You guys can feel the difference from faster servos, servos with higher resolution, see or sense the slightest bubble in lift, detect the slightest change in the air, feel the air temp changes yet the fact that spektrum is measurably faster is somehow lost on human senses? On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at

I understand that some of you will have skepticism in regard to the increase in performance from the 2.4 Spread Spektrum Systems. The first time that I flew a my 9303X 2.4 system in a glider I got the feeling I was better connected to the glider. I did some high speed dives and pulled the ele

I will add this and leave it alone. My flying went from constant correcting of over correcting to having the plane respond the way I wanted it. And nothing, not practice, faster servos, expo, dual rates, speed, etc... improved the 'smoothness' of my flying like the spektrum. If you guys don't fe

These two reasons are why I like the 2.4 system. And I will add one other, the response really is better. For the first time in my flying the plane is doing what I want when I want it, I don't have to compensate by anticipating the lag. On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 12:23 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Good stuff. Don't scare everyone off with the cost. You can get a module and receiver for about half as much that will allow you to retain 72mhz and use 2.4ghz. This is the avenue I have taken. On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 10:17 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The current 2.4 excitement is partly

The attraction is primarily for those who fly at contests or in areas of crowded frequencies. You see if you go to a moderately sized contest you will be forced to share a frequency pin with one or even more of your 72 MHZ brethren. If one of them screws up and flips on their TX ( assuming there is
