Gentlemen, I have the sailplane version, and as it comes out of the box. there are two 3 position switches on the top face of the radio Tx. One is directly above the left stick and the other is directly above the right stick. I chose to swap locations of the Left 3 position switch over to the far left top face where one of the dual rate switches is located. I use the 3 position switch for three different flight modes and don't want to fumble my fingers around the flap/spoiler stick while looking up at my glider. It is an easy swap to make. My friend also has a sailplane version and is OK with switch locations as it comes out of the box. Marc Gellart has the helicopter version which has a 3 position switch located on the upper top left corner like a Stylus or Vision. He says it was easy for him to program to his desired functions. We all like our JR 9303's very much. Coming from Airtronics radios, I did have a learning curve to get through, but it's worth learning for me. I think if you are jumping up from one of the earlier JR Radio versions, you will be familiar with the programming language and methods. Should be able to adapt you knowledge easily. You can't get any better field support then Horizon Hobbies offers. They have dedicated sailplane flyers employed who travel to many events and they will bend over backwards to meet your needs. They also support a number glider events each year. How can it get any better then that?? It's a no brainer. Go with JR and reap all the benefits.
