XtremeLink - 2.4GHz for Futaba, JR, and Hitec radios
We are pleased to announce that we will be releasing a new product in the near future that will allow you to upgrade you exiting Futaba, JR, and Hitec radio systems to 2.4GHz.
Our system replaces the existing transmitter RF module and includes a brand new receiver. This is a professional upgrade, not a park flyer upgrade. Our system offers up to 5 miles of range, no frequency conflicts, the ability to have up to 390,000 people flying at the same time, and gives you the option of having telemetry data. Information and pictures of the prototype units are on our website. http://www.xtremepowersystems.net/xtremelink.php |
That is a powerful set of features! Can you share the expected price for a Tx module/Rx set, as well as for extra Rx's?
With a Oct 2006 release, no doubt you have several beta testers using the system. Any chance they can chime in and share their experience with it? It's always beneficial to hear first hand from the regular folks down in the trenches. For sure, good luck with the product. If it works as good as the feature set sounds, and is affordable, it will be very cool indeed. |
Darcy Wingo of Troy Built Models/Composite ARF was there when we maidened the system. He has flown it a few times since. He commented that this was the smoothest radio system he had ever used, and that was with a Hitec Optic 6 transmitter!
MSRP for the "flight pack" will be $179. This includes your choice of transmitter module (JR, Futaba, or Hitec) and one 8 channel receiver. MSRP for the 8 channel receiver will be $99. MSRP for the 10 channel receiver will be $119, and MSRP for the 16 channel receiver will be $149. MSRP for the telemetry system will be $129. Additional sensors will vary in price, depending on what they are. Considering a good 10 channel PCM receiver is right at $200 street price, this system is quite a bargain, besides having its numerous other advantages. |
This is great News!
Thank you for bringing out a system that kicks the other current manufacturers' . I have a few questions though: How can the output power be adjusted? Will there be a lighter/smaller reciever for the slim fuselages of light gliders, or will it at least be possible to move the antenna of the current 8CH reciever in a position more parallel to the case, thus requiring less space? Thanks, Julian |
The antenna is tuned to the circuit board. This is how the spherical radiation can be achieved. The antenna is only 1.2" tall, and has to be 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the circuit board.
The weight we have stated right now is the heavy plastic that is used for rapid prototyping. The final weight will be about 2/3rds of the stated weight. You could remove the case if necessary (although the receiver is small as-is) but changing the antenna position will change the range. Basically figure that if you fold the antenna flat (parallel to the circuit board), you will get about 1/3rd the normal range and the RF sphere will no longer be perfectly round. Thinking ahead though, we have made a provision to use a remotely mounted antenna, which has a cable connecting to the receiver and a new base for mounting. I doubt that these will ever be necessary, but we do have the option should the need arise. Power is adjustable via the programming. There is a push button and multi-colored LED on each receiver and transmitter module. You can program the output power, "bind" the receiver/transmitter, program channel mixing, swapping, fail safe positions, etc. |

In fact, I do use the antenna as a Tx stand. It has a nice angle with the 9303.
We can easily support any radio system that has a removable module. We have been getting bombarded with requests from sailplane guys using the Airtronics radios, so we are looking into that. I am also experimenting with the Airtronics M8/M11 ground radios for our cars, and that works very well. |
how will this work with all metal tx's like the micropro? can it be completely enclosed with just the antenna poking through or does the whole back of the module need to be exposed? and what would be the best antenna orientation considering that i normally point the long whip at an angle towards the ground?
do both modules have the same size PCB inside or is one smaller than the other...and can they be used without the case? dave |
Hi Jim,
Is there any chance of a flight pack being made in the future for "non-module" computer radios like the Futaba 7TCAP? Thanx, Bill |
Antenna orientation does not matter. I ordered the new JR 10S transmitter (magnesium case) to see if it makes any difference. As long as the antenna can poke out the back, it really should not matter.
We will NOT be making any type of replacement boards for internal RF transmitter configurations. We just don't want the FCC headache necessary for each and every transmitter type. |
Whew!!! This is going to light a fire under all of the other manufacturers rears!!!!!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT!!!!! Can't wait....... |

