Default Re: Pathetic - What if........???

Of course the radio's are the reason the good guys fly better... just look at any add from Futaba, JR, HiTech, airtronics... they say so!

To paraphrase a Nike add from a few years ago, "it's got to be the transmitter".... (was "it's got to be the shoes")

Damn and I thought all along The computer Radios and arf's where just there to help get those first couple of flights of the day over quicker so I could get to socializing sooner.

You dont socialize when you are flying? I use the computer radio to put the plane in autopilot so i can smoke and joke and yell 'LOWER! LOWER!' to the nancys standng next to me flying those gay lazy circles that get in the way of my inverted loops and cuban eights.

i do think that it is funny when people think that mixing out rudder/elevator coupling at KE will adversely affect the rest of flight!!!!!! if the plane noses toward the belly with rudder hold in KE, it will do so at a straight and level attitude as well. it will do so on a rudder corrected up line...it will do so on a corrected down line, etc.... mixing to correct an attitude positioin does NOT adversely affect the other attitudes!!!!!!! mix away! the plane doesn't know it's not flying upright and straight!

many people fly their crafts VERY well....fighting them the whole time!!!!! fine with me, to each his own, BUT......... the technology is there and probably already in most of our posession being unused. take advantage of the technology and fly even better.
