| Say it all you want - Joining in April 2008 with 100% of your posts in the XPS threads defending XPS and no location in your profile certainly does not bolster your claim. Location: San Jose California 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. Sincerely, Frank Herbert Annapolis, MD owner of Kraft 3 channel and Airtronics Infinity 1000 Observer of Frank Noll Sr since he was 4 years old

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.

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

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

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.