I've been thinking a lot about dating. Probably because I'm newly single and I want to do a lot of it, but haven't done enough of it. My last date was three weeks ago and we had a great time. I met him on Match.com (his photos were Sujeiry approved) and we had dinner at Lala's Argentine Grill in Studio City. The food was delicious. The conversation flowed. The chemistry was building. I had high hopes.
Then, the sucker disappeared. Not literally (he isn't Aladdin and I swear he wasn't a figment of my imagination). After walking me to my door and asking me out on a second date, he never followed through. And I was excited for our second date, not only because I wanted to make out with him but also because he had promised to take me to a lounge.
A date in a lounge is sexy and the perfect setting for a second date. Why? I will explain now and then some. Here is the science behind where he takes you on a date, as in where the first five dates should take place and why.

Restaurant Petrus Restaurant Review: Experience classic French cuisine set against dramatic views of Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. Crystal chandeliers, elegant drapery and surrealist images painted across the dome-shaped ceiling display the opulence of the restaurant's grand interior. Chef Frederic Chabbert brings skills learned in kitchens like Alain Ducasse's Le Louis XV in Monaco to this seasonal menu that features dishes like blue Brittany lobster and tomato salad with Niçoise flavors; raw langoustine tail with caviar, Japanese green tea cream and Sarawak black peppercorn; or the crispy black truffle tart with smoked Alsatian bacon potatoes and black garlic. The restaurant is a favorite among gourmand vegetarians for Chabbert's extensive list of green edibles, including warm young Greek vegetables in tomato concassé with North African spices, and Tuscan pasta with aged Parmesan, marjoram and black truffle coulis. Dessert rounds out the meal on a high note, especially if you choose the dark chocolate plate sprinkled with sea salt and accompanied by homemade vanilla ice cream. The Alsace and Burgundy rooms create an intimate setting for private parties and a wine cellar allows for an extensive wine list with over 20,000 bottles. |

Dallas VideoFest Reboots For Its 27th Year This October
Hitchcock's The Lodger
Celebrating its 27th year, the Dallas VideoFest (DVF) and the Video Association of Dallas (VAD)--an organization committed to the exhibition of independent, alternative, and non-commercial media--are ready to try something new.
Since 1986, when they presented the inaugural program, Video As A Creative Medium, at the Dallas Museum of Art, Bart Weiss and his dedicated team of organizers, volunteers, and artists have worked hard to make a place for the difficult to define field of media art that goes by many inadequate names: "video art," "experimental film and video," or "new media." That first event, which was co-curated by John Held, included two nights of video by selected local and national video artists and was a great success, but over the years, "video art" has fallen in favor at the festival to more conventional forms of video-making.
As the Dallas VideoFest has become the oldest and largest video festival in the United States and continues to garner critical and popular acclaim, it remains committed to bringing films to the theatre that are rarely available to be seen anywhere else. Films like experimental/art films, animation, narrative and documentary shorts, as well as documentary and narrative features, and some hard-to-find classic TV episodes and classic films are often in the mix. This year, DVF and VAD have a plan to reframe and allow audiences to rediscover all that the festival has to offer.
First task in their new mission is expanding the festival across the Metroplex. The VideoFest officially opens at the Dallas City Performance Hall on Wednesday, October 8 by debuting Alfred Hitchcock's first silent movie thriller, The Lodger. Following opening night, DVF27 will take over two screens at the Alamo Drafthouse in Richardson from October 9-12, will screen a special Native American film at the University of Texas at Arlington on October 13, will host a community screening October 14-15 at the South Dallas Cultural Center, and will conclude at the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station October 16-19.

