At this point, there are way too many unknowns. If you can provide well-written owner's manuals in English that we can download from your website and read, your prospects of selling these radios will improve dramatically. That's true of the other products on your website as well.

I'm not wild about the control placement, but it might have some nice features. Here's one of the images:

Thank you for all your questions and suggestions. here is the link to the manual of 9 channel transmitter: http://www.skyrc.cn/tem/IMAX_FX9.pdf

[fhhuber506771]

Manual needs proofreading... errors in spelling, punctuation and apostrophe use are common.

[Kema]

Thats engrish manual. English manual is coming later.

[Miami Mike]

40 megabytes from a very slow server. I guess I'll have to wait until tonight.

And it's in Engrish (http://www.engrish.com/)? Oh boy, I can hardly wait!

[Miami Mike]

It looks like this is indeed Engrish at its finest! Here's a quick random find from the bottom of page 48:MIX1-5:

Mix purpose to accuse of form to get rid of little
mistake of organism, make it is it can take
the heart conveniently even more to have not
to handle. The very wanton one mixes accusing
of among the channel.Priceless!

ROFLMAO! :D :D :D
Warn the sound: After establishing time for less than 59 seconds, warning sound appears in one second in every interval [Bi]: It sets for time to finish long and loud.Amen brothers and sisters! :D :D :D

[fhhuber506771]

echostone542:

If you want to be taken seriously... definitely get that manual fixed.

The features of the radio sound good. But the manual is looking like a joke.

[echostone542]

Thank you for all your suggestions! We will modify the manual as soon as possible and give you a better one. Thanks again!

The LCD images have alot of JR in them...hopefully they copied the user-interface from a decent radio.

Walkera has a computer radio very similiar to the JR 8103, and I have yet to see one in america....

Giving some of these away for testing might do wonders too, people arent likely to buy a new product unless they are following someones experiances.

I would be more than happy to test one out for ya ;)

Don't worry, there'll be a review on RCModelReviews in a few weeks. That'll save *you* taking the risk with an unknown product.

Me too, me too! :D

[Miami Mike]

I don't know why. I sure wouldn't want to be the one to test a new radio with unintelligible documentation, from an unknown designer and manufacturer, considering that it could very easily destroy one of my own model planes and all of its gear.

Maybe they'll earn a reputation for trustworthiness eventually, but I have a lot of time and money invested in my models, so for now, I'll stick with reputable radio control gear. You guys test it if you like. The rest of us will sit back and watch.

[CarreraGTSCS]

How much? Futaba or JR shift or shift select? Where is it available? What capacity battery?

[jafoca]

It seems like you all are being a bit harsh =/

[CarreraGTSCS]

Not me. I just want info. I'd be willing to take a chance on one. I'd put it in one of my old GWS planes until proven with a number of successful flights.

Mike

[jafoca]

C-

Sorry for over-generalizing. You indeed asked fair questions. Just some others seem to be quite negative about this product.

[CarreraGTSCS]

No need to apologize. I knew what you were saying. Could be a good product. I've been thinking lately of getting one of the Polk's transmitters but there's enough negative comments to make me pause. I'd be willing to give one of these a chance if it's compatible with my current batch of receivers.

Mike

[village_idiot]

It actually looks like it might be a very good product depending on the price and a few other features. It would be great if it used an RF module so that we could legally change the channel (here in the USA) as well as add other systems like a 2.4Ghz system.

[ips]

downloaded manual. not uninteligible, but a poor translation, If you are familiar with JR programming, it is not so bad. Granted for mass distribution in english speaking lands, it needs work.
comswder thit ths is nat gud spelqmig, yyo cin stall rred it.

What I found;
1024 pcm
digital trims
plug in JR type module, raising the question about swapping to synth.

wiz bong programming, throttle mixture, camber reflex, throttle curves, plus standard JR stuff. impressive IF components are decent. Apparently JR firmware it would seem. JR liscensed the walkera 1001, maybe this one also?

emails promptly answered and very helpful anson is.
Price quoted about one high end digital servo. scarey... but tempting...

just buy one if your so inclined, if it isnt good, use it for park flyers. no sense trying to get a million questions answered I think.

[Miami Mike]

downloaded manual. not uninteligible...Glad to hear it. Please tell us what this means:MIX1-5:

[Up&Away]

How can you not understand that!:)

[ips]

Glad to hear it. Please tell us what this means:

Quite simply and succinctly, when flying a scale aerobatic plane for example, unwanted coupling as in yaw or roll coupling can be mixed out or compensated for.
If you have he desire and the experience programming radios, not so difficult.
Now you do it.

