Which Radio

<< < (2/7) > >>

Ron:
Hi Chris and Fred,

Thanks for the ideas.

Yes I guess there are as many radios as there are modelers. Well nearly.
Funnily enough, I had been gradually steering towards the Cockpit, and then the evo9.
I like the idea of assigning any control to any function and any channel.

As to 2.4GHz, nope. Not for me.
Apart from the undecided European regs, there are too many potential problems.
I get my broadband via a radio link from Mt.Gabriel, about 9k away as the RF flies.
And it used to be on 2.4Gig.
However, there were so many interference problems, despite the highly directional antenna, that the guys had to change it to 5.3GHz.
Been fine ever since.

Hey Fred!
What's all this 'Sold Out' on EasyGliders.
I was going for one of those to get me away from X-Plane and into the air  :(

Cheers All,
Ron

PS. When's the next 'fly-in'?

Fred:
Hi Ron,
Part of the new EU legislation, is because of this, the 2.4ghz is now almost saturated ! You can switch between 200 frequencies, but if the 200 frequencies are already taken, back to square 1 !
But poor modelers like us are the least of there problems !
Beside this, technically, I'm far from going 2.4ghz ! Might be fine for planes and helis, but us, gliders, we fly sometimes out of sight, and sometimes, beind obstacles (like landing out of sight down the slope, beind tree lines...) and I like keeping the control !  :P

For the Easygliders, very popular !
Back in stock soon, with some very good news on the Multiplex front !   :D  :D
We can put one aside for you when they are back if you want  :D

Fred:
OOppss, missed one question !
Next Fly-in is the 20th, in Cork  :D

After that, that's the ISR fly-in, the 10 and 11th of May at Mt Leinster with Europeans pilots  :D
Details are here : http://www.gliderireland.net/isrmay08.htm

Ron:
Hi Fred,

Yes please. If you could put an EasyGlider aside for me that would be good. Just the glider, not going for electric, just as long as it's got spoilers/flaps.

Where is the Cork meet?

It would be good to make it to the Mt.Leinster fly-in too. You never know, I might just have something to actually fly by then :o
Is there anywhere to stay in that area, just in case I can make both days?

Fred:
Hi Ron,
No problem, we'll keep an easyglider for you.
But the easyglider don't have flpas.. just ailerons  :?:  Is that ok ?

Otherwise, we have the club easyglider that you can use, I'll bring it during the fly-in just in case !

For the Cork Glide-in, the meeting is at Noel Barrett's Shop on Washington street at 9am (if I'm right... :?: )

For the ISR Fly-in, I'll let you know where we are staying with the lads coming from abroad, more than happy if you can join us ! (I'll stay for the night too...I can predict an headache the next morning !  :wink:   :P )