The second task in their new mission is to provide a platform specifically devoted to those hard to define pieces of video art. In January 2015, the VAD will work with the McKinney Avenue Contemporary to present The Dallas Medianale, a group of exhibitions focused on presenting the various forms of moving image practice in a more ideal environment than the traditional "film festival" model can provide. There will be a month-long exhibition of video installations in the two large gallery spaces of the MAC curated by writer and curator Dee Mitchell. "Transcode Microcinema," programmed by artist and curator Michael A. Morris, will be a series of seated screenings held in the MAC's black box theater and will be partially programmed from an open call.
"Transcode" will exhibit works in the following formats: Digital Video (file based, SD/HD), 16mm, and Super 8. If you work within these mediums, you can submit your work now, and until October 6. There is a minimal fee, as with most video festivals, but it's worth it. First, you'll be part of a nearly 30-year tradition; second, you'll be screening your work at a prestigious video festival; and third, you'll be screening your work at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary, which is celebrating it's 20th year of exhibiting and presenting some of the best in contemporary art work.
There's also talk of moving image performances during the exhibition.
"We're trying to put together an exhibition that will create an ideal space for this work that can get lost in the larger festival or which benefits from a gallery context. There will be seated screenings as in a festival setting [with "Transcode"], as well as installed works [curated by Mitchell]," says Morris. "It's important to exhibit each of these forms of work in a way that's appropriate; to allow videos that require focused attention to be seen in their entirety as works of cinema, and to allow works that are intended to engage space and that have a different relationship to time to be viewed as installations."
See below for a brief schedule of what's to come with the Dallas VideoFest 27. A full schedule will be available soon at the DVF27's website, but tickets and passes can be purchased now.
October 8: Hitchcock's The Lodger Opening night with the Dallas Chamber Symphony Dallas City Performance Hall

October 13: Native American community screening with Native American Student Association University of Texas at Arlington Fine Art Building
October 14-15: African American community screening South Dallas Cultural Center
October 16-19: Angelika Film Center
All exhibitions held as part of Dallas Medianale will be held at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas January 9-11, 2015.

She is the main protagonist in a play which she "couldn't understand at all" when she first read the script. A play which is a synthesis of two stories by renowned French author Marguerite Duras, whose writings are considered difficult even by the French. But actor Nandita Das decided to do Gates To India Song (GTIS) nevertheless, because for her, "it was a chance to expand and experiment with the definition of theatre."
"This has been one of the most difficult characters to play, as understanding the text itself took a lot of time. I still can't claim that I understand it fully, but I am glad I got to push my boundaries," she explains. "Watching this play will be like observing a painting which you cannot understand intellectually, but you still look at it because it gives you a pleasant feeling. It will be like experiencing literature," Nandita says.
The 90 minute-long production is part of the Bonjour India Festival and will take place at the French Ambassador's residence in Chanakyapuri for five consecutive days, starting today. What makes the play interesting is that it will begin in the lobby of the ambassador's residence, move to his room and end in the building's beautiful garden.
"The audience too, therefore, will move around with the characters. It's my style of doing theatre," says director Eric Vigner. Further more, the production neither has defined characters, nor a clear storyline. "A character may feel a deep emotion of love, but nothing will be explained through words. People may have difficulty understanding it because it's a complete contradiction to the most popular mode of entertainment in India: Bollywood. They will have to come with an open mind to understand it," sums up Vignor, somewhat setting the rules.

What: Gates To India Song
When: From March 9 to 13
Timing: 7pm
Where: Residence De France, Nyaya Marg, Chanakyapuri

My cousin and I used to jerk off and play Pac Man. When it was his turn to play, I jacked off and when it was my turn he stroked.

