Hi All
Removing old monokote/solarfilm/ultracoat colo(u)r from balsa is fairly
easy. Using a covering iron, iron some paper kitchen towel down on to
the mess and remove after a few seconds while still warm - the coloured
adhesive comes away easily with the tissue and can be discarded.
About six years ago I placed a large order with them, including a JR 8103 radio.
I asked the wife to ship the immediately available portion of the order early
in a separate shipment. She agreed and assured me there would be no extra
charge.
When the first shipment arrived there was a $5.00
Thanks for all the ideas.
I pulled out the monokote iron and a dirty covering sock, and about 15
minutes later all the remaining covering was in little, burnt balls on
the floor. I just kept going back and forth over the covering on fairly
high heat; it would heat up, roll up, and fall off -

Harley, before you buy 9303 sailplane version take a look at the airplane
version. I believe the software is the same but I like the switch setup on the
upper left panel for the airplane version. more flexability with the 3 position
switch that comes with the airplane setup.

Dave,
Are you sure? My understanding is the airplane and sailplane versions have the
same switch layout, but different labels printed under them.

it also be the proper plug for the charger to plug into

That sounds like ozone (metallic smell). It isn't healthy.

The best switch setup is to slightly moddify the radio and move the Elevator
dual rate switch to the right front panel (where the thermal/cruise/speed
switch is located), move the launch/cruise/land switch one place to the
left( where the elev d/r switch was) and rotate it 180 degrees, and move

Gentlemen, I have the sailplane version, and as it comes out of the box.
there are two 3 position switches on the top face of the radio Tx. One
is directly above the left stick and the other is directly above the
right stick.
I chose to swap locations of the Left 3 position switch over to the

Hard to go wrong with either of those choices. Have a few people on my
home slope with the Voltij and they love it, bit fussy to build, but certainly
managable. You should also consider the Airtech products distributed by

Hey guys,

Y'all know I'm no electronics whiz, so I'd appreciate a little advice if any
is necessary:

One charger was stock JR, the other one I THOUGHT was my other stock JR wall

to the article, please? Otherwise, what are the

Hello Scobie,
Yes, the JR charger for the RADIO (only) is REVERSED.
If you pluged in a charger from a different brand
(with reversed polarity) into the radio it will short
out the fuse in the TX. You will have to replace the
fuse.

That's right, they are. The JR charging plug has the negative connection on

You'd think so, but apparently not because he already said his radio is okay:

Most radios and modern equipment have a diode in them just for this
accident. In which case the battery is in the same condition as when he

Put it on the regular charger and charge for the right time and you should

A friend of mine did exactly this with a JR 8103. He charged it up, and
it looked OK. 8 minutes into his first flight with a 33% Edge with a
DA100 on it he went into failsafe and crashed into a big lake at the
site. Total loss of the plane.
Batteries are cheap. Spend $30 and get a bigger NiMH

If the pack was healthy to start with, you may be fine. This will depend
greatly on pack condition, and just how long you had thme on reverse charge.

There is a lot of bogus mation being passed around.
1st, the JR radio's do have reversed polarity, if you had plugged the Hitec
