[NSRCA-discussion] 9Z Programming Sheet

[Bob Richards]

Ed,
   
  I bought the Ace Micropro just for pattern. I had problems trying to trim the plane. To make a long story short, I figured out the resolution was 256 by putting a long pointer on a Futaba 9101 servo. I could count the steps! The poor resolution made it impossible to trim the plane for straight and level consistently.
   
  It was a great radio for sport flying. I loved the autotrim feature. The buddy box worked the way it should with any radio, only the stick positions were sent over the link, then passed through the programming in the master radio. Plug and play!
   
  If it had been 1024 or better resolution, I probably would have kept it. A lot can be said for the computer radios, but the old analog radios had infinite resolution.

      Yes Bob, both my dad and I had Ace Micropro 8000's.  They had a very innovative ( at the time ) programming setup.  I can tell you that generic Futaba 9101 coreless servos had better resolution than the radio had.  For my dad using standard servos the radio was fine until Ace faded way. He is very happy with his 2 Futaba 8UAFs radio's now. I was sad to see them go, the last of the American radio's. 
  Of course we have it much better now with everything produced in obscure parts of the world.

  Been done, over 10 years ago.  Ace did it with their Micropro 8000 radio.  You could edit the radio setup on the computer, and save the file to disk. You could then email the setup file to someone if needed.
   
  There were a LOT of things I liked about that radio.  Too bad it was only 256 resolution!!! (Their answer: "256 is better than most servos.")
