Geez. You gotta learn to relax a little bit. This radio isn't
advertised as a sailplane radio. Notice that it says its for
helicopters and airplanes. Its a mistake to read too much into
that. If you look at the JR line of radios you will clearly see that
they know the difference between airplanes and sailplanes. Wait for
the sailplane version and I think you will find it more to your
liking. Of course you could by this on and live with a few
limitations if you wanted to. I know a number of guys who 'saved
money' by buying the 6102 to fly their sailplanes. Now they want to
know how to make it do all those sailplane things.
I am heartened that their descriptions of its range capability
includes unlimited sailplanes but I wouldn't take that to mean that
this particular radio is targeted at that audience. I would take it
to mean that they can release a sailplane version at some point. I'd
be real surprised if an equivalent to the 9303 isn't in the works.

Well, as I read it more I begin to see that with some finagling, you
could get a lot of functionality. But the JR 10x (and a lot of other
transmitters too) allow several flight modes with different settings
for camber, coupling, differential etc. I would love to have spread
spectrum, but I'd hate to give up any of those little programming
wrinkles.... ----- Original Message ---- From: tony estep

the DX7 Jim, I'm reading the Spektrum manual and I don't see any
wing type for 4-servo wings with separate flaps and ailerons. I'm
probably missing some obvious work-around, but on first glance it
doesn't look as if they gave the sailplane boys much of a thought
when they designed the programming. ----- Original Message ----
