Status: offline 		Hello everyone,
Anybody using the RDS or SD-10 in Composite ARF's? Comp ARF's do contain to some degree of carbon-fiber and I'm wondering if there have been any experiences from Comp ARF pilots regarding signal loss with Airtronics 2.4 systems.

LA = Left Aileron, RA= Right Aileron. There is not a specific biplane setup, but you don't need one given the flexibility of this radio.

There are a lot of people who fly this radio and are using them in full carbon fiber gliders. You should have no problem at all.

Status: offline 		Since 2.4 appears to be bringing forth a rapid phasing in I'm inclined to consider Airtronics again(did I mention the price) For over 20 years I flew Airtronics exclusivly for reasons of price reliability and available servos AND its compatability with JR servos. I waited over a decade for Airtronics to improve on the old Module Series that I flew along with an up dated Championship Series both radios saw a lot of use and functioned perfectly. So I'm curious about this radio as to wether it is compatable with my JR digital servos???

Thanks to whoever figures out my question

Status: offline 		Fast Richard......

the SD-10G is 100% compatible with JR servos. I use Hitec and JR and have started to convert back to Airtronics servos with my latest airplane.............They all plug into the New 2.4 receivers with no issues. The reason I have started switching back is I have found "Hobby People" to be very easy to deal with and I remember the excellent quality of Sanwa / Airtronics stuff from 20 years ago as you did. JR has been good to me for 20 years but the 9303 and the 12X are dated and overpriced. JR will have to get back into the game sooner or later but for now the SD-10G is head and shoulders above the competition with faster speed, ease of programming, more functions and a better price. Good luck.

Status: offline 		In my experience use digitals with the 10 RX and you are good to go. I cant use any 645 hitecs with the 10 channel, thats how I found out about the "digitals only" with the 10 channel RXs. Eventually they ( Hitec 600 series) will buzz at their end points and neutral if they dont when you first hook them up to a 10 channel. The speed is too much for them. I have since gotten a lot of the 7 channel RXs for my sport planes.

SD-10G Rocks!

Status: offline 		The RDS8000 and the SD10G are the best radios I have ever flown. It is my beleife that the reason you don't see any issues or problems reported in thse forums is that there just are none to report, hence people are out enjlying them! Any comments on this?

I love my RDS8000 and My SD10G.

Status: offline 		Hi,
I finally got the SD10G too. Awesome Tx! It´s amazing how versatile the SD10 actually is.

There is another chap who would like to know how to operate the throttle stick inversely (like in some warplanes and other old civil aircraft). Thus, idle is at high throttle stick position, full throttle at the down stick position. I suggested useing the throttle curve menu and changing the values there. Or is there anothe way to change idle/full throttle position without abandon the idle cut off function?

The throttle curve idea is worth a try, however the trim woulds still be opposite to the throttle stick movement.

I haven't tried it yet, but i'm wondering if the calibration routine would accept moving the stick down instead of up when it asks you to move the stick to max throttle.

Just a thought.

Status: offline 		metalmetal67, thanks, I do`nt have aSD- 10 yet. All what I would need is Throttlle REV for the left hand stick ( mode 2). Futaba Radios have Throttle REV in there programming, but I`d like the Airtronics. With my older radios, it was`nt a problem, I changed only the potentiometer wireing for throttle and throttle trimm, but the SD-10 has digital trimm and all other throttle fuktions. I think Pippin has the same problem.

Status: offline 		Pippin, Yes, like I know, only Futaba has it with programming. What I need is: left stick forward - throttle on idle and trim, backward - full throttle. In the Surface Menu Page 62 it shows only Servo Reversing, not the complete throttle function reversing.

Status: offline 		Cirrenter, on page 77 is explained how to change the throttle curve. You can change the I & O values from "+" to "-" and vice versa. Currently, I am away on business. So I can not check the resulte myself. Maybe, the resulte is just the same as using servo reverse. Is there anyone who could just try the trick with throttle curve?
