[NSRCA-discussion] FW: Made the swtich to 2.4G SS

[Ed Alt]

Fully charged, a 2 cell LiPO is 8.4V, whereas a fully charged 6 cell NiCad is about 8.1V.  The NiCad will fairly quickly drop to about an average of 1.25V per cell after a few minutes of use.

Almost forgot. The voltage of a 6 cell nicad and a 2 cell lipo is very similar but I will have to double check the exact number.

Hi guys,
  I got my SD-10 about a week before the Nats and I am really starting to like it. Switch to the heavy springs as soon as you open the box. Even set lightly they have a great feel. The resistance on the throttle is seperate from the ratchet. Mine was very light out of the box. Spend the ten minutes with the back off the radio and customize it you will be happy you did. 
  If you fly fingers the trims will feel very intuitive. The are right were your hand want to fall. We have all just gotten used to centered trims after so many years. For me snap timing and 8 - points changed just much crisper than my Stylus.
 One really cool thing on the throttle cut especially for E power. I set the throttle cut on switch 15 right over the left stick. The great safety thing is no matter what you do with the throttle stick the motor will not turn. I feel much better plugging my packs in and my caller handling my plane knowing that I can't accidentally bump the throttle and have a problem. Then switch 14 is the idle up set to a negative offset. This will engage the brake and allow normal throttle response. Switch 13 is normal flight and normal trim settings to set your idle with no brake. This is for most fly and makes it easier for me to land without slowing down too quickly.
 I will have to RTFM myself. I thought the wall wart that comes with is a peak detection charger. The light will turn green and flip to trickle mode. Because of this Global has been recomending the first five charges be for 24 hours to properly break in the pack to give max flight time.
 
PS. Bob it may be time for a servo upgrade too!

Mark,
 
RX60 is 6 grams with case.  4 grams without based on specifications.
I just got my RX700.  It will go in a small pattern plane.  RX60 will go on an indoor plane for this winter.
Inside the radio seem really simple compared to X9303.  7.2V TX pack is good.  
Hope TX trim parts will be available soon.  A little hard to reach for the trim.
Software downloaded from Airtronics website, and am waiting for USB adapter to become shippable at Global.
 
Do you know if the TX has liPo cut off?

Yup!!  There are currently 4 rx’s for the Atx 2.4 system.  The 10ch, 8ch, 7ch, and a micro 6ch which is limited in range (Park flyers)
 
I should have a 6ch tomorrow, so I’ll send you a note offlist on the weight.  I believe it’s supposed to be in the 5-6gm range.
 
The 10ch is about 15gms, the 8ch is the same, the 7ch is less, about 11gms.  All are very small and compact.  I’ve been using the 8ch without a case for my foamies while I waited for the micro 6 to be available.  Without the case the 8ch is about 12gms, which is heavy, but workable.

I've been looking at the Airtronics 10ch radio. However, it appears (on Tower Hobbies and on the Airtronics website) that there are only two receivers that will work with it. All the smaller receivers appear to be for surface use. Is this true? Do they have any smaller receivers, like for foamie use?
