I WISH
if some one design a tx which can be programmed to fly a plane automatically without human intervention once programmed. IN smple
Program like:

1. Start the engine- check controls - check ele.- chk rudder - chk airlons - chk landing gear - chk etec etc.
2. taxi to the runway
3. halt at runway stating position.
4. full throttle.
5. take off.
6. take off angle (defined) move forward 100Mtr.
7. turn left (airlon movement defined) + ele.
8. move 200 Mtr. straight.
9. turn right (airlon movement defined) + ele.
9. throttle to 50%
10. go striaght 50 Mtr.
11. maintain speed to 40 Kmpl.
12. full throttle.
13. go straight UP
14. hold for 10 Sec.
15. throttle zero
16. Free Fall
17. wait for 7 sec.
18. full throttle.
19. ele.
20. stable flight parallel to ground.
21. prog to land.
and so on...........................................
Yes of cource , all is managed by GPS and other telemetery on the plane....

In that case, Sir, why not sit and enjoy a Flight simulation game, all in the comfort of your home !

I haven't read much about this but are all the channels proportional or are some proportional while some are just on/off switches?

On the contrary flaps will need 2 servos too.

True

I think i wont be buying this radio, it will be an overkill for my easystar and slowstick

.....
21. prog to land.

Thrills of such system can be enjoyed without any investment.
Just go to the field and watch other people flying

.....or you can give me your plane and i would do that for you, for free....but i am not programmed for point 20 onwards

very creative ideas coming after 18Mhz launched............
the TRP of Futaba is increased   

If Atul buys this we would not have to get helmets on the field .

@mohan,

r u sure??....it is related to tx?...

Well he can have one of the 18 channels assigned to self destruct; whenever he feels his plane is going to hit somebody, he flips the self destruct switch, the plane explodes before impact and we are only hit by tiny pieces of foam. 

Mohan sir 

Am the official bomber on our field..

Would be coming on this sunday..In btwn you should put some pics of your build I think you are a very good aeromodeller yourselves..

Would make sense for a club to buy this and use it on a time sharred basis i guess.

Atul Bhai,
If you are coming on Sunday its better if the rest of us keep away. lol... ...Anyway I am coming on Saturday and Sunday...

11. maintain speed to 40 Kmpl.

Sir, Do u mean 40 kmpl or kmph? if its kmpl, do u want it to setup the plane at a speed which will consume fuel @ 40 kmpl? i dont think that feature will soon be available in a Tx.

I hope this never happens!! I thought the whole fun was in the flying part. Else why dont we just go to the airport and sip on a coffee while watching planes fly on their own
