My flying buddies and I attended the Toledo Show on Friday. We met up with
Capt'n Jack and Jim Deck at the LSF booth (nice to see you up and around
Jim!) Karlton, Jim McCarthy (Jim Baggs) and lots of other great people
important to the soaring community. One of the interesting discussion I had
was with Skip Miller at the Airtronics booth. We talked about the new
servo's that Airtronics will be coming out with, and about programming the
Stylus to work with six servo wings and V-tails. I complained about the lack
ease to get V-tail differential and a six servo wing template in the Stylus,
and suggested that the Vision was a better radio for the new generation of
competitive TD ships.
After getting and ear full, Skip introduced me to Ron Koberg, President and
CEO of Airtronics. Ron appeared to be genuinely interested in meeting the
needs of the competitive sail plane flier (which I hope to be someday <VBG>).
Ron suggested that the soaring and radio user community get together and let
him know what we need from a radio. Ron gave me his card, and with his
blessing, said I could post his email address to both this exchange, and the
Radio Controlled Soaring Exchange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Now we have an outlet for "Gordy's Wish List". If enough of us take the time
to email Ron, maybe we can get some much needed upgrades to the Stylus Glider
Program. To make it easy, I will start the ball rolling with my wants/needs,
and address this email to The Airtronics Group, RCSE, and to Ron. All you
have to do is add your wishes to the list and forward it on to Ron.
Here's to a new, upgraded Glider Card,

Wish List:
1. Six Servo Wing Template (just like he Vision)
2. Simplified V-tail differential adjustments (Vision Style)
3. Flying Wing Template (to fly the new 2 Meter Zagi that will be out soon).
4. (add your own and send it on to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
