Timer, A plea for the future radio development a plea for future radio manufactures, it might take them 20 years  but perhaps, just perhaps, they read this thread, and remember this little function then  Add the functionallity to let % throttle output control the timer, not stick, not tons of logic on switches, its not complex at all, just "if throttle-out % > X" start the timer, stop if lower.Then it would work just like a stick timer on my 12X, BUT it would stop in Throttle Hold, it would never stop in Idle-Up, or if for some reason I had two normal curves, it would work.No complex logic needed, not hard to do, but it would really make for a good feature.Of course I dont forsee this happening anytime soon, but it sure would have been nice.Gone fishing..or hunting..or something

I think a neat timer for electrics would be the 80% rule..have something that reads the MAH consumtion of the battery and relays it to the radio..adjusted to whatever % you want so the timer goes off when it hits that percetange value...that way you could mix and match batteries |

For electrics I agree, but above solution would work for all, as a timer function only.We might see intelligent LVC faster then we think, CC has incorporated datalogger in their new ICE ESC's, its only missing a piece of software...Gone fishing..or hunting..or something

My 10C radio does this. It uses a logic switch. I learned it from a video example somewhere.Tom |

Rig up a Piezo Buzzer, I bet you could get one loud enough to here it from the heli, that is if was an electric heli. Maybe CC would have a trigger you could set the mahs for it to close a set of contacts and make the buzzer go off. Stan

The Future is already here. It is called the SD10G. This radio already does this.TMPart 107.

Ya but it doesn't sound like a Spektrum or JR, more like that off brand radio from Japan. Stan

I hope you know I was just kidding. That is a nice radio, but I could never use one as sophisticated as it is. I have a hard time finding two switches on a DX7, let alone all of those. A radio like that is for the younger crowd.I still think my Piezo Buzzer is a good idea.Stan

I did two flights today and forgot to start my timer on my DX7 both times <sigh>. Had to guesstimate and look at my Eagletree data afterward. If the DX7 would start the timer even on throttle up I would be happy. I know many other manfs do this. But if the radio could "if throttle-out % > X" that would be the bomb.even not doing anything would have been better than nothing... |

I believe it was my 8103 that would beep at every minute mark and then start beeping somewhere around 30 seconds before the set time. That timer still had to be started manually.Stan

There's no other radio available today as stick-to-servo fast as an Airtronics SD-10G, |

Great. Thank you. Message I take away is that the SD10G and 10C (using the figures for the High-Speed FAAST mode which you didn't post) are the current kings of the hill for speed.Here in the UK, there's no sign of the SD10G becoming available which is a real shame. Ages ago I used to have an Infinity 660 radio which I liked a lot apart from the styling and horrible rocker switches. I really wanted the Infinity 1000 after reading the review in Rotory Modeller. It was a radio way ahead of its time but the UK importers refused even to acknowledge its existence let alone get one for me!!! I ended up going with Futaba when the 9Z came out as it was so much more flexible than anything else available in this country at the time |

If you have the HS RX's on the Futaba the latency numbers are pretty much a wash between the 10C and the SD10G. To be fair I haven't seen the testing between the two.TMPart 107.

I brought this topic up at IRCHA with the JR/Spektrum crowd. Futaba has had this feature for many years in it's 9C and I think the 8U's may have had it as well. Those at the JR booth basically said that the DX-7 and 9303 radios are old programming and that no one ever cared about this feature until electrics became widely popular. They said that all future mid to high end radios would have some form of this feature but that there would be no software upgrades for our DX-7s or 9303s.
I flew a Futaba 9C from the time it came out until the DX-7 hit the market and I truly relied on that built in timer. I mostly miss it these days when flying my 450s since I don't like to push the batteries too far since the current battery technology has packs that still put out great power even though they are destroying themselves.Matt
Stupid people have no idea how stupid they are!!! |
