    Throttle Linkage Geometry

    You can. I don't know if the A9X will do multipoint throttle curves, most radios do. There are at least a dozen ways to skin this cat, none of them are wrong. People will also point out differences in actual throttle arm movement in relation to the servo arm movement. For example, if...

    Throttle Linkage Geometry

    I usually set mine up where half stick on the transmitter is about half throttle on the carburetor, then I'll adjust the throttle curve by setting points so that each 1/4 increment on the sticks gives me 1/4 of the RPM increase between idle and full speed. You could do this by simply...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    I was telling my wife last night that I absolutely hate flying now. I've done it pretty frequently for the past 20 years, over 1 million miles on Delta, hundreds of flights on other carriers... but I absolutely hate the experience in the airport, and even in the air it has become much less...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    Great! Glad to see that time in the hobby is supporting a rewarding career too! I've luckily never been in a war zone, just third world cities where I assume everyone but me is armed. Maybe that explains why I'm usually armed when I come back home. We were on a golf outing a...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    OK.. given the choice between Colombia and Iraq, I guess I might pick Colombia. But I to hold people in high regard who decide to take the other flight. Were you there as a civilian or military?

    How did you get or come up with your user name?

    I have a buddy who's last name is Shreckengaust.. but he goes by the obvious first syllable. I bet he's gotten every Shreck doll and t-shirt known to man as a Christmas or birthday gift.

    And for you Jersey Boys, I lived in Cherry Hill for a couple of years, back in the late 80's... really a nice part of New Jersey. It was a short drive to some not so nice parts!

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    I've never seen any problems there, but it does make you pay attention to all the stories. There have been times when the company will restrict travel to that area to only "necessary" trips, but that makes me really wonder why someone would go there if it wasn't necessary. When I was...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    I work for a company called Sanmina. We're an electronics manufacturing company with production plants all over the world. I manage the services business for the company in North/South America, but we'll travel to our other global facilities from time to time. We get to see great places like...

    How did you get or come up with your user name?

    Like every self-respecting old school I/T person, everything in life comes in groups of 4 letters. My name goes back to when I got my first email address... probably back with AOL or something. REYN is the first 4 letters of my last name (just like the aluminum foil) and 3545 was the street...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    I was born a poor black child... oh, wait, wrong movie. Born in California, grew up most of my life in Louisiana, went to Miami after college, then up to Atlanta, GA. I was sentenced to 2 years in New Jersey with a former employer, then moved back home to Georgia... I live in Alpharetta...
