Hi all first post,so a big hello from north carolina.
Well ive been watching these threads from all the forums,and ill just say that im flabbergasted by the amount of people who have stuck their heads in the sand over this issue.
First and foremost,all of the 2.4's have had growing pains,pretty much any new electronic system does.Be it buggy software or bad layouts or poor implementation,everything will go through some form of growing pains.The hallmark of a good company will be how it implements a fix,ie..futaba doing a recall and setting up testing centers,spektrum upgrading for free anyones rx to the newer firmware and fast reconnects.These are traits that are desired of any company that wants to gain or keep my business.All I have seen from XPS and JD is denial that they have any sort of problems.I cant count how many owners I have seen berated for having supposed poor setups that caused their crash( never XPS's fault)
I would love to know the exact post count that JD has deleted from folks that said anything bad about his baby.And it is totally laughable that anyone who is as system savvy as JD claims to be would even dare to say that true bench testing is worthless.
On Kiwi's vid I could see futabas faast hopping like a bunny.Ive seen the twin signals from spektrum,that they never ever have claimed can hop just sit there and do their 2.4 thing.The only system that has not done what it has claimed it can do is XPS.
The best ones are the replies of "well mine has worked great for 2 years "so your full of beans.Well i am glad that XPS has worked for these folks,and I truly hope it continues to,buuut(theres always a but)if you do get locked out and your new whizbang 4banger retractable gear biplane decides to eat dirt,I hope that you l remember all these tests when your told that you elevator servo was not aligned with jupiter and the rings of saturn and its all your fault.
And last,to Daemon concerning the DX7/6100 in the glider.Please inform your friend that the 6100 is classified from spektrum as a parkflier rx and as such,is not suitable for a glider.Tell them to get a 6200 rx as it is a full range rx with the needed satellite rx.
Kiwi your tests are great and I cant wait to see them all finished and posted.
see Y'all later
