<div>The 11X does not offer much for the $$ (with no stick programmable conditions), the 12X is overpriced (with just 5 conditions), the 12Z is really nice but I'm not sure its $500 more than 12FG.</div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<p class="MsoNormal">Which transmitter?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently using a Futaba 9zap WC2 with a 2.4 module.<span> </span>I am thinking about changing my transmitter to something more current. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem I face is that I use many of the functions in the WC2 and I don’t want to lose any of them with out spending a large amount of money on a Futaba 14mz.<span> </span>They are many transmitters on the market that may work for me but I am having a hard time find which transmitters have the functions I am looking for.<span> </span>It is not as simple as asking in the local hobby store, they don’t seam to understand how conditions are used for in a fixed wing aircraft and the websites are not to clear and it’s not like I can try them all! </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sure they are many people on this list are familiar with the use of conditions, ATV, Expo, duel rates, switch/stick assignment.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking at achieving the following conditions:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Regular flight</u></b>: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Basic functions e.g. ATV, Expo, Ail diff, Rud to Ele, Rud to Ali, P mixs, Ailvator. Timer (timer assigned to throttle starts above 5%) All these would be copied into the other conditions and adjustments are made as followed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Spin condition:</u></b> Adjust ATV and Expo.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Snap condition:</u></b> Adjust ATV, Expo and duel rates turning on/off on throttle stick within the snap condition. I use this to increase/decrease my control throws at the lower 10% of my throttle for down line snaps.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Hammer Condition:</u></b> Adjust ATV (including throttle) and Expo.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>3D condition (IMAC): </u></b>Adjust ATV and Expo.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I like to have all my conditions assigned to two, 3 point switches on the left side of the transmitter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I case of flying a foamy I like to assign one, 3 point switch to the left side for all the dual rates. (I hate haven to flick three switches to change the rates for all three control surfaces) </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been looking at the following transmitters but I don’t know what they have to offer, I hope someone can list what they do and don’t have?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Spektrum DX8, JR 11x, JR 12x, Futaba 12FG and Futaba 12Z.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The about may sound a little longwinded but I hope someone can help.</span></div><br></div></div></div><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NSRCA-discussion mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></span></div></blockquote></body></html>
