The increase in responce is comparable to using fast servos. I can without a doubt tell the difference. I fly planes with fast servos and rearward C.G.s I also fly planes fast as well as slow.
But you do have to realize that ths latency is before the servo. So whether the servo is fast or slow, or the plane is fast or slow, the latency is added on. It counts. 72 MHz is good. a 368 servo on your elevator is good. But a 3421 is faster, and you can tell. So you can tell with moving from 72 to 2.4. But like everyone else said, it isn't a big enough reason in itself to pay good money to move to 2.4. It is however another very valid reason 2.4 is better than 72. So for now, most of my planes are still 72, but a few are 2.4. I like 2.4better, eventually all of my planes will be 2.4 On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 2:01 PM, TG Bean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would expect a heli guy to be able to tell a difference. > > But to be honest, I think it all boils down to a quote from one of my > favorite movies...Bull Durham. > > Crash Davis "If you believe you're flying well because you're getting > laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's > underwear, or breathing out of your eyelids, or using a 2.4 Spektrum > Radio, then you ARE!