[Miami Mike]

Which word means "scale aerobatic plane"? :rolleyes:

My first impression was that the manual is sort of like a long contract - the first thing to do is skip to the end and read that first.

[ips]

I suppose the advice I would give is not to try to read it literally, but use your acumen and common sense to decifer the meaning. feel the force...

No different than most english manuals written by english speaking humans.

my method: play with the radio first, read the manual, play with radio again, throw out the manual. save your set ups..

[ips]

mr. mike, your being too literal, go with the general, move to the specific. I used a specific example I thought you might understand.

[Miami Mike]

I suppose the advice I would give is not to try to read it literally, but use your acumen and common sense to decifer the meaning. feel the force...Just like the Bible. I get it.

[ips]

Just like the Bible. I get it.

Hmm, well If that is your nearest frame of reference I guess, do I sense sarcasm? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one. Just trying to be helpful. keep it fun. most Western thinkers think linearly, and speak literally. In Asia and othe places, like major universities, linguistic frames of reference ... well, to put it simply, sometimes are different, and there is difficulty translating .

If you want to be critical certainly its your perogative I suppose. I do understand yor frutration. Being Asian, for me I see two sides of the same coin.

[Miami Mike]

ips,

It's clear from your post count that you signed up with RCGroups just to post in this thread, which means that you personally have a financial interest in selling these radios. Unfortunately, you have unwisely chosen to argue that the manual is okay as it is rather than agree that it needs to be rewritten.

My advice to you is to bite the bullet and get someone more fluent in English to rewrite your manual for you. Your prospects of selling your radio will be much better.

[ips]

Well, your deadwrong about my connection to this product, if you go back and read my posts sir, you will see I stated the manual leaves more than a little to be desired. Maybe because I said I was Asian you think that?
peace be with you. I'll try another forum thread just to prove you are incorrect about my intent here. I suppose its trial by fire on these forums okay I will bow out of this one thread and try again.. go love someone, life is too short to be angry and suspcious.

[bnrusso]

Can't we all just get along?
In order for a product to sucessfully enter the American market, especially when it is a replacement of something that is already there, the manual must be accurate, and include many programming examples.
There are 2 specific reasons why.
First programming features are difficult for most experienced (older) modelers as many have never programmed mixes or couplings, EXP, EPA's,.... Younger and tech savy modelers will usually have no problem figuring things out but there are still many Americans that cannot program the clock/timer on their VCR.
Secondly, when a product manual is not "Americanized" it seems that the supplier's product is inferior. When people read these unintelligible statements they feel that the product is not worth their time as the translation actually sounds funny. The statements read like a joke and so the product must also be a joke.
I use and am very happy with many Chinese products. The low cost makes up for the hard to read manuals but many of my RC associates don't share the same feeling.

And then there are those, who for their own personal reasons, just don't ever want to be challenged re: their statements or knowledge.

[village_idiot]

OK, if it is cheap... Where can I buy it? I might take a chance on something like this if it will fly helis with various different swash types.

Now you do it.


Yaw/roll coupling would be the 1-4 mix. 1-5 would be mixing ailerons to flaps or retracts if it used Futaba channel order. If it uses JR channel order a 1-5 mix would be throttle to flaps or retracts.

*************

The Bible is very easy to understand by comparison to the manual....

Find a copy of the Bhagavad Gita. Thats closer to the way the manual reads. (yes, I have a copy)

[bildo baggins]

Interesting radio. What was the price point? I tried reading through the thread for it but too much garbage to overlook.

[ips]

Interesting radio. What was the price point? I tried reading through the thread for it but too much garbage to overlook.

106 USD I was quoted. (plus shipping) don't know if that is dealer or one radio though. I have not followed up on quantities.
I came back to thread to answer a question on topic, hope I don't get slammed again.

As far as Bhagavad Gita goes, Yes exactly the point! I have read some of it, back in the 60's. And we could all use a little Dharma here!

Try reading some of the post modern essays for really obtuse cyclical reasoning. The point being the non linerity of human knowledge and existence, and the break down and blending of cultural precepts.

Certainly my attempt, however inadequate, to convey cultural differences and elucidate the intent of the grossly inadequate radio manual, was meant in good faith. Using specific examples(if not matching Futaba or JR's protocol) to make it generally more understandable.
I suppose I was a little sensitive to the apparently unrealized and unintentional bigotry in some of the earllier posts. I should forgive and forget.
Lets hear a review next!
I will volunteer after I get one, unless someone else does it first.
again,
