Can some one tell me what will he choose and way?

I'm looking to replace my XP8103.

thanking you in anticipation

I'm interested in this too. Can someone tell me what the 10x will do that the 9303 won't (for our purposes) and vise-versa?

Thanks,

I don't know what the 9303 can do, but I can list some of the advanced features of my 10X that I find important:

Curve mixes
Multi-point adjustable throttle curve
One-touch dual elevators
Flight modes (i.e. ability to switch throws and exponentials on multiple controls with one switch)

I've programmed both for my Brio... If you were close enough living here I could link and transfer the settings. The 10X does it thruogh datasafe, which can be e-mailed. I had a about a hundred Brio sequence flights on the 9303 and severa hundred on the 10X.

They are both excellent, easy to program. The 10X I believe has a slightly softer, better expo curve. At least I can feel a difference in the expo resolution. Just my perception. Its the best of any radio I've flown.

The 10X also has built in rudder to aileron, rudder to elevator mix setup, which makes programming easier. It also has a dual elevator pre-setup in the wing menu. Again, very easy to setup.

The 9303 has P mixes that you program these independently. Not hard to do, very intuitive actually, but an extra step.

So between the two the 10X has the advantage. The 9303 is a tremendous radio though. Capability-wise they are equivalent for most pattern applications. I love the throttle curve on both of these radios.

Good luck with your decision.

To compare directly the 9303 vs 10X

The 9303 has just Dual rates...10X has triple rates standard.

The 9303 can get 3 rates for each control going to Flight modes, The 9303 has 3 Flight modes and the 10X is capable of 5.

The switch assignability of the Flight modes on the 10X has more choices for the switch location that the 9303.

The 9303 has a really cool feature of mating servo together and it renames them LElev and RElev. Or so on. This means you don't need to use matchboxes and mixing functions to "MATE" servos together.

The 10X has some more mixers in it 8 programmable vs. 6 mixers in the 9303. In the 9303 2 of these are multipoint mixers and the 10X has 3 that are multipoint mixers.

The 10X has a 10 model memory and with the DataSafe program it comes with the 10X by the way... its infinite as you can send model files to the a PC and then upload or download to and from the PC very easily. With DS Ultra you can even edit the 10X's program on the PC, also can compare and copy models and do everything from your PC as well as in the TX. The 9303 doesn't have this option as of yet if it will.

9303 has a 30model memory so its not really needed.

9ch vs 10ch is the obvious one.

9303 is capable of Heli-Airplanes-Sailplanes with built in functions and mixers for each type of model. Also the flight modes and options there change a bit for Sailplane is an example the FM's go to 5 for the Sailplane model. I'm mostly a Aircraft guy so I don't know all the features the heli guys and glider guys use. The 10X is either a Heli or Aircraft radio. The glider guys use the Airplane version.

The biggest thing I think that sets the 10X apart is the chassis. The 10X is a Magnesium case for the TX. Which is awesome, it is very durable and looks and feels great. The balance of the TX is very good in the hands. The 9303 is a plastic chassis so it’s not as durable. However it does have the same gimbals in it so flying feel is the same. 9303 is a little lighter weight to hold, but still has a very good feel in the hands with or without a neck strap. I have one 10X that I have been flying since about 99' and it still looks great. No discolor in the sun and even though it lives in a TX case the little bumps and bruises are less of a concern in the 10X.

The 10X also comes with an Aluminum TX carry case for protection. The 9303 you have to buy one separately.
The 10X has a touch screen that is very intuitive but the 9303 has the roller bar on the right of the screen which allows you to get where you want to go really quick as well as make changes to settings really fast too. The 10X has a code structure for its functions. Like Code 77 with take you directly to that function (F/S in this case) and you can make changes without scrolling through every function. Just enter the code and you are there. You learn this really quickly.

All in all both of these TX's will do anything we need in a pattern model and the even up to the 30-40% models 9303 and 10X both handle extremely well.

I love my 10X's and would not trade then for anything. But the 9303 is a little easier on the budget and gives much of the same features maybe not as extensive...but they are there. Also the 9303 has a couple things like servo MATE and the dual throttles build in that the 10X can do but its not as easy. On the 10X you have to use the Mixers to get the servos to MATE but the 9303 lets you do it without using up a mix. The 10X does have built in two elevator and two aileron servos so you can do this without the MATE function.

I personally feel that if you can afford the 10X it is an outstanding value and does the job with elegance and style. The 9303 is for a guy that wants a good radio that still do all the tasks but is not looking for a dedicated competition radio. I use my 10X for my competition models and just about everything else. This is slowly changing over to the 9303 for the fun models and keeping the 10X strictly for the competition models.

I've spent a lot of time around the Futaba 9Z (who in the pattern scene hasn't), and the only wish I had for the 10X is for the radio to balance when using the neckstrap. Apparently the 10X was designed before 3D modelling programs were invented, because the neck strap position is _way_ off. Built in tach would be handy, too.

BTW, one of my 10X's is for sale in the RCuniverse for sale area if anyone is interested. $450 for TX, module, crystal, charger, shipping.
