Status: offline 		Thanks alot Mike. I'm looking forward to getting my RDS... Where I ordered it, They say it should be in stock on Sat 15 Dec.
I'm sorry to keep bugging you, but you seem extremely knowledgeable on the subject, sssooooo here goes again. On the RDS8000 can you slave channels 7 or 8 to the throttle for twin engine application? and if so, can each throttle channels trim and end points be adjusted separately? and when set can the throttle trim effect both channels???? I currently fly twins with a Y harness.

Thanks again, Skip D

And I think Hobbypeople would be a better source....you know since they own Airtronics.

Don't expect to see any until Jan. at the earliest.

Hi Mike,
You never answered the question from Howard about expo and dual rate being missing in airplane mode on the 8000. This function has been missing since the Infinity era. The Stlylus is the only one with this feature now. Even the cheapest JR and Futaba systems have this feature. That is why I left Airtronics and went with JR.


Dual Rate on RD8000 is no problem .
You should mix ruuder --> rudder on 50% on one of the c-mix swithes.
Just set the value you want for the low rates .
Works great .

No expo on plane mode .

Status: online 		Just so you know, Sanwa/Airtronics NEVER published a firm date for shipping the radio. The December date that some dealers published was NEVER confirmed or announced by Airtronics. Frankly, the February date is wrong too. Sanwa wants the radio stocked here much more quickly than that.

Just so you know, the December date comes from an internal discussion about when pre-production preparation would be done (around Dec 1) and that if the final production testing of the radio would start around Dec 15. Somebody entered that date internally by mistake. Production testing is when Sanwa actually turns on production, makes 50 to 100 sets, and then tests and dissects them to ensure all of the steps of assembly go correctly. I also get one of these to do some final testing on our part to make sure we approve the radio as well. THEN then turn on production.

I will be talking to Global sales and our buyers to find out why that date was ever even entered into the system.

For those of you who are obviously anxious to get the radio (thank you for you enthusiasm!) I promise I will have final and official information about a release date as soon as I can. I could throw out my best estimate here but until Production Testing is completely done, I will not know for sure, and thus, I will NOT be posting any dates.

Regardles of any time-schedule, Sanwa/Airtronics will NOT release the radio until it has 100% passed all tests. "Schedules/Dates" interest me much less than reliability, performance, and quality. I'm sure you all would agree.

I guess there's always line-control....although my little 1/3 Cub might be kinda' hard to fly that way...

No, I think I'll keep it... turning in circles makes me dizzy (well.. dizzier than I already am...)
