Hi all,
I want to purchase a new radio system. I'm looking for a good TX with all the options I need for F3J sailplanes and DLG's.
I don't want the JR9303 because I don't have enough money for it. I'm thinking about something less expensive...
My current TX is RD 6000 Super.

I thought about it, but in Israel it costs about $600...
I can order the JR9303 for that price from the U.S.

If you can order the 9303 from the US at $600 then may be you can order the 9CAS from the US for a lot less than the $600???? (Just my $0.2.-)

But I don't have $600...
If I'll have $600 I will buy the JR...but I only have something about $250... I'm thinking about buying the Airtronics Stylus, but I don't like Sanwa because it doesn't match any other company, and It doesn't have digital trim.

what about the JR347?
How good is it for sailplanes? Is it good enough and it has all the options I need for F3J and DLG's?

True about the digital trim. It sure is nice on the RD, I have both. It does have trim memory which is about the same thing. You goto TRM-M in the menu and hit yes, hit yes again, then turn the radio off. Center your trims and you are set. I use mine for about 8 planes, with the memory card, and love it. It's a little heavy but will do anything you want it to. You can also set it up to use a cheap rx that only has 4 ch., like the Hitec 555.

You're talking about the Stylus right?

Kalim3ro,
drCarter is talking about the Stylus and Airtronics "Z" standard now is compatible with JR servos as well as Futaba. Not sure where you could find a Stylus for $250 though. The stylus without the programming cards will do anything you need, but if you want the added features of the programming and/or memory cards you have to figure in that cost as well.

Buy it, and yes I was talking about the Stylus. Another bit of info. A glider card would be nice but you can do most functions without it.

You might look at used JR-8103's or 783's. Ive seen both for less than $150 on RCSE. Good features.

I saw it too...but most selles don't ship to Israel...)=
I've never heard about the 783...can you give me a bit of information about it?
