Why doesn't JR662 have proportional flap knob?
 

So I can only set flaps for one single position? What if you want approach/departure and landings settings like used in the big boys?

I am really surprised there is no proportional channel on this radio.

I suppose that if they put lots of useful features in the entry level radios, then noone would buy the more expensive models.

I tend to the cynical side, so that may not be the real reason. The only ones that would really know are JR themselves.

Yup, I've got the same problem with my JR XF631.

Didn't really think about it until sometime after I got the radio.

If I'd thought about it in advance, I probably would've got the Futaba 6AS instead for the same money :stupid:

You could try asking in the JR support forum if the switch can be swapped out for a dial.......

Nice work Tig.

I still can't understand why a radio as good as the JR662 doesn't have a proportional channel...especially given that my Futaba 6YG has one and is only 170.00 bucks. The 631 I can understand but not the 662.

scoooose me! that 631 cost over 200 bucks 18 months ago.. :D


Price has probably dropped a bit since they've brought out other radios....


Still no excuse though since Futaba and others provide a rotary knob for flaps for the same price

Not sure about the digital rocker switches they provide on the 378 either, I might have to look into that.....
