Thanks for the discussion, guys. With all this interest, I should be able to take a collection for the shipping, right? ;-)
The E-5's range doesn't seem very different than the JR R700 or a 555. I'm not sure that I've ever tried to check farther than 100' with those. And, I've been flying a zagi far, far away recently with the 555 and this tx. The XF631 manual calls for a collapsed ant. distance of 75 to 100 feet. It was Fred's notes(a "little" more detailed than JR's, btw) that me think something might be wrong. If FMA is really interested in testing, I'd be willing to participate in the experiment. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 6/13/02 2:46:51 PM Eastern > Daylight Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > This range is much less than the 200' spec'd by FMA, > or the 400' from inside his house by Ed Granger! > So, > should I neatly pack it up and return it for > service, > or can the range vary greatly based on Tx? > > Even the guys at FMA get busy.
