Subject: [RCSE] 9303 Sailplane Modification
After using it for around 3 months in the conventional way (way it was
intended to be used), I modified my JR 9303. This was also prompted by the way
Joe has set up his 9303. He programmed the Elev D/R switch on the far left to
be launch mode on/off (toward you or down is on), and he programmed the
Land/Cruise/Launch switch to be Thermal/Cruise/Speed. I think he also had to
change the wiring on one of the switches, or turn it around. This allows all of
the various modes to be accessed with your left thumb so that you can keep your
right hand on the stick where it belongs.
My solution was slightly different, and required a tiny bit of easy
rewiring and relocation which is very easy on this radio. The total
modification took around 45 minutes including figuring out what to do.
The result is that my far left switch is Launch/Cruise/Land switch
moved over one position to the left and rotated 180 degrees so that Launch mode
is toward you (down) and Landing Mode is full up or away. The three position
switch from the right (Thermal/Cruise/Speed) is then relocated where the left
three position switch was located (requires one longer wire). The Elev D/R
switch that was on the far left is now where the Thermal/Cruise/Speed switch
was located next to the Ail D/R switch.
The radio front panel switches are now located as follows (from left to
right):
Land Speed Flap Trim Aux Trim
Elev D/R Aile D/R
Cruise Cruise
Launch Thermal
I will be modifying another for a friend and I will take some pictures
of what to do. If anyone else is interested just email me direct and I can send
you the info on how to do it.
