JR "Unplugged"

[Jon Uhler]

George,
 
Is this the "JR 10 X Air programming" doc that JR tech support will send you
if you request it?  Or is it a new doc?
 
Can you email me a copy?
 
Thanks,

Don, 
Thanks for taking the time to respond. It was not expected, but appreciated.
I have your responce printed out for reference. 
I also received an additional help from another concerned individual who
sent me an article from Horizon on programming the 10-X which just happened
to be 35 pages in length, but I was unable to print it. It activates a
non-accessable dialogue box. Duh! 
Regarding switch assignments: E-F, MD, LD, MX, AU, GR, SNP, STK,......I'm
aware that MX refers to the mix switch, GR the gear switch, SNP the snap
switch, and STK the throttle lever, but am in the dark regarding the rest.
Could you define E-F, MD, LD, AU, .......AU sounds like it would be an
Auxilliary switch, but which one? Also, is it possible to assign anything to
the Flap Switch (not the flap lever), the one that says "elev and land"
beside it? 
Thanks for explaining "Normal, Include, and Origin" . 
I'm using the Elev D/R switch for activation of my flight mode which prompts
me to ask, are you flying mode one or two? 
On the subject of the mousse can, the one I had on my Schmooze is going on a
new airplane this season so I have gotten more longevity from it than I
originally anticipated. 
Oh, while I've got you, that #10 maneuver in F-03. I got thinking about that
the other nite and it occurred to me after drawing out several variations of
the maneuver that if the loop portion of the maneuver is sized so that the
bottom of the loop is at the same altitude as the entry line, then the
vertical up becomes the absolute center of the maneuver no matter what size
you make the overall maneuver. Makes it very easy to judge the center of the
maneuver, for both the pilot and the judge. Troy's probably going to jump in
here and complain about too much detail, but as a judge I feel every
maneuver needs an absolute standard to be judged against.When there's too
much subjectivity allowed everybodys personal bias gets thrown into the mix
and interpretations run wild.Draw this out at a few different scales and
you'll see what I mean. 
Thanks again, 
Georgie

 Georgie, I'm really sorry you are having difficulty with programming, I'll
be happy to show you next time we see each other.   Never having done
airbrake before (if you mean both ailerons up like when landing), I just
turned it on and programmed it with the following: With the airbrake coming
on at low throttle like when landing, here are the following steps (assuming
you have wing type set to flaperon):Pick a mix (I used 51)  select throttle
---> flap.  Go to "ORIG". then page back and hit the offset (I normally give
it two clicks of throttle) then enter the percent mix (that you want the
ailerons to go up).  Ooops, wrong direction ailerons are going down, just
hit the "turn" button.  Done!  Want to turn it on/off with any switch? Just
hit the page button and select one.  BTW,  "ORIG" is used so that if you
have to make trim changes to throttle, it won't effect the mix, just takes
the raw stick movement.  Norm, is normal stick and trim and INCL adds in
everything you have tied to it (like mixes). Don't want associated airbrakes
with throttle stick position? Then just do the same 51, and mix gear to
flaps (or any free channel to flap), and you're there.  Bump up the % to
where you want it. Done.  In fact you can assign this to most any (gear, aux
2, aux 3, aux 4, aux 5) switch/lever by assigning therefore, and then going
to your favorite code 17, disactivating the (master mix channel). Switch
assignment- mixes can be assigned to any of your switch/lever of choice
(E-F, MD, LD, MX, AU, GR, SNP, and stick position). Its harder to describe
than to just dive in and program with the touch screen. The 5 flight modes
that are available can be used for different setups (if you want to
experiment trying different combinations during a flight for example)  Its
an incredibly potent radio. BTW, To get the extra two rates, go to your
favorite function 17 and select "extra" and you'll see FM3 and FM4 appear in
your Dual Rate/Expo (Code 13). I've set up 5 flight modes before. For
example on my TOC plane I have normal flying (F0), 4 roll circles (F1), One
roll circles (F2), 3D/ Freestyle (F3), and alternate 3D/ Freestyle (F4).
Note for the back right switch, it gives you F0, F3 and F4, so you can
always go back you your baseline F0 with just one switch movement.
Transmitter beeps if you turn it on and switch rate position is other than
F0..  Useful if you don't want to take off in 3D mode. I will say, however,
its up to personal preferences.  For example, on my pattern plane, I prefer
just one switch (the aileron D/R) for changing all (Ail, elev, rudder) rates
from low to high.  I make the centers the same (double expo on high) so I
can switch rates during a maneuver, in fact even during a (loose) loop
radius, and it will have the same feel and not "jerk" when I change rates.
If I could get by with just one rate and no switches at all, I would.  Chip
does. Some pattern plane designs are already there. BTW, still have the
double moose can muffler (as a spare)that I made from your great idea in
case the multi $$ ES pipe fails. Don

 I feel compelled to interject at this point that my experience with the JR
10X  programming has not been the piece of cake that others seem to find it
to be.