Widening its crackdown on Taliban, Pakistan Army on Wednesday attacked militants with helicopter gunships and tanks, as troops rolled in to wrest control of the restive Swat valley killing 62 extremists in one of the most bloodiest fightings.
While 35 Taliban fighters were killed as troops, under heavy tank fire cover, engaged the militants in street fighting in Mingora and took control of Emerald Mines, which Taliban were exploiting to enrich their coffers, a military spokesman said.
Heavy fighting also raged in the nearby Buner district where troops blasted Taliban fortifications in Pir Baba and Sultanwas areas killing 27 militants.
Shells and rockets landed on Mingora, the main town in the valley, where Taliban seized all major government buildings, including that of the local mayor and DIG of Police, and mined all thoroughfares in anticipation of a land assault.
Troops took control of the Emerald Mines, which witnessed some of the heaviest fighting, military spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas told reporters. "35 militants were killed near the Emerald Mines," he said.
The offensive sounded a death-knell for the controversial peace deal and triggered a massive exodus from Mingora and other towns with thousands of people fleeing the area after authorities asked them to do so.

STAT3 is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. This protein is activated through phosphorylation in response to various cytokines and growth factors including IFNs, EGF, IL5, IL6, HGF, LIF and BMP2.

dex04 answered 3 years ago
Thomas, 7J Is correct... condition, body, frame and mileage are the factors here: Was it ever hit? (rear/side/front end) Did you Car Fax it? or KBB it??? Odometer should read: 312K miles is it half that? (@ 12K Miles X's 26 yrs) How many owners? Was timing belt EVER replaced at 70-80K??? Any service history? How does it start?... Perky? Valves quiet/noisy? How's the idle?... Burning oil? Did you check oil color? hoses/belts cracked? Any fluid leaks???? how about exhaust leaks? How is the paint?... decent?... any body work? How is the windshield... scratched? All windows work? How is the interior?... is it Beat w/holes, tears??? Did you checked the 4 corners for shock bounce?? How does it drive/shift? does it go where you point it when you let go of steering wheel? How much meat on the brakes? on the tires? AC & heat works??? All these things need to be considered before you take home a lemon! My Civic from '02 w/85K just had a ton of work done: bearings, brakes, shocks, struts and it is not CHEAP! I do not advice you to get into a 26 yr old car unless it came from a car nut like me or you have deeeeep pockets! Good Luck

Thanks Guy, I've been offered a 1988 Honda Civic DX hatchback with 100,000 miles for 2,500 what do you think?
dex04 answered 2 years ago
Well, does it pass all the checks above? 26 yrs and $2500 it seems to much to me 1,500 seems more reasonable. Values typically dip sharply after the initial new sale, then again at 100,000 miles or 5 years.see link below http://www.driverside.com/value-your-car/honda-civic-1988-13410-20300-0?style_id=38694&mileage=100000&zip=07731&valtype=0
dex04 answered 2 years ago
As a matter of fact if you are willing to pay $2500 for a 26 yr old car with 100K, I'll sell you for $9000 my 10 yr old '02 CIVIC with 87K in MINT condition with all service records.
NachoRiv answered 2 years ago
Thanks, my Son is focused on the 1988 yr. I appreciate the offer, I'll take that into consideration.
dex04 answered 2 years ago
Sway him away from doing it unless you want him to cut his teeth as a future Mechanic and be broke or brake your pocket for a while. At 70K this car which I bought new, and never abused, with no accidents, no rust, I (61 yr old) only drive, as wife never learned manual shift ... she drives an Altima. I changed thus far all bearings, installed Lexus grade shocks/springs, calipers/discs/pads, drums/shoes, all new brake lines, shifter cables, last year the windshield "gasket shrunk" so dealer said it required a brand new windshield, etcetera, etcetera. Imagine all the poor kid will have to spend on a 26 yr old it to make it safe.

