[RCSE] Cockpit - Opinion

[RICHSHILL@xxxxxxx]

I can only talk about what I know.  I don?t own a Cockpit, but I will buy one 
if I need another transmitter.

At the AMA (IMS) show I elbowed my way to the Multiplex booth.  Karlton was 
mobbed and the German guy was busy.  I looked at the Cockpit which was hooked 
up to a PC.  With no instruction whatsoever, I poked around the screens and 
came to the conclusion that on a 10 scale, programming my Infinity 660 is 
about a 4 and the Cockpit a 9.5!  Everything I would want to do I figured out 
on the spot.  Compare that to the pleas for programming assistance we see 
regularly on the RCSE.

Plus,  it gets good reviews, it?s light and finally, it?s attractive.  That 
might not count for much, but it counts for something.  Most of the modern 
Japanese transmitters look like a deranged Transformer designer got into R/C! 
 Why?  Their cars look pretty good.  One of the mysteries of the modern 
world, I guess.
