Help with radio choice, Possible firestorm!

[Fletcher, Richard]

Hi Troy, 

    Do these radios have a throttle curve screen like the 9Z? I recall a
friend who struggled with the 8103 this summer trying to program his
throttle so that it had a linear feel. He was not able to do it.

Both the 9303 and 10X have trim resolution that can be changed same as the
9Z. This is an important feature as Richard mentions. I use the One beep
equals 4 % when test flying a unknown model. This way if something happens
you don't need to go beep-beep-beep-beep-beep a bunch of times to correct
the issue quickly...Then after we know the model is close on the trim tabs I
dial it down to 1beep is 1% and have super fine adjustment of the trim tabs.
As always trimming the model goes beyond moving the TX trim tabs. These are
for fine adjustments and daily condition changes.

The flexibility to configure the models differently is a real bonus in
today's modern radios
