I sent MinnFlyer to the Toledo Weak Signals Expo and he got this footage of the SD-6G for me:

Our friends at Model Airplane News are reporting a bit of additional information:
"Airtronics SD-6G The new Airtronics SD-6G is an affordable computer 6 channel radio with many advanced functions making it suitable for aircraft and helicopters. CCPM mixing, gyro switch, and 3 flight modes make it perfect for sport gas and advanced electric helis. In aircraft mode, we also have 3 flight modes and advanced wing templates and programmable mixing. This is a 2.4GHz radio of course and it is compatible with all of the very affordable FHSS1 Airtronics receivers. The SD-6G 2.4GHz is a full range, affordable, computer radio. Available Summer 2010 Item No 90406 Price, Approx $180." They also have a picture of it with the Airtronics branding and the LCD screen activated: |
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
There hasn't been much new information released on the SD-6G lately. Out of curiosity, I went poking around at www.sanwa-denshi.co.jp and found out a few things using Google translation:
-The SD-6G will have 8 character model naming -The SD-6G will offer dual rates and expo on RU as well as AI and EL -The SD-6G will use 6 "AA" batteries instead of a standard transmitter pack -The SD-6G will offer graphic display of its 5 point throttle curves and 5 point pitch curves -The SD-6G will support nine different kinds of swash plate I would have preferred a standard transmitter pack battery myself, but perhaps it can fit a 2S LiPo or the NiMH pack from the SD-10G. Overall, the SD-6G is shaping up as a really strong offering at $179.99. Hopefully "Summer 2010" doesn't mean September 20th and we'll see these in the near future. One last note - if any of this information turns out to be incorrect, it's Google Translation's fault and not mine! :D 厳しいフライト環境へのニーズに対 した、ヘリ/飛行機用プ*ポ。 To address the needs of demanding flight environment, helicopter / airplane for radio.

RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
The SD-6G is finally up on Hobby People's web site for your pre-ordering pleasure, albeit at a $199.99 price tag:
http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/751660.asp Hobby People is currently showing a street date of August 16, 2010 for the radio, but that can certainly slide to a later date easily enough. It's nice to see that rechargable batteries and the wall charger will be included. http://graphics.hobbypeople.net/gallery/751660.jpg Key Features: 10-Model Memory Advanced Airplane and Heli Software 3 Flight Modes (Heli and Air) P-Mixes 3-Axis Dual Rate and Expo 5-Point Throttle Curve (Heli and Air) Gyro Switch (Heli) Advanced Swashplate CCPM Mix (2 and 3 sx) Advanced Swashplate Leveling (Heli) Servo Monitor Throttle/Engine Cut Switch Trainer Compatible with SD-5G and SD-10G Adjustable Gimbal Spring Tension Advanced Aircraft Mixes Direct Select – Model Select Buttons Program Features (Common for Both Heli and Air): Model Naming Model Select Model "Direct Select" Data Reset Data Copy Trainer System (Compatible with SD-5G/10G) Throttle Cut Wing/Swash Type Dual Rates (3 axis) (Common or Individual for Flight Modes) Exponential (3 axis) (Common or Individual for Flight Modes) 3 Flight Modes Individual or Common Trims Program Mixes (2) Servo Reverse Sub Trim EPA Servo Monitor Stop Watch Airplane Functions: Wing Type 5-Point Throttle Curve Aileron Differential Flaperon Mix Flap-Elevator Mix Dual Elevator Mix Ailvator V-Tail Delta Program Mixes (2) (Note: Curves, D/R, EPA, All Mixes can be individual for Flight Modes) Helicopter Functions CCPM/Swash Type (2 and 3 servo swash plates) 5-Point Throttle Curve 5-Point Pitch Curve Revo-Mix Gyro Control EPA for Individual Swash Servo (swash leveling) 3-Axis EPA post-mix Swash Mix Control Throttle Trim Inhibit for Aerobatic Flight Mode Program Mixes (2) (Note: Curves, Gyro, D/R, EPA, All Mixes can be individual for Flight Modes) RX-600 We've paired the SD-6G with the spectacular small-size full-range RX600 6-channel receiver. This receiver is compatible with all Sanwa 2.4GHz aircraft radios. It uses only two little antennas on extensions, so you can place them in the best spot for full-range performance. And at a weight of under 12 grams with case, it'll fit in just about every application. But, if it doesn't, Airtronics offers a wide selection of receivers from 5 gram 6-channel park flyer receivers to affordable 5-channel full-range receivers, Airtronics has the right receiver for your application. Specifications: 6-channel operation with RX600 receiver FHSS-1 Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum 2.4GHz band Programming Features: Aircraft AND Helicopter 10-Model Memory Mode 2 TX Battery: 6 AA 1200mAh Ni-MH Includes: SD-6G Transmitter RX600 Full-Range Receiver 6 AA's (1200mAh Ni-MH Rechargable) Overnight Dual-Output Charger Detailed Instruction Manual 1-Year Warranty |
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
Hobby People is showing the SD-6G as currently in stock and available for shipping as of today.

RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
Also note the manual is available for download at airtronics.net
I'm sure there will be a lot of tech questions. The manual is very informative. |
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
Mike
Is the SD-6G user changeable to Mode 1? I fly mode 1. I did this change myself on my SD-10G without any drama. |
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
I do not know about the agent there, but here, we will have to carry a mode 1 and mode 2 version because it is not user switchable. Both the computer and the physical sticks take quite a bit of work to change between the two modes.

RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
I had the SD-10G, so I got the 6G for my wife...
The only thing I don't like is no option for the batteries. It takes 6 AA batteries and come with NiMH 1200mAh... Will I be able to charge this radio from my Triton2EQ? I don't want to be stuck with a slow charge walwart.... |
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
Yes, you can use the field charger as long as you keep the charge rate under 1 amp. Also, those batteries will last more than a day of flying. Fully charged you'll get 4-5 hours of use.
|
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
I feel much better now...
I typically have never charged higher than 600mAh through any Tx...So I should be good... |
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
We have flown a lot with this setup. Gone weeks without recharging. We're using the same stock charger and those same cells in the SD-5G in little park flyer Cessna 310B we pass around at our club. The TX almost NEVER gets charged the day before we fly. (No one really ever remembers to do it.) It's always fine. Unlike the days of 72, 2.4GHz radios sip power in comparison (unless they have a giganto color back lit screen the size of Miami...).
|
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
So this comes with 6 rechargable batts that equal 1200mah and last 4-5 hours of flying? Also am I reading wrong or does the price also include a rx pack? and you can use a quick charger as long as you keep it to 1 amp or under?
|
RE: Sanwa/Aitronics SD-6G Unofficial Thread
1. TX battery included only, RX battery is NOT included.
2. TX battery can be field charged, but must be under 1 amp. 3. Included charger is a dual charger that will charge the TX 6 cell pack and a typical 4-5 cell rx pack at the same time. 4. TX batteries are Hi-Energy cells and will provide very good run time per charge. |
