Hey I'm a 24 year old Swedish bikini model on tour and I like watching Redskins football.

See how easy that was to post?
I've always heard that Swedish Bikini models prefer hirsute, intelligent men .. . care for a drink young lady???

("hirsute" is one of those "linguistics specialty" words I throw around occasionally. Kiwi gets to tell us what it means. . . .)

I own both XPS and Spektrum so I am interested in the subject.

I have been watching Paul Beard flying his Spektrum stuff since day one out at the Bayside flying field. I have also watched Paul going from a below average heli pilot to a very good pilot! Paul says all you have to do is fly 5 or 6 times a day 7 days a week for 3 years!

I have added this Edit to Say that All of Pauls flying is in the interest of Product Development and Testing!

Happy Flying,
Cherokee Jim Mahoney

Hey Jim, you still haven't found this phantom AMA study. Get back to work finding it.

One of two reasons:

1) He really is Jim Mahoney but the AMA is still working on analyzing the benefits of switching from AM to FM radios.

2) He's full of poop.

I am looking, I called the AMA today and talked to I believe Michael Ramsey who said:

That their test are mostly concerned with how the different radios interact with each other in real life flying field situations. He had not heard of the results I had. They are doing retesting of all radios, XPS included.

Happy Flying,

Strange fonts and personalities aside, Thank you so very much Kiwi for all your efforts. The great side line masses have learned much from this thread.
I have learned that Jr/Spectrum and Futaba have lived up to my expectations. They have provided what they advertised. My confidence has been raised to almost the point of purchasing the JR/ spectrum system.

Xps and Assan would have never been one of my choices. The clincher was back at the release of XPS. They delayed release for months do to a lack of plastic boxes from China.
BA HAHA AAAHA finding plastic box from China! BA HA AH HA HA HA Ha

The long list of "excuses" for delayed shipping were quite laughable and I'm surprised that so many folks swallowed them. Remember that once the plastic was done, there were no screws to be had for love nor money?

And then the website broke

and then...

Funny thing.. I got a spam just yesterday from a Chinese company offering to make custom injection-molded plastic parts to my specs/design with a turnaround measured in *days*.

I guess things much have changed in that part of the market

I can't complain about shipping from China. I order batteries direct from a factory in China to save a few bucks. I place the order on a Monday, Pay by PayPal, and the batteries are on my doorstep by Friday, or the following Monday at the latest. And they are high quality batteries.

Dick,

Could you please let us in on this nice battery deal? What's their website?

I heard there is video out there that proves I'm a hot Swedish bikini model. However I did some calling around to find it and they said it was just a video showin how Swedish bikini models interact with each other in real life outdoor cafeteria situations. They are redoing the video of Swedish bikini models, myself included.
