Do you want all the 8103 functions on the buddy box? If you do you'll need another 8103. But if you only need for instance 4 channels then you only need a 4 channel JR buddy box. Only caveat is you need to let your pupil hold your 8103 while you hold his cheaper box (Which must also have a

[RCSE] E-Z connectors

2001-10-23 Thread Bill Harris
The Skybench BigBird I'm building uses EZ connectors at the servo arm. With power planes, this type of connector is not recommended on the basis that they can fail, loosening from the engine vibration and the servo loads (although I used them on throttle linkage without failure). I'm

I use EZ connectors on a lot of saiplanes where space permits with no problems. They make trim changes simple when you are first getting the model setup. Cheers, Mark http://www.isthmusmodels.com --- Bill Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Skybench BigBird I'm building uses EZ connectors at

Regarding 8103 programming, I figured something out over last weekend that I was baffled by at the time. This is a full house glider with dual flaps, so I enabled that in the model select mode (hold up down keys while turning it on). Then in the regular menus, I disabled all the flap trim

As someone who's never programmed a JR, I must ask: is the 8103 programming as long, unintuitive and complex as this recent post sounds? Egad, from what you guys have described, it sounds rather intimidating. Makes me glad I went with MPX. Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janesville, CA
