<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>

<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></body></html>
