<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#0000ff> This is
the place to get good advice. Opinions can differ as people are different.
Myself I love my Airtonics that has never failed my in 14 years since leaving my
Kraft's as sport or collector radios. Digitals are nice but power/juice hungry.
If you can handle the expense and go to higher capacity airborne then Digitals
are worth a lot. I am still using coreless ball bearing. Will upgrade to
digitals this off season.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Newcomer to Pattern and Servo
Questions</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I just joined this list about a couple of weeks ago since I'm
in the process<BR>of getting into pattern. My decision to get into
pattern is purely to<BR>improve my flying competency. I'm guessing this
would be the arena to due<BR>this in. I've been flying since 1984 mostly
"sport" Extra 300 and Byron<BR>Sukhoi 26m and sailplanes, <A
href="http://www.soaringissa.org/">http://www.soaringissa.org/</A>. I
live in the Los<BR>Angeles area and the problem here mainly is the loss of
flying sites due to<BR>expanding development, especially where soaring is
concerned.<BR>Unfortunately, RC doesn't have much pull in local communities
and it's been<BR>my experience that the majority of people at the fields are
30+ years of<BR>age. I'm one of the generation Xers who grew up building
plastic kits and<BR>then moved over to RC planes. This was right around the
time where the video<BR>game "revolution" was just beginning to
start. I'm greatful that I didn't<BR>get wrapped up in this
movement. I can't speak for others but I would<BR>quickly grow tired of
some of the video games I played at friends' houses<BR>whereas the challanges
of building and flying RC models seem to have a<BR>never-ending appeal.
I'm guessing this is the exact opposite of what kids<BR>are experiencing
today. They probably don't have the patience due to the<BR>"instant
gratification" nature of society, hence all the ARFs. I relise<BR>that
this is a generalization but I'd be willing to bet that the RC hobby
is<BR>losing a lot of future members to video games and other
distractions. This<BR>is unfortunately a sad reality since this hobby
offers a lot to whoever is<BR>willing to take the time. The perceived
required dedication / commitment,<BR>work and expense not only in Pattern but
RC in general is probably what is<BR>keeping alot of people
away.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Now to my question. I'm planning on buying a Mintor
1.7 and putting this in<BR>a Temptation. So I would like to hear some
opinions regarding servos. I'm<BR>guessing that JR is the predominant
brand used and I would guess that<BR>digital is the way to go? What
about Cored vs. Coreless? Also, has anyone<BR>had any experience with
MULTIPLEX brand servos? I have used these in the<BR>past in sailplanes
but was wondering how these would compare to higher end<BR>JRs or
Futabas.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Dieter<BR><BR>=====================================<BR>#
