Txs (any make). Thus they have stopped supplying the Rx crystals - channels 11 - 14. Question: Do they sell TX modules for channels 11 - 14?
