The time has come to trade-up my entry level radio for a little more advanced one.
Hell, why not just go all-out and buy a radio that I won't have to upgrade for a long time.
Radios are not like Computers, they don't need to be faster or have more memory and they don't need to
be upgraded every 6 months. But they do need more channels. I think 8 channels is more than I'll ever need and with a 10 model memory
I'll be flying with this radio for a VERY long time. And with the support for PCM and Digital Servos. I
don't think I'll ever need another one. The JR XP8103 comes with full support for Airplanes, Helicopters and
Gliders. I don't think I'll ever be flying gliders but Helis is something I'll definitely be getting into
in the beginning of 2004. The XP8103 comes with a big matrix LCD screen gives visual feedback
on all mission critical function, it even has a count-down timer to let you know when you're just about out of fuel.
With 3 pots I can easily mount cameras on my planes and even pan and tilt them from the ground.
I got a great deal on this radio because I traded in my previous one. And since I only need the transmitter. I didn't
have to pay for the extra crystals, servos, receiver, battery or charger.
The JR XP8103 is packed with tons of features:
- 10-model memory
- Model reset
- Dual Pulse Code Modulation (S-PCM, Z-PCM, FM)
- Data transfer capabilities
- Compatible with JR's DataSafe PC Interface
- Dual rate on aileron, elevator and rudder w/graphic display
- Exponential on aileron, elevator and rudder w/graphic display
- Reversing on all 8 channels
- Travel adjust on all 8 channels
- Fail-safe, PCM modes only
- Trainer function with assignable channels to be transferred to the trainee
- Servo positions graphically depicted on LCD Screen
- Heli 5-point curve adjustment!!