Building a Theme Analysis: Thesis Statements and Writer's Workshop (1 of 2)
Lesson 2 of 8
Objective: SWBAT plan for an analysis essay and write an arguable thesis statement by using the template.
Warm Up
It is Monday and the beginning of a new unit! To build a classroom culture of respect and community, we will continue our Monday tradition of Celebrating a New Week!
For five minutes, students will write any celebrations from the weekend or upcoming week and will create a to-do list. The to-do list is to help students plan. I encourage them to list anything they want to here from chores at home to homework. Few of my students use a planner and I hope this helps keep them organized. Throughout the week, I take a few seconds to ask them to look at their to-do list and cross off items they have accomplished.
At the end of writing, I put the timer on 2:00 minutes and students are allowed to share. We offer three claps to help celebrate.
Mini Lesson
Today is a long mini lesson day! Most of the time, I try to keep my mini lessons between 10-15 minutes. Today, I anticipate it will be 20-25 minutes. Once students begin student work time, I anticipate stopping them frequently, reteaching something and then returning them to work. Thesis statement writing is very important to the development of the paper. I am spending a lot of time on it because I want students to understand it is going to drive and direct the rest of their essay. I am going to tackle the task of teaching thesis statements in a two-day lesson.
First, I will enthusiastically recite a quick version of Three Little Pigs. I chose this story because most students know the basics and I recite it from memory. After, I will ask students what the author is whispering. Here is a link to an explanation of the Surface Story vs. Whispered Story anchor chart that we often refer to. After they tell me three possible themes, we will pick one and write a theme statement.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Student Work Time
After we have written a theme statement as a class, the students are going to work on writing their own theme statements for their chosen theme ([loss of] innocence, courage, bearing witness, silence). I am going to require that students have a stamp of approval before moving on to step two of thesis writing tomorrow. I will be reviewing theme statements to make sure they are not cliche and they are specific and focused. I ask students to write a theme statement first, because it helps assure they are writing about a text abstractly.
We will finish class today by grouping by common theme. After students are grouped, they will take a few minutes to read the theme statements of their peers. We end this way because I want students to practice collaborative revision (SL.9-10.1).

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.83 / 5.00 6,206 ViewsLog in to save your medals! Don't have an account? Create one for free!

C - call allies/reinforcements (if you have any)
Q - exit level
0 - mute

M - menu (map only; you can select allies from here)
Traitor puts you into the shoes of a soldier of the Augustan Hegemony, forced to rise up against your former masters after you're ordered to do something you simply cannot accept. Explore the Aventinus Complex, complete missions, upgrade your ship and gather allies until you can overthrow the tyrants who have brought such misery to the people.
[Note: If you're playing in Firefox and experience odd control problems, try switching to Chrome or Opera.]
[Current version: 1.7]
1. The game opens up after the 4th mission, when you reach the map.
2. Upgrades are available in shops on the map screen.
3. The menu allows you to see your stats, achievements and allies.
4. If a mission is too difficult, try playing a different one and upgrading your ship.
5. In some situations, survival is more important than destroying all enemy ships.
If your medals aren't unlocking, this is probably because the NG server is having some hiccups. Try reloading the page and see if the preloader ad is being displayed. Then go to the in-game Achievements screen; the game will try to unlock any medals you should already have.
This really kept me going the whole time, got every upgrade, rarely had to redo missions. Though the last couple gave me troubles with something that felt more broken than challenging. The wall type enemies with the black wall type things to their rears were next to impossible to kill fully upgraded, and when they doubled up there was a 95% chance you were gonna get hit by it. Otherwise fun, gripping game.
I like this game a lot. It really gives you a feeling that if you were not just sitting in front of the computer playing it you could definitely make a positive impact on your world. Thanks Jonas!
Generally speaking I'm not a huge fan of vertical space shooters. But this one was better than the average one. Personally I really liked the graphics style and I thought that it went nicely with the game. The plot is somewhat basic, but varied slightly to make it more enjoyable. I like how you can repeat missions, like the Rock Mining ones. It's a basic concept that's great for grinding money that few games seem to implement. The upgrading system is kind of tedious, but more realistic. It can suck to have to travel from system to system trying to find a certain thing, but in all reality it's not too bad.
Overall I really enjoyed this game. Nice work.
Hi all,
If anyone wants to grab the mp3s of the "Traitor" soundtrack - you can do so for a limited time from this dropbox folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/67lgckge04 8pmb4/n7lQFZ_8HA
There's a couple of tracks in there that didn't make the final cut of the game too. Enjoy!
If you like then let me know either here or by following on twitter: @cdavismusic
Thanks guys,
Chris Davis
