[RCSE] Price of DLG's

2007-11-27 Thread Marc Gellart
On RCGroups tonight I saw something that I thought I would never see for sale, a $1K DLG, it is a Vandal fullhouse ship with RADS. Be the first to admit that I have spent my fair share on ships, but a DLG for $1000? That environment is way too tough on airframes for me to toss that amount up

-I went with the Onyx Jw because I thought it performed about like a Supra - Jack What I find interesting is that the Supra is considered the 'bench mark' and then there are the others...cheaper, but with some feature that makes them...better? worth more? almost as good for the cost? There are

Or perhaps it's because I've flown both and could see no real difference... except one comes with all the radio stuff for the same price as the other airframe. I'm spending the difference on a winch... :p And besides, I'm on the list for something better. Hi Gordy... Jack -- schrederman

Not to take anything away from the awesome fun that I have had flying MOM in the midwest, the MOM itself may not be the only reason that interest has improved. One of the classic studies in industrial management is an experiment with factory workers where lighting was slowly improved and an

I bought a bunch of 1/16 X 4 X 48 and some 1/20 in the same large dimensions there a couple of weeks ago. I always got good wood there... hope they come back. Jack -- schrederman schrederman's Profile:

[RCSE] So, having read the 2.4 Articles in this Month's RCSD, What's your 2.4 opinion?

I really appreciated the information on Advanced Range Testing. While I've had mostly good luck (yes - it really is 'luck') with 72MHz, the expense and horror stories of 2.4 have kept me away. With this article, a realistic analysis process seems possible which would address the reception

[RCSE] Spektrum and 9303

I'm sure its been discussed elsewhere, but can someone describe the differences in performance that you can expect with the JR 9303 2.4 transmitter and a JR 9303 transmitter equipped with the Spektrum Module system. (Both using the AR 9000) Don -- dharban

9303 2.4 vs module will get you model match. E.g. The model configuration will be matched to the RX. So you can't mismatch the program with the model. 9303 2.4 sends updates to the servos more frequently. You might notice this as faster response. Some pilots have added some additional

I saw that too, and I have to admit I just don't get it. Why so much for the Vandal? On Nov 27, 2007 7:06 PM, Marc Gellart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On RCGroups tonight I saw something that I thought I would never see for sale, a $1K DLG, it is a Vandal fullhouse ship with RADS. Be the first

Well, I honestly think that Geoff Jones simply does not want to work for free. I think that the $1000 comes with servos and stuff too. If that makes a difference. For the same price, I have an Aspirin (fully molded and designed by Andreas Herrig) Marc, I agree...a tough environment to be sure. I

Marc, Even more amazing is the fact it took no time at all to sale. Of course if you take into consideration that the plane was completely ready to fly and basically brand new, most of the top line competitive planes out there are nearly the same price by the time you buy the air frame, the
