Neither defending nor condemning. I am adamantly against unproven claims, false accusations, made up stories.

If there is a fact great. If it is not a fact then don't try to make it so. The test that this thread is based on does not test for XPS hoping. Yet, the title would have you believe it does. JD never stated that the antenna was isotropic yet they claimed that spherical coverage was a lie. Yet, we do have spherical coverage. Claimed that a certain chip in XPS was over clocked. It was not. Claimed that the XBee chip could not do what is was doing. It can. Claimed the XBee chip could not jump. It can. So far none of the accusations has been proven true. Showing the ticking servo (fixed and only with the 9Z) is less valid than keeping a Spectrum v1 around so you can see the elevator go randomly down. Claims that failsafe does not work. I've tried turning off my TX with an A/C in the air. It works. Claims that they could not link multiple RX with the TX. I have twenty RX and two TX and have always been able to link them. The list of unproven lies and and just plain BS goes on and on.

On the aircraft in question, I am still not certain about the cause, nor have I come to an absolute decision. Is 1800 to 2000 flights with those two enough. I just don't know. I continue to fly XPS, as I continue to fly Spectrum. I am not so sure about using my Fasst equipment until Futaba has the courage to take some more positive steps, rather than a wet towel over the AC.

What I want is proof of a specific error or problem not conjecture, stories or lies. If there was a specific flaw it would be lost in all the trash being posted.
