The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[Snoopy1]

Yes, there are so many possibilities with the MZ32. And it appears the company is listening to the input from the end users. That is a first for most any company isn't it? LOL. Anyway, I am very excited about the radio now. "NOW" that I am starting to figure some of the things out. Heck, it has more stuff on it than I will probably ever use in seven lifetimes. Course the Aurora A9X was the same way. I have said it before and I will say it again and I will continue to say it... If Hitec had come through with a radio with more channels, I never would have bailed outta the boat I was on. To me, my A9X was just like a part of my hands. And even now when I hold it, it still fits like a glove. I highly doubt I will ever get rid of it. Primarily because I have so many accessories for it along with nine million receivers. Add to that, I will never just give it away and for what they are going for...it would be absolutely criminal to sell it for that price. As for the MZ32? Yes, it feels so good in the hands too. A different kind of feel, but good all the same. Know what I mean? The gimbals are smooth as the satin your girls nighty is made from. And absolute precision like I have never seen. To give you an idea, both my son @Shayne Epley and I started out with the original Hitec Aurora. It only has the capability of doing 1024 resolution. When I bought my A9X, (which is 2048) it was like...Whoa! Seriously! There are a few people out there that will tell you that you can not...or most can not....even a seasoned sponsored pilot would not be able to tell the difference in resolution. Ha! That is such a big lie. Indeed you can feel it. And see it. And with the Maxima receivers, it is capable of 4096. But the feel of that is not like what you would expect. Very nice.... but when you watch your servos... it is "jump, jump, jump, jump....etc." between resolution points. Also, the servos sound a little "mmm, grainy". Does that make sense? Ok, fast forward to the MZ32. It is true 4096 resolution no matter what. When I move one of the sticks, the servos are so absolutely glass smooth you can't hardly tell they are moving unless you watch them. And talk about silky. It is like pure poetry in motion watching them. Like fluid.... ya know? And just listening to them....being...."QUIET". LOL I have never had all my ganged servos so precision quiet it is almost spooky. Last night while programming the big 330, I had the plane on and once I was all done setting everything, I listened for what I could hear. That plane was so dead quiet it was a little eerie. Not even a throttle servo hum. Yes, I like it. And yes, it is so so smooth.

Wow that is promising, nice to see that the radio is starting to meet your needs and also opening some new options.

It is indeed. I plan to purchase probably at least 6 more receivers. If the big 330 likes it, I am sure the Behemoth Yak (2) and the others will like it also. Some of my planes will stay on the Hitec A9X. Simply because it is just easier that way. They really don't need anything special to liven them up. While my other big boys will most certainly benefit from the radio upgrade.

Got a lot of catching up to do. My "metered connection" is so slow right now.....UGH.

Did get the small DVR/Camera in and installed in the Avanti S. It takes really good video and decent pictures .
Now the "S" stands for surveillance . The last three pics with the wrong time and date stamp were taken with the new unit.

You get commission from Graupner don't you... seriously... quite the spokesman. I was reading this and next thing you knew my wallet had appeared on the table with the credit card showing... Had to slap myself out of it. LOL

Well here's the deal. Nnnn... o! No commission. But maybe there should be. Hee hee. My dad told me many years ago that I should have been a lawyer or a politician. First, as a lawyer, I would be poor as a church mouse. I dont care for lawyers. And as a politician? Again, poor as a church mouse. I'm slightly more honest. Lol. But you think it's interesting how I got your wallet out... you should see what a red head will do for me if I "work" her just right!

You are really into the camera stuff. Interesting what we can do now days on our planes. Pictures from the little camera are looking good. Keep us informed.

Sorry to say but my dealings with lawyers has been very difficult and trying. When dealing with big projects as I have over 250 million the layers get strange and never new which one of the lawyers I could trust or not, I always had a bad feeling when dealing with them..

Zactly.
