[NSRCA-discussion] Airtronics Back up equipment

[Atwood, Mark]

That's pretty much the scoop.  The memory cards are on the way.  I just got one of the first shipment to bring to the nats incase we need to move setups (hopefully Kris will stop dropping his transmitter!), but I don't think they've started to fill orders yet.

As for the modes, it's fairly simple and the instructions are in the manual that shipped.   4 screws to remove the back, the gimbals swap easily if you need to go to Mode 1 or 3, and electronically in the system menu you can switch between modes 1-4.

The Toll free help line will connect you with Jack Albrecht who has been doing support for Atx for a LONG time.  He knows all of the radios and equipment backwards and forwards.

I can also connect you with Mike Greenshields, the product manager if need be, just contact me off list.

There is also a Airtronics User group forum that's pretty worthwhile (very very low traffic compared to this list) at AirtronicsUsersGroup at egroups.com<mailto:AirtronicsUsersGroup at egroups.com>

As for the lipo pack, yes, the system was designed for a 2-cell lipo and as Anthony states, the case has an oversized battery compartment to allow various configurations.

  I have only had mine a short time but I will take a shot. The memory card is an accessory and I don't think they are available yet. The radio comes with a 20 model memory and the card adds another 20.
  It looks like modes 2 and 4 are swappable in the systems menu but I haven't tried it. Don't know about the others.
  The radio is designed to also use a two cell lipo but I don't think they have those yet either. The stock battery has a receiver plug on it and the compartment is a bit oversized leaving you many options.

Mark,

Does SD-10G have memory card?
I got one, but don't remember seeing any memory card.
Any idea how to open the radio to change the mode?

So far, it seems pretty good and light weight because of 7.2V tx pack.  I am thinking about adding two cell lipo pack if it is compatible.
By the way, How do I get a hold of guys at Airtronics?

To the guys that will be flying the new Airtronics SD-10G transmitter at the Nats,

Because the demand for the first two runs of this radio were so high, many that ordered 2 radios have only received 1 unit (including team flyers).  I wanted to let you know that Airtronics has been kind enough to loan us some spare equipment should someone have a problem.  I seem to recall a certain Michigan flyer backing his minivan over another (then Michagan, now South Carolina) flyer's transmitter that was resting comfortably in the shade of his rear tire.

I will be bringing a spare TX, RX, memory card for transferring programs, and some servo's.  Please  contact me offlist  if you're interested and I'll let you know where to get a hold of me during the nats should you need something.

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

-Mark
