Shaun Brogdon Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Title says it all really, does anyone know if i need to buy any adaptors, or will I be OK? Im wanting to use it for fixed wing 3D practise, but Im also wanting to learn to fly the eggbeaters. Any help is appreciated, Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 if it's the standard JR buddy lead (same as Spektrum) then that's the standard Pheonix connection so you shouldn't need any adaptors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin spit Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 shaun i think your be ok with your jr as it is ,phoenix website has a list of suitble transmiters and if they need adapters or not .if your transmitters got the 3.5mm socket your be ok ,if you do find it does nt work the phoenix support team are very good and will help you out . good choice on the phoenix sim as well it has helped me progress alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Never mind sitting at the bloomin PC Shaun. Gett yourself outside and pray to the wind gods that the slopers fly-in next week is blessed with good weather, or you will have another unhappy camper on your case ( and mine ) SWMBO is already making noises about " the weather better be good for this flying thing of yours next weekend " Timboscared Edited By Timbo - Moderator on 17/05/2009 08:02:43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Brogdon Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Camper? B&B wasnt it? lol 20mph min. westerlies have been ordered, along with a big serving of sunshine. Out of three days, one of them is bound to turn out OK, right??? Ive got the sim to help hone my 3d skills, i have a few foamies, but flexible though they are, even EPP 3d models tend to break when you rolling harrier them into a tree. I fly them in the woods nearby when the wind is up, the trees offer weather protection, but are a bit tougher than me models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Is your club fly -in over the 3 days then? - I got the impression it was just the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Brogdon Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 No, ours is only the saturday, North Lakes Soaring Assosciation host the sunday and monday on the inland slopes. We all know each other as we have flown together for years and club relations are very good Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Brogdon Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Well, Ive been flying for two days solid on the sim,its currently running on my old laptop with the quality turned to high, this thing is a 4 yr old Packard Bell Easynote and its been OK, will try installing it on the new machine once I get it built and networked. So far, I'm really impressed, Ive only flew helis once or twice and I've learned so much already, I can hover, nose-in too, transition into a circuit, fly figure 8 circuits, even tried the autorotation comp and got a 4.1. Ive been flying the JetCopter mostly and will stick to it unless anyone has any ideas. All this seems too easy though, is there something I'm missing? I havent touched anything in the menus, only added some expo to soften the centres a bit. Any help or comments would be welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
