"Survey Says!"...its pretty silly. Lets keep the ideas in reality. A 2.4 system is gonna cost about almost $700, I'm thinking it should kinda work for us at that price. :-) We know it that radio signals don't like our molded composite carbon weave fuselages, 72 or 2.4 or any other radio signals...we were able to adapt pretty easily once we got passed the advice of the antenna experts and just made the wire long enough to get clear of the fuse by letting it dangle about 16" or so out the rudder hinge line. Yep it turned out it was kind of important for the RX antenna to 'see' the TX antenna. Without the carbon fuse shading the info. (although I kind of liked mine tuned...to the key of E:-). Seems like the Specktrum system evolved first in rc cars which ran in close, had plastic bodies and not much room or need for long wire antennas. And now that all new molded ships will come with 2.4 friendly noses, its not likely that Spektrum will bother putting longer antennae that can exit carbon sailplane fuses...as did the other guys entering the market a few days later. (Those longer antennae and their brands might likely be complained about when the good ole days of carbon fuses are over :-) It appears Mike Lee and Dick Barker and their brainy advisors have used the KISS method of solving the challenge, no hacking components, no soldering even, and it seems their solution even voided any need for trick RX locations. And again, the ole snake charmer phrase to lull us into complacency before the strike....the chant of it "works great!" Have you heard me mentioned a think called a Flight Logger? A crazy little thing that sneeks the real happenings inside your personal setup and tattles about it after each flight, heck right at your ground range tests! So okay, the solution was creative and bound to work, but I'm wondering, who's vollenterring to send their 9000/921 and remotes to him for the dissections? :-) I will admit though that he had me Hooked at the word "neodymium" :-). Thanks for the link, unsigned Regards :-). Gordy n a message dated 2/27/2008 9:08:16 P.M.
