Fade in... Commentator: We are here at the first national debate of the year. We have our JR 2.4 system and will be flying a foamy during the Presidential debates. The test??? Can our system stand up to possibly the largest interference factor known to man??? The bulls&*t slung by politicians....let's watch. Gordy will be our pilot today and as he takes off it is worth noting that the 2.4 system has performed flawlessly for years around Gordy and some have said that as far as this type of test, the system has more than proven itself. However it is worth noting that while Gordy can "sling it with the best of them" the type of verbal refuse slung during a Presidential debate has a consistency all its own. Gordy is performing a series of spectacular manuvers while the debate rages on, and as expected....no glitches are noted. So is this the ultimate test of this system? It's hard to know for sure, but one thing is positive. If it can stand up to Gordy flying during a Presidential debate, it can handle just about anything. Tom

I don't know if you guys can read, or read the Model Airplane News, or some of the others, but on the back page JR DSM and Spectrum have thrown down the gauntlet, put their systems where their money is..and have set up monthly challenges to their systems. For instance....Cal Orr challenge them to send him 40 systems to have on simultaneously, while testing with what I guess is a Spectrum Analyzer and other stuff.....I suppose because there has been the rumor about 40 monkeys at 40 radios all wiggling the sticks 40 times per ...etc Anyway, the next one was a heat test...they put an RX with remote into an oven powered up with test gear and found that at about 200+ degrees the case melted but the RX kept on working. Looks like they are serious about this 2.4 stuff and aren't waiting for some to find a glitch...they want to show us, or I should say prove to us that their system really works, not just seems to work in model airplanes just fine. What an expensive and whacky way to show their customers that their DSM system really is working. Got to love fellow sailplaners who also sell radios :-) They must think we are all from Missouri ! Can't wait to see what challenges they give themselves next. Gordy Home for the week Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?
