<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>DX5e is already out. it comes with AR500 full range 5 channel rx.</DIV>
<DIV>It has one switch that changed the rates on ail, ele, rudder. (100% & 70%) AR500 has dual aileron output.</DIV>
<DIV>Very good for trainer. If used by pilot who has good experience in mechanical setup on linkages, he/she could use it for some of those low wing trainers. (No exponential).</DIV>
<DIV>Elevon/Delta mixing is standard.</DIV>

Hi Ron,<BR>There is a new Spektrum DX5e about to come out that is as you describe.<BR>Not all the bells and whistles but is a full range system for just under $100.<BR>JLK<BR><BR><BR>> From: vanputte@cox.net<BR>> Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 10:16:48 -0500<BR>> To: nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Good used radio<BR>> <BR>> Those are all good points. However, I have a small hobby shop and <BR>> many of my customers and I are very conservative financially (we're <BR>> tightwads) and the the 8-channel module/receiver combination costs <BR>> about $70 more than the 7-channel cousin. I know the big price <BR>> difference is mostly in the receiver, which is the same one used with <BR>> all the high-end Futaba 2.4 GHz systems. Except for my Pattern <BR>> airplanes, none require more than six channels. I only use one of my <BR>> Futaba 9ZAPs for my Pattern airplanes, so the second 9Z doesn't
need/ <BR>> can't use the capabilities of a second 8-channel module/receiver <BR>> combination, so I can't justify the extra cost.<BR>> <BR>> BTW, there are many 2.4 GHz systems out there and the prices are all <BR>> over the map. A good example of a low-priced one is the E-Sky 4 and <BR>> 6 channel systems and, while they are simple radios, with only basic <BR>> features (no mixing. dual rates. etc), they are perfectly adequate <BR>> for park fliers and other small airplanes and the transmitter/ <BR>> receiver combos are priced at under $100. What would really be great <BR>> is if they were compatible with Futaba/JR/Spektrum/Extreme, etc.<BR>> <BR>> Ron Van Putte<BR>> <BR>> On Oct 23, 2008, at 9:32 AM, Bob Richards wrote:<BR>> <BR>> > Ron,<BR>> ><BR>> > If I were you, I would get the 8 channel module for both of them. <BR>> > The 7 channel module only works with the 7 channel
