JR-9303 2.4 Field Results

[Pale Rider]

Would this setup work on the R921 rx ? This would be on a 35% plane 4 aileron servos (2 on each port connected with a Y)
1 Aileron
2 Aileron
3 Elevator
4 Elevator
5 Thro
6 Rudder
7 Kill
8 Bat 1
9 Bat 2

Sure, but you don't need to Y your ailerons, throw them on the 2 unused channels. The R921 rx the X9303 comes with has 2 battery ports, just plug your batts into those.

Oh really ? I dont have one yet--only looked at a small picture--Ill have to look for a better pic of one--that would be perfect! no Y's at all!

edit--Im using 4 aileron servos total--2 per wing so that wouldnt work

You can't assign channels 1-4 to be anything other than throt, ail, elev, rudd - in that order - so your scenario won't work.

Here's my install in a 35% Extra 260 with CF prop, spinner, wing tube, and pipes:

Yea I do know that--I was just numbering for the sake of seeing how many ports there are total--not necessarily in that order..

Great ideas there! I will certainly be using some of them in my Yak

Horizon just changed their "expected" date from Late Sept to early October

Anyone using the AR 9000 in a comp arf plane? I've been struggling to find good locations for the rxs in my 3M classic Extra even have the main rx mounted way up high in the canopy space and still getting relatively high fades. Have over 10 hours with smaller 50cc size no problems only some observations to pass on.
Tx by the way is a PCM 10 with the spektrum module and UK version so less power output than you guys
What is the power output of the American sets? UK is 100mw.

The A rx seems to max out at 255 never seen more even when the B has logged much higher.

Generaly getting frame losses of 20 or less on 10 min flights with every 4th or 5th logging much higher up to 86 frames lost worst case no holds, yet!

These high readings have also been seen following low ones even when the tx has not been turned of in between flights ie its still locked onto the same channels so no chance of having "picked" a noisy channel, the rx being reset in between.

As yet I've not had the confidence to fly the big extra with this kit after the initial high readings until I get some more experience and a definitive guidline as to what frame losses are acceptable/unacceptable the manual is vague to say the least.

Idealy the logger would record faes and frames vs time so we could see just how far apart the dropped frames are, could be my 86 were spread evenly over 10 mins in which case fine. Also seems the main rxs with half aerials seem to get more than twice the fades so might be good if they came out with full aerials like the remotes and even had only one rx in the main body with 3 remotes giving us much more options in the more difficult setups.

Finaly any one able to tell how long one can have the remote extension cable I'm aware that spektrum sell 36" as a max however it would be nice to try a remote rx say at the top of my extras fin away from any carbon.

cheers

Robin, if you look back in this thread a bit your will see a pic of my install in my comp arf mx2. Works great, not a single issue. I am using one short remote antenna on the side of the fuse next to the main rx, and a 18" long satellite rx back on the opposite side of the fuse.

[Robin]

Many thanks, missed that.
Any chance you could post some typical fades and frame losses with times please?
cheers
Robin

[Pale Rider]

What about mounting one of the satellite rx's on the outside of the fuse in a pipe tunnel ? (of course if using a pipe this wont work)---would that help in reception?

Flew my 35%er with the 9303 today. 360° range check yielded a maximum of like 13 fades on one rx, and only a handful on the remaining ones. Of course, zero frame losses and zero fades over the course of just over one minute.
First flight was about 5 minutes, and included some point rolls, hammerheads, snaps, loops, and a full circle out in front of me. Max fades on one antenna was like 27, all others were in the teens. I did have one lost frame, but zero holds. I think this is quite satisfactory! Plane felt smooooooooooth in the air, and totally locked in.
