Yep, this [url=http://www.swanyshouse.com/mojo/mojo.aspx]plane[/url] would be the best choice.

RE: DSM2 lockout?
The failsafe worked perfectly again AFTER the receiver had been powered off and powered back on, just like it had been programmed to do originally. During the lockout, the throttle did not go to the failsafe condition, even when the transmitter was turned off. Turning off the transmitter and turning it back on did not end the lockout. The lockout ended and the receiver worked perfectly again only after it had been powered off and then back on.

RE: DSM2 lockout?
All of the 6110e lockouts were in electric foamy planes. The Orange 610 lockout was in a small balsa electric plane. The farthest distance was less than 100 feet from the transmitter, the closest was about 15 feet away. Some were indoors, most were outdoors.

RE: DSM2 lockout?
Not DSMX. They were all 6110e receivers, plus one Orange 610 receiver.

RE: os 55ax old model vs new model
The old 55AX had a 40J carb. The new 55AX has a 40K carb, which is the same one used on the new 46AX II. The old 55AX had a E3020 muffler. The new 55AX has a E3071 muffler, which is the same one used on the new 46AX II. The old 55AX was made in Japan, and says so on the crankcase. The new 55AX is made in China, and says so on the box. In a side by side comparison of the old 55AX and the new 55AX, I couldn't tell any difference in power or the way they ran. They both ran great.

RE: Don Muddiman Flying Machine
Thanks for the update Don! So what color(s) would the no markings plane be? Would the top and bottom colors be the same? I'd prefer the ARC so the plane would end up looking like my old dearly departed Flying Machine (RIP).

RE: Back in the saddle (almost.....)!!
Is there any reason that you want to go to 2.4? There's really nothing wrong with continuing to use your 9C on 72 MHz. It even has the levers on the side......just like the 9303.

[quote]ORIGINAL: BuschBarber [quote]ORIGINAL: Texastbird Drink the Kool Aid dude.[8D] [/quote] Futaba radios are every bit as good as any of the other brands, but the 9CAP is not as capable as the 9303.

The programming capability of the 9C is definitely more flexible and superior to the 9303. Keep the 9C.

RE: Don Muddiman Flying Machine
Thanks for the update Fred! I'll definitely buy a Flying Machine ARF from Condor because I have 100% confidence that it will be a top notch product, or it won't make it to market at all. Why? Because in this thread I've read about the problems that Fred has faced in order to bring a top notch ARF to market, how he solved them, or at least his plan to solve the latest problem. I also now have an idea and a greater appreciation of what it's like to deal with mfg's from across the pond.......again thanks to Fred and this thread. Posting project updates is a way for a company.....and especially a new company to earn trust and respect, and that policy is working for me. I really do appreciate Fred's efforts to keep us posted on the progress Condor is making to bringing a Flying Machine ARF to market. As we've already seen, when a company chooses to treat it's customers like mushrooms, trust and respect quickly fade.

RE: Don Muddiman Flying Machine
Thanks for the update! If the other factory is willing and able to get it right on the first try, it would be awfully tempting to give them a shot at it before committing to the first factory, regardless of how their latest sample turns out. Personally, I'm willing to wait for a FM ARF that's constructed well enough that I won't be able to blow it apart inflight. If it takes you awhile to find a factory willing to build it to those standards, then waiting isn't a problem.

RE: Don Muddiman Flying Machine
Fred, I appreciate the update about your frustration of dealing with a foreign factory. I can't even imagine having to deal with that situation. Even though progress seems to have stagnated, and maybe even lost some ground, at least I now know that something is still happening behind the scenes, and the FM ARF project hasn't withered and died again. Despite the opinion of East RC, I think putting the Flying Machine ARF project out in the open was a good move for Condor. It gives all of us a better understanding of how ARFs are brought to market. After reading how your demand for a high quality ARF has slowed down the production process, it puts a spotlight on how quickly a poor ARF can be rushed to market. I now feel even more reassured that your FM ARF will be a top notch product, no matter how long it takes to finally bring it to market. You deserve a round of applause for sticking to your guns! :) When 4 weeks of silence goes by, that makes me seriously wonder if something went wrong to the point of abandoning the project.......and that scares me. So all I'm asking is to not keep us in the dark. Even an update that says nothing has changed is far better than silence.
