My current strategy is to upgrade to a Stylus,
as the lesser of many evils, although from what
I understand, the Stylus doesn't handle elevon
mixes with full sailplane mixes at the same time.
Bummer, dude.
Oh, sure, in the back of my mind, I'm wondering if
for the money I shouldn't try to get a MPX 3030
(which isn't out yet, right?) or a 8103, or a Futaba.
But not enough comparative data.
Okay, why did I decide I'd outgrown the 783.
Flaps and Camber.
I get my flaps setup, but then its a drag to set it
up for camber and reflex settings, as I have to use
some sort of trim adjust on my flaps, which blends
and confuses everything.
This is why I want sliders, and more brain power in my
transmitter. I want assignable switches so I can switch
in more mixes in places that make sense to me for the
plane at the time.
One thing I really don't like about the 783 that I suspect
may still be in the 8103 is that the flap mixes tend to
not give you complete control over the full throw of the
servo in any way that makes sense at all. There's the
reflex/land switch, the Pot.6 trim dial and the
spoiler/throttle lever, and they interact hideously.
I know there must be something better.
Yes, I want to buy an Aerofoam 48" flying wing sometime
by summer. Should I get two memory cards for my Stylus?
One for slopers and one for full house ships?
Right now my two slopers are a Dominator and a Blade,
and they are 'full house' slopers, so no problem there,
but I want it all and I want it now. Just kidding.
(sort of).
Anything that can clear up these issues about the 8103 and
hopefully the Futaba 8Ch or 10Ch line would be helpful.
I'm really getting mixed messages about the Futaba.
"Its cheap, but it has everything you could want, but
its a drag to program, and everyone's used to something
else."
Does it have sliders? Assignable switches?
Serious smarts, or is it just pretty good for the money?
We've compared the 8103 to the Stylus.
Can someone compare the 8103 to the Futaba 8UAF?
Thanks,
Paul
