(Craig receiving 2nd prize from Jim!)
Datchet Radio Sailing had a team of six members attend the 52 boat DF95 Nationals at East Kent – plus Jim and Richard on Race Team.
The team put on a great show with some really strong performances. Nigel had a terrific fourth, and Craig was a brilliant second in the Championship – only losing by one place in the final race …. very exciting !!

We have written about this a couple of times before, but until there’s time for us to get an up to date radio sailors manual written for the Spektrum take a look at this.
This website has an online link to a very good (US) radio sailors manual for the Spektrum DX6E. However, I think that the DX6E cannot do program mixing. The later DX8 and DX9 have it though. Program mixing enables you to implement “pinch and puff” modes on left-right throttle stick (mainsheet stick) movements.
