Wow, not sure where to start.
I guess life for you is so nice that you have to stir some controversy in order
to feel alive? :)
I guess all I can do is look at my personal experience and say that when I am
at out field and there happens to be a problem with a radio in terms of
programming, it is always an Airtronics problem. Thats why I fly JR.
Mixes mysteriously turning on an undesireable control, surface glitches,
control surfaces not operating at all, control throws creating some sort of
weird creation of one aileron, the rudder and a flap popping up out of thin air
on a program that was solid last week.
Sort of like a ghost in the machine.
The one thing I would like to see in all radios would be a mode that would
display the radio front with an arrow that would jump from switch to switch on
the radio picture so that when you got to the switch you wanted to use, you
could click a button and start programming that switch the way you want it.
But at the end of the day, I like my JR 9303 and wouldn't trade it for a sack
full of stylus's.
No flame suit on here, just a little sunblock.
