I guess your right in the competiton sense.......it kinda is. But not quite the way you mentioned it. More like.....for this specific plane/battery/price etc combo what is the correct choice.

I was thinking along these lines. Realize I don't have all the technical crap infront of me right now so some of my numbers are off but I hope you get the idea. I plan to create a table that would display info accross evenly.

Spektrum (current version)

$*** module (fits most module radios)
$** Rx
$*** combo
* year warranty
(2) * in antenna on main RX
ability to hook up 2 satellite RX's with 2 antennas each
ability to hook up multiple main RX's each with their own satellites
locates 2 freqs and stay on them at start up, does not switch
Rx shut down at 3.7v (reboot time of 1 sec) and what servos/motor do at shutdown
capacitor fix for voltage
New Power box type RX for high power consumption planes
End pins (JR plugs need to be plugged in opposite of JR RX's)
Data logger to determine fades and holds. Must be done before power off and cannot be done realtime.
Dedicated radio (DX6/7)
Jr has dedicated spektrum radio (X9303)

Future (no timeline)---

JR dedicated 12X




XPS V*
$*** module (fits most module radios)
$** Rx
$**** combo
Lifetime replacement warranty for any reason
(1) * in antenna on RX
scans to one free signal at start up
No ability to use dual RX format like 72mhz
Freq hop on gradual increase of noise floor (sudden increase no hop)
Rx shut down at 3.1v (reboot time of 1 sec) and what servos/motor do at shutdown
Top pins (end pins for 6ch and others coming)
XDP software to program RX through PC and update software
2 way communication

Future (no timeline)---
Freq hop on all noise level increases
Real Time telemetry
Satellites
universal module that plugs into trainer cord for non module radios
Complete integrated radio version




This was just a quick example.....all the actual fact info in one quick spot. You can then compare radios FACTS without the manufacturer advertising spins or users saying JR is the best because I said so crap.

You should then be able to say......

I'll have a 40% comp arf with some CF in the gear/motorbox with Smartfly equip running a123 batts...I fly IMAC and 3-D with these servos at this voltage.
my budget is approx this. Will the system fit my needs?


Agree/disagree with the format?
