The Race to 2.4, one year later. Time For a Poll!

[statbeast]

I bought a 14mz module for my 12Z and have now installed the system in all my planes. Where I fly I always have frequency conflicts and the chance of being shot down (Los Angeles is crowded!) so I am really excited about the switch.

2.4 rules,nuff said.

Flying a Xps 9303 for over a year, works great. 2.4 is hear to stay

[JagerBomb]

I have a 14MZ and a 7c now both on Faast. I flew all winter with the Faast system in my foamies without a problem. I now have flown my big electric Yak and my new 38% extra on the Faast system and it was neat to just walk up and fly without even thinking about a pin and if somebody as on my frequency. It was a seamless transition for me. I definitely like the stubby antenna as well and not having to route the antenna in the plane. And since I'm using Faast I don't have to plan out a 3 or 4 receiver location.

The fact that you need to use multiple rx's with 2.4Ghz just to keep from loosing the signal tells me everything I need to know about 2.4Ghz. Jim

Right, one receiver, but a 34 inch antenna wire.

My X9303 Rocks.

Going 2.4 and A123's all the way.


I was very happy with my XP9303 until my Raptor 90 SE went into PCM lockout twice due to a bad bearing. Both times I recovered it before it did the funky chicken. I realized that I could have easily spent $500 fixing my Heli. So it seemed like a wise investment to buy a 2.4 system.

FUTABA wake up

[hubb]

I fly both of my 35%'s on DX7 and AR7000 since last spring. not one issue. I now have two AR6100's for foamies and small elec stuff. the only conflict is fighting for air time with Rob and Brandon

I want to make the switch, but I'm still not ready to plunk down the change for a new transmitter when the radio advancments are moving about as fast as computers went obsolete in the late 90's. Once things settle down and we can expect to see the same technology working for the next five years or so, I'll make the switch. Not that I don't like the technology or wouldn't use it if it was given to me (I won a DX7 and I've had no problems testing it out), I just want more stability before I upgrade from a transmitter I've been using for damn near 10 years (Jr 8103).

[StevL]

Had two xp9303, sold one Tx and moved everything to a x9303 2.4 (five planes from 50cc down to park flyer), just want one of my old synthesized 9303 to hang around a while longer. Makes a great buddy box

And I want to add:
I have had no problems at all with the dsm2 system.
Not one prob... WTG JR/Spektrum

2.4Ghz is not immune to rf interference as some have stated. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. By all means, use the system you decide on, but if you have another bad bearing, you may still have problems.

I have Spectrum on a 50CC yak. Just happen to get a cash bounce for some sales leads and
that help me make the move. Already had a DX6 for some foamies and parkflyers and heli's. I still
use my 9C on my less flow models no need to upgrade those. But any new projects will be 2.4.
Just the piece of mind of not getting accidently shot down makes it worth it.

Ohh and the DX6 is now my flight sim radio..
