Overview

The XG8 is the first JR transmitter to come with a 2S Li-Fe battery, being fitted with a 1400 mAh pack. This has greatly reduced the weight of the transmitter, which weighs in at only 770 grams. It also ensures perfect balance. The transmitter has an integrated charging circuit so just plug in the AC adapter supplied and the charging unit will shut down automatically once it detects that the battery is fully charged. No more worries of overcharging! The XG8 offers Aeroplane, Helicopter and Glider modes, a 30 model internal memory, stick modes 1, 2, 3 & 4 and an SD card slot for model data sharing, expanded storage and software updates (SD card not supplied).

Programming is easy thanks to JR's well-proven, intuitive user interface with data entered using the familiar scroll bar and four push-button entry keys. The programming information is clearly displayed on the large, graphical back lit screen. XG8 uses the new JR DMSS 2.4 technology which, besides offering a secure, robust radio link to control your models, also offers advanced telemetry functions and JR's new Intelligent Output System. Receiver voltage telemetry is built in as standard and other forthcoming add-on sensors will give you real time feedback of information from your model such as the RPM of an aircraft propeller or helicopter rotor blades, temperature and variometer/altimeter readings.

JR's Intelligent Output System automatically selects control signals that need to be transmitted at exactly the same time and transmits the data for these channels as one complete signal frame. This ensures that there is no time delay when commanding servos used for critical functions such as a CCPM swash plate on a helicopter or when operating a four servo aileron wing. Other features include side-lever controls on either side of the transmitter, a Touch Select System for switch selection, dual trim options, a user selected menu for frequently used functions, failsafe on all eight channels, user assigned switch function, programmable throttle cut and two independent programmable timers.

Programming Modes:

(For Helicopter)
-6 flight mode with programmable delay.
-Adjustable E-ring system prevents overdriving the cyclic servos electronically.
-5 swash plate types
-5-point graphic tail curve
-5-point graphic throttle and pitch curve with safety system.
-Advanced trim input system allows in-flight adjustment for Gyro gain and governor.
-Throttle and Pitch curve setting can copy among flight mode.
-JR easy swash plate correction system.

(For Airplane)
-3 flight mode with programmable delay.
-3-position flap switch with flap delay and elevator compensation programming
-Various wing types for Airplane
-(Normal: Dual servo selection on AILE/ELEV/RUDD/FLAP)
-(Flaperon: Dual servo selection on ELEV/RUDD)
-(Delta: Dual servo selection on RUDD/FLAP)
-(4 Aileron: Dual serve selection on ELEV or RUDD)
-V-tail setting.
-Advanced trim input system allows in-flight mixing adjustment.
-Such as knife edge or landing with flap system.

(For Glider)
-5 flight mode with programmable delay.
-Advanced programmable brake system with elevator compensation programming.
-Various wing types for Glider
-(Flaperon: Dual servo selection on ELEV/FLAP/SPOI)
-V-tail setting.
-Advanced Trim Input System: allows in-flight mixing adjustment for flap and aileron camber..

Features

• Integrated Helicopter, Airplane and Glider mode.
• 30-model internal memory
• Large graphical screen with backlight
• Extremely light weight transmitter case with perfect balance.
• It only weighs 770 grams with the Li-Fe battery installed.
• 4 user-selectable control modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4)
• Includes RG831B 8channel high-speed Receiver with an extra telemetry module.
• The new JR Intelligent Output System automatically selects which control signals should be transmitted at exactly the same time. For example, the three channels of a CCPM swash plate or a 4 servo aileron wing type. It transmits the data for these channels as one complete signal frame. Thus, there is no time delay between channel data transmission for these critical functions.
• Features the DMSS advanced telemetry system which gives you real time feed back of information from the aircraft such as receiver voltage, flight pack voltage, r.p.m. of the motor propeller or rotor blades, temperature, and variometer/altimeter in the future. The possibilities are almost limitless.
• The charging circuit is integrated in the transmitter, so you only need to plug in the AC adaptor. The charging unit automatically detects a full charge and shuts off automatically.
