Radio Sailing Transmitter Manuals – on pdf Printouts or their own websites….?

Our 2025 pdf downloadable transmitter manuals for Radio Sailing Beginners have so far been popular. As I write, the Beginners Guide to programming the Radiomaster has been downloaded 1,075 times in a bit under a year. Doesn’t sound like many? Well according to AI there are only around 19,000 radio sailors in the World. Makes you think.

To upgrade the Datchet Radio Sailing manuals to include some really sexy radio sailing transmitter ideas, we built a website for each brand – we have Radiomaster, Futaba and Spektrum Manuals online now.

If you haven’t seen them, look for the button saying “RADIOS” on the menu (bar or button) of this Club website.

Naturally we thought the websites would sort of take over the popularity. Then something else unexpected happened – the number pdf downloads of the Beginner Manuals actually accelerated and increased.

Consequently now we’re wondering if the websites need to have pdf downloadable versions of their content. Perhaps readers prefer a repined manual to work from.

It wouldn’t take long to do. Let us know what you think!!

In fact, a couple of the Datchet guys are working more with this idea now. It requires 101% concentration, but you can see the attraction.

Craig has it set up on his Spektrum. To do it similarly on your Radiomaster or Futaba transmitter is another variation on the “Advanced Mainsheet Management” sections of our online Radiomaster/Futaba radio sailing manuals.
