In the near future we will be looking back on the 2.4 market when it was new and say remember that old XPS stuff that would grab onto one frequency and hold on to it until it went into fail safe.Boy weren't we all suckers to fall for the sly marketing words of Jim Drue.2.4 that doesn't hop is useless and dangerous!!!

All the helicopter guys at my club use XPS. If only they knew how dangerous it is!!! It scares the heck out of me!!! It might take 150 or (50 flights like me) to learn the hard way. I hope to God nobody gets hurt when there XPS goes south and I hope I am not there to see it!

Well I sure am p*ssed about all of this really. That was a good $350 or so down the drain. I hope it all falls flat on his face..and he goes back to paintball or maybe used car sales.

| Re: Independent tests prove lack of frequency hopping with XPS
My buddy lost his turbine jet to XPS thats $8,000. down the drain!!!Thats bad... but whats worse is a human lives are in danger at flying clubs all over the US.All XPS products should be recalled ,as they lack frequency hopping and don't work as advertised,and are way more dangerous than 72 mhz ever was! Do you want to be someone that was flying that plane ,jet,or helicopter with XPS that hurts or kills someone after now knowing it is one of the most unsafe 2.4 systems out there.How would you cope with that? Think about it... Any one who flys XPS has no regard for safety .It has been proven unsafe. This product should be removed from the market ASAP!!! |

| Re: Independent tests prove lack of frequency hopping with XPS
Well I for one was not a sucker. I didn't buy into the hype and all. I went in expecting it might not work, like I do with every peice of electronic I put in my planes. Am I dissapointed that for now it appears that things were not as I percieved them to be? Yes. Am I sorry I spent my money and possibly lost a plane to it (since I cannot 100% determine that).....actually no, I'm not sorry I tried it. It does suck the time and money I was out but I never put anything in the air I cannot afford to lose. But that is just me. Everyone will have their own thoughts.
