another home run for JR Quique Somenzini joins Team JR http://www.horizonhobby.com/articles/1137.asp?tag=har What do you think about this? Jay

wgeffon -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/2/2002 10:53:48 PM)
Wow. Very cool.

mups53 -> Can't wait to brag about this (4/2/2002 11:07:56 PM)
Most of the guys who I fly pattern with in Chicago use Futaba. I have the JR 10X and they look down on me. I love this kind of stuff cause I really beleive I've got the better radio.JR doesn't stand for Junk radio but Just right!!!

Jemo -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/2/2002 11:20:43 PM)
mups53; If anybody looks down on a JR 10X, They sure don't know what they are looking at. ;)

Jay [/QUOTE] I think he was offered a sponsership and he took it. It's just business and I wouldn't read too much into it. You think Michael Jordon only wore Nike sneakers and Tiger Woods actually drives a Buick... Cheers! Galen

Chris 540 -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 12:24:31 AM)
Oh well...we still got Christophe and Jason!

Chris 540 -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 12:25:16 AM)
...and Chip and many, many more...

stevezero -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 12:27:21 AM)
Hmmmm, maybe I should go over to his house and ask him if he would give me all his "old" Futaba gear. :D

robert -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 1:27:30 AM)
Best of all, you Futaba guys still have ME!!! I don't really mind, cause when you look at the 10X and the 9ZAP, they look very similar, and basically have the same functions.

matlok -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 1:43:34 AM)
Next thing you know he'll start flying DA's.....

robert -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 1:47:51 AM)
I'll set up a poll on radios now.....

Johnny_Rebel -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 2:38:09 AM)
JR sux

Jemo -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 3:10:00 AM)
Both JR and Futaba are great radios. You couldn't go wrong buying either one. Quique, Jason, Christophe, etc. will kick ass with a basic 4 ch. radio, no matter what brand it is.

mups53 -> Club guy (4/3/2002 3:44:27 AM)
Hey Reb you sound just like the guys in my club. I know that it's a dumb argument but it's kind of fun. Both radios work great it's just that JR digital servos are superior to Futabas.

SwampFlier-RCU -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 3:44:38 AM)
I believe Quique, Chip, Christophe etc... would kick most our arses silly even witha a trainer and a basic 4 channel radio :o Of course Quique's presence will boost JR's sales as Jordan's does for NIke (or the whole NBA for that matter).. to them is a financial decision (i.e. how many bucks do i get for joning JR, Nike, Ferrari, etc) For most of us It depends on the budget and availability than the true "Advantages" of the radio.... Best Regards, patrick

Johnny_Rebel -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 3:49:52 AM)
the last thing I would do is fly my plane with a "jr" radio

robert -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 3:59:24 AM)
Its not the radio that flies the plane, its you. Thats why I hate it when everyone wastes money getting a new F3A plane every year, when they haven't gotten used to the one they are currently using. Same with radios, get one and stick to it. I heard someone who switched from Futaba to JR say that since he switched, he feels much more a part of the plane. Total bull, its not the radio flying the plane, its the pilot!

Johnny_Rebel -> It's not really the pilot (4/3/2002 4:09:18 AM)
The radio is what it's all about- think about it, the radio really is flying the plane, we're just moving the sticks. So the radio is more important than you think there buddy. If you want to keep using "JR" then thats fine.

mups53 -> All depends (4/3/2002 4:16:29 AM)
If you had an old Logitrol or Orbit and you replaced it with a new JR 10X it would make you a better pilot. If you switched from a Zap to a JR10X I agree with you. Great pilots make the difference not the radios,but I still say that Digital servos will make a big difference in your flight quality. Really I bought the JR10X because of brand loyalty and cost. It simply was considerably cheaper than the Futaba Zap. This only because the JR comes with 4 Digital servos. One other thing is that the 10X has one more channel. It's one better!! (Spinal Tap). :rolleyes:

So the radio is more important than you think there buddy. If you want to keep using "JR" then thats fine. [/QUOTE] Yeah but can you tell the radio to fly a 3/4 roll, sit back, and watch a perfect 3/4 roll every time? No, YOU have to move the sticks just enough, then make adjustments. Sure your telling the radio what to tell the plane, but its still not flying the plane. If you tell it to move, it moves, if you don't it won't. Programmability will also help alot, with things such as mixes and the lot, but again, at the end of the day, its YOU who pushes the switch, and has to time it all perfectly. My friend was telling me on how once, people would fly top F3A with Attack 4 radios, and they were as good as pilots are to-day! I also heard about a special curve on the radio, which will make you fly more accuratly, but am not sure. I agree that it might improve you slightly. When I got the WC2, it improved slightly, cause I programmed the switches to where I like them, and so was alot more comfortable. Also, Digi servos will improve your flying, simply because they are have better specifications which stop/start faster and more accurately, with a better resolution. Regards, Robert. P.S. I fly Futaba!

"It's not really the pilot (post # 19) The radio is what it's all about- think about it, the radio really is flying the plane, we're just moving the sticks. So the radio is more important than you think there buddy. If you want to keep using "JR" then thats fine." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Johnny_Rebel: The next time you fly, try not to move the sticks and see how well your radio does. :-) If someone were loaded up with A particular brand radio, recievers etc., they would be nuts to switch all that equipment, just because someone tells them another brand is better. I fly JR because thats what I have the most money invested in, but I would be flying Futaba if the situation were reversed. Like I said earlier, They are both GREAT RADIOS.

robert -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 4:39:26 AM)
Exactly. If I had been trained on JR, I'd probably be using the 10X instead.

matlok -> Quique Somenzini joins Team JR (4/3/2002 4:42:18 AM)
ditto.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by mups53 but I still say that Digital servos will make a big difference in your flight quality. [/QUOTE] Thats a good one :) Unless you are placing extreme loads on your surfaces at small deflections they dont do anything better than a good coreless does. Yes I have some digitals, but only because I needed servos and though if I am going to drop money I will drop a couple bucks more for the digitals cause I am a techno freak. Oh and they are Futaba ;)
