Can I bind my T16 wirelessly to another Tx module for wireless trainer? I have seen video where I can use the additional external module to bind to another OpenTx powered transmitter but can it be done to a FrSky module fitted to an old Futaba field force 8?

Ah right, so it's not about the build? I really like the Futaba styling of the T16.

The ribbon problem didn't manifest itself during the beta testing phase and continued without a problem during the early model 'red badge' T16 until sometime after it when it was discovered that the ribbon was too thin and wasn't making a reliable connection, to their credit Jumper responded by supplying upgraded ribbon cable to retrofit which eliminated the problem. I have the early T16 with the original cables because the general advice is if they are still okay then it's best to leave it. I can't help but view the actions of FrSky as unethical at best, apart from the threats issued to their vendors there's the issue of their influence in the OpenTx team. Would you recommend Jumper as a serious alternative to Radiomaster Matty and Ron?

That's interesting although the Jumper T18 is in the same price bracket as its competitor the Radiomaster TX16, yet the Radiomaster attracts regular praise and recommendations over the Jumper even though they are from the same stable, both 'owners' having worked together on Jumper but split on amicable terms over differences in direction.

Why does everybody ignore Jumper? There were some problems after the initial release phase but they were addressed directly and efficiently by the company. They offer good spec and plenty of features with MPM, colour screen, OTX and Hall gimbals at a very competitive price with a smart looking unit which feels nice in the hand with the addition of gimbal angle adjustment, replacement parts are also cheaper. After the way FrSky acted towards traders who were selling Jumper products next to FrSky products I will find it morally difficult to justify buying FrSky goods again.

Fantastic and beautiful work. How do I register for the webinar Timo?

Are these cheap enough? Vintage models

Posted by Christopher Kilpatrick on 18/06/2007 23:22:00: hi, i am new to this fourm but i have now been model flying for 6 years and have built many artf kits. I would now be interested to build a model from a plan. Could anybody please tell me a good and easy aircraft to build as it is my first time building off a plan. Many Thanks, Christopher KIlpatrick Hi Christopher. What is your budget and how involved do you wish to get with the build? What I mean is are you thinking of cutting all your own parts from sheet balsa or planning on buying some or all of them ready cut to assemble over a plan? Sarik offer plans and a kit of parts or they can supply you just certain components such as wing ribs. There are still kits out there which supply everything, all cut and shaped ready to be assembled over the plan, these range from jigsaw type construction where the parts are relatively self jigging and usually made from ply to the box of sheet balsa and strip where you have to do it all yourself, you have assembled some ARTF before so at least you have a inkling about construction. Don't be too ambitious on a first build is my advice because you'll end up with a part built model that will be discarded and possibly put you off. Once you've built the first one you'll have an idea of which level of difficulty you can tackle for the next one.
