NA Radio problem....what problem?

[QuarterMaster]

Model operating at Cohutta on dual freq "B" is the setup. She already lost 2.4 at depth, so having that "A" is meaningless, "B" works should something occur in fresh water.

BTW, on dual mode, AT PD or above she's automatically picking up the stronger signal.

Redundancy, it's a GOOD thing.

I am going to experiment with the X20S and TD R10. I will extend one of the 2.4 antennas. It won't have stabilization but that can be dealt with later if needed.

Awesome, please post what you think. We need more datapoints so people can make informed decisions.

Don't worry about stabilization yet. Having the STA is pretty cool with telemetry feedback of roll, pitch and heading. For example I easily trim my boat now to within 1/2 deg in the X, Y axis, While undewary I can see performance at different speed and accommodate. Gives you something to do than just run circles or figure eights. When she's in the distance I easily know which direction she's pointing at as opposed to making out the tiny twig of a scope.

Soon enough I hope to make a determination as to how we can use it for pitch control, eliminating not only a BLM, but the APC. I wasn't impressed by the Jeti system doing it, but they have a weird algorithm for Gain apparently. These are obviously set up for a different type of craft in a different medium.

Saving a $100 or so in additional hardware justifies it and lessens points of failure.

Stay tuned!

They are set up for flying contraptions. Stabilization on a plane for instance happens with very small quick movements of the control surfaces usually as a response to turbulent air pushing the plane around. Such is not the case on a sub obviously. It would be nice if the stabilization could be made to work on a sub but not a game changer for me.

I'm using the new Engel LRpro on SHARK. Gain is adjusted from a rotary knob on my TX. Takes an extra channel, but man can I dial in that boat! I like the reversing feature which automaticall detects the backing bell.

Going to really pay off in a WTC I'm working on that will be shared among 4 boats.

Steve,

I'm gonna start posting the Radio stuff on the new "RC Submarine Radios" Forums Bob made for us.

I'll start with some EXCELLENT links to help get us rolling.

Is your radio using ETHOS or still at OPEN TX?

Ethos according to the information I see. It is the same radio you show in your first post.

Awesomesauce, you'll be able to use the model templates Bob and I develop. From there it's easy enough to tailor them to specific needs.

1-Standard Stick layout w/Channel Assignment (The standard 5 minimum)
Helm
Fairwater/Bow Planes
Stern Planes
Throttle
Ballast Control

2-Fail safe Setup
All Stop
Full rise all planes
Delayed Ballast surface.

Again all of which is easily tailored
