U Bob Underwood U q Ul T7 t FOR THE NEWCOMER interested RC difficult decisions the learning process selecting radio system Lets run through bunch questions Should buy used system working tight budget buying used system possible solution careful Over years have gone through number changes dealing radio spectrum usage recent occurred within last five years moved wideband equipment present narrowband format So-o-o beyond making certain used find good condition important determine whether can feel comfortable using fear interference Ask following questions about system 1 old its five years old find out transmitter narrowbanded may cany gold RICMA AMA sticker stickera parallelogram shape roughly 3/ x 1 1/2means meets narrowband specifications presence gold sticker does necessarily mean receiver narrowband 2 Have batteries kept charged New batteries could easily add up cost roughly equal half cost new set 3 legal frequency set 72080 72 160 7224072320 72400 72960 75640 MHz cannot legally operated United States also means set probably least eight years old frequencies listed became illegal use 1987 Besides being illegal frequencies assigned variety higher-powered commercial users case old-style wideband transmitters become illegal March 1998 4 Has crashed Perhaps question should often 5 Has serviced frequently Please understand non-nanowband system may problem long operates legal frequency However need check see rules flying site youll using allow 50 frequencies 72 MHz frequencies answer yes older system may allowed will flying near metropolitan area will operating high risk

will probably better off set has least four channels operation may long before would like another channel two auxiliary functions flaps retracts etc Radio channel functions like engine horsepower cant use what dont have trying sell what have get costly What transmitter mode should buy Transmitters generally come three different modes designated mode mode II two control sticks single-stick largest number sets far sold mode II configuration will find elevator aileron right stick rudder throttle left mode elevator aileron separate sticks purpose minimize interaction between two since ones primarily used flight single-stick type three surface controls elevator aileron rudder stick throttle slide-type switch side transmitter case Which three right deciding factor could easily availability Single-stick equipment generally found upper price range limited numbers Youll probably have order like manner mode will harder locate key factor however finding someone help learn fly single stick mode Yes instructors can make transition mode another remember flying model like operating automobile pinch its old reflex takes over instructor forced teach drive gave him car brake accelerator reversed left right might make exciting session instructor drives Check out availability equipment instructors Another factor may What modulation fonn should buy going technical discussion forms modulation will find very strong preferences field regarding whether should buy AM EN/I PCM whatever As sets progress price tend move AM FM forth implication clearly becomes form signal modulation better another often better another consideration centers around freedom interference general purposes what looking good solid radio link between transmitter hands receiver model can achieved modulation forms once listened discussion between representatives two major radio manufacturers debated virtues fall-safe expensive systems competition flier didnt want model go control preset case interference since hoped control would regained quickly enough prevent messing up maneuver sport flier wanted safety factor preset throttle control surface neutralizing final analysis agreed event severe interference fancy stuff simply let crash gracefully day age virtually systems other very inexpensive use type receiver known dual conversion important factors generally used manufacturers making set less prone certain types interference important state however other receiver forms used technically dual conversion perform just well Dont rule out just because expert tells way go dual conversion receiver much should spend course two impossible questions answer What perhaps needs asked much have available spend NewComer often feels reluctant THE BEST IN SCALE ELITE PLANS

PLANS P0 BOX 741-MA SAN BERNARDINO CA 92402 invest too much money because he/she certain hobby/sport will take As result first impulse spend little possible Does seem logical skimp radio system Remember thats what going get $250 model engine spent hundreds hours putting together up down safely Dont let radio system afterthought Its investment likely will tong ouflive airplane Which channel should buy Please understand term channel applied radio spectrum system operates should read frequency FCC granted modelers use 50 frequencies 72 MHz range frequency assigned channel number 11 60 much easier remember way Most manufacturers place both channel designation frequency equipment stickers really good idea memorize both use field called upon mediate debate modelers airplane shot down because two models same frequency seems two parties involved didnt communicate same language failed recognize channel 40 same 7259 MHz now however Which buy Check local club find out least used will probably odd channel numbers since theyre newest ones added still some club sites allow odd channel numbers because members still operating old equipment Check local hobby shop well help can provide some high-powered industrial transmitting towers area may wish steer clear frequencies just either side may have problem trying identify frequency however once again local clubs may well have already
