Eli showed me the basics of setup and I’ve been able to slowly explore some of the features.  I like the rolling selector for navigation along with the large LCD display. It will be awhile before I use more than 7 channels and require complex mixing, in the meantime I’m just using the basics such as D/R and expo, dual ailerons, and a couple simple mixes. I have not really played with the PC data transfer much although I have been able to backup model definitions. So far so good!

So today is my b-day and yesterday my gift to myself arrived from Todd over at www.toddsmodels.com – a JR X9303 radio + goodies!

Following the JR naming convention this is a (9) channel, (30) model memory, (3) type TX – air / heli and sailplane. This is effectively the XP9303 w/integrated Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM/DSM2 technology. It’s been on the market since approx. late ’07 if I recall correctly and is regarded as a highly flexible radio. It came bundled with a JR R921 receiver.

I also picked up the USB interface & PC software, you’re able to backup model definitions and theoretically fully configure a model via the GUI then commit it to the radio. Naturally I had to get a neckstrap and the dual TX case from JR as well – the same one Eli uses.

I’ve unpacked it and charged the TX battery overnight, and hope to start playing with it this afternoon. More to come! Yippe! The bling Goodies RX
