FG EXCLUSIVE: All New JR 12X & 9303 2.4GHZ!

[notorious_benny]

Just an addition, its a bit like changing rates for different manouvres with a switch, without having to flick the switch, I was a bit dubious on how well it would work when first told about the idea, but having flown a model set up this way, if your not of TOC level ability, this will give you an edge over the competition, particuarly in Advanced and Unlimited.

I believe you can do this on a 10X with some intricate programming.
I know guys who do this with their Futaba systems and as Not Benny says, its a great way of doing it.

[notorious_benny]

You can do it to some extent on the 10x but not nearly as neatly or with as many options.
These guys have different rates set depending on if the snap is negative, positive upline, downline or straight and level.
Having said that the trigger must be elevator if they are changing rates dependant on positive and negative. Like I said sounds complex, but it does work and contrary to what I initially thought dosnt affect the way the model flies the rest of the sequence.

I've seen condition mixes set up on the 10X, basically curves where the amount of movement of a surface affects the mix on another. Complicated to do, but it's possible.

I don't bother with that. I just fly my snaps with my thumbs. I really can't see the advantage of such a complicated setup for somethign as simple as a snap.

I used the snap button all the time. I programmed spoilerons into it. Makes great walls and slows the plane down fast after you land.

Also I hope those buttons are programmable......from what I saw, Aux 2 is where the flap switch used to be and the gear switch is where Aux 2 used to be.

Not hard at all just replace a few printed circuit boards you're keeping all the same switches, lcd, case, battery, etc.

The question is will they do it? I think we know the answer to that

I knew I shoulda waited to before I pulled the trigger on the DX7. DOH!

I bet we are gonna generate another HUGE ammount flow of people, and this time the bandwith bill will be sent to JR We live in awesome times, unfortunatley, our pocket books dont like these times

Hey guys: There is another one lurking in the obscure shadows also. Nomadio, They are working on a two model line that they are very tight lipped about. Maybe you guys that are going to toledo will get to see the new radios!

[madmax]

Heya Crew,

I think this thread got burried in all the Toledo coverage, but this was one of the biggest announcements of the show -- Here are the official shots of the 12x in case you missed 'em.

Enjoy, MD

I placed a pre order at Donald's the Minute the list was started. They have been showing 5/10 on delivery. I E mailed Donald's yesterday and they said the 5/10 date was still good.. I'm not sure if the first shipment was sold out

Time will tell they have 21 days..
