Re: [RCSE] Need FedEx claim advice

Perhaps they'll accept a claim for an experimental remotely piloted aircraft? I sent some UAV wings to NM by Fedex ground. They were very adequately packed in their cores with cardboard around the perimeter edge and a roll and a half of packing tape literally mummifying the whole thing. I had se

I recently bought a JR 9303 and have been flying it on 2 planes, including a full house one. I am a longtime Stylus flyer, but have owned an 8103 too. The 9303 is very well suited to almost anything you want to do with a competition glider. Key features of the 9303 over the 8103 are: - every m

Wow, I agree with everything Jon said... When I was upgrading from my 783, I would have been all over a 9303 if it was available at that time. The sliders on the side, 30 model memories, easy to use menu system on the thumb "cricket" wheel, digital trims... I would have jumped right over 8103
