JR X2610

haydenc:
Cant find a Radio Gear section so I will post here.

Santy has decided I am getting a CMPro Discus CS.  
He thinks my skill level has advanced enough to handle such a beautiful machine.

I myself, am thinking of upgrading my transmitter. I have a JR Apex 5.
It works but is very basic.
Thinking of getting a JR X2610 so I can try programming mixing of control inputs and if I understand correctly getting the ailerons to droop or rise together to work as air brakes.

First
Do I have the concepts wrong?

then
Would I be making the right move getting this transmitter. Does anyone have good or bad things to say about the JR 2610.
Many Thanks
Cha

joe:
Hiya Cha.
Yeah you can droop the ailerons together (flaperons) or raise them together (spoilerons) to work as brakes. You will need to mix in some elevator to compensate as well.

I use a Graupner MC 19 myself and am very happy with it. Not familiar with JR radios. Always thought they looked the nicest though.

My take on radios is. If you are committed to the hobby and you think you will be flying for years to come then, buy the best radio you can. You probably don't want to spend a good few hundred on a radio but, it will grow with you and handle all your needs in years to come.

haydenc:
Thanks Joe.

So the modifying of the standard control inputs works anyhow. Thats a plus. At least I am thinking  the right way.
I suppose I should get a book on the basics and learn a a bit of tech stuff.
Any suggestions on a good book.

Now you have me thinking I should spend more money and get the JR2720 transmitter.

Thanks again
Cha

Hi Cha,

I think the JR2720 is also the Graupner MX12 ! ( Graupner don't make radios anymore... JR do that for them (Graupner/JR) so all Graupner radio owners have a JR radio in fact).

You can have a look at the manual here : http://www.instructionsmanuals.com/u2/pdf/radio_control/Graupner-MX12-en.pdf

And other radios here : http://www.instructionsmanuals.com/lista-45-en-Radio+control.htm

I don't know of any books about radios.. They don't do that anymore, but that use to be the case years ago. You might find some online, but not for "modern" radios, at least that I am aware of  :?: The best thing, is to study the manual. For the JR/Graupner ones, you have lots of examples and so on about programing, but the best, as always, will be to practice on a model (in front of the TV  :D )

I agree on what Joe say on top... Invest once in a good radio ! If you are commited to the hobby, that's the best thing you will do !
I have my MC18 for years (at least 10 now...) and still going strong.. Costed a lot at the time, but I don't regret it !  :D

Fred:
I have created a radio section !
Good idea to have one, can be usefull !  :D
