Here is what everyone that flys R/C knows for right now. I only speak to GS size planes in these descriptions.

FASST/Spektrum passed Kiwi's test, XPS didnot. How valid that test is to real world is debatable and will be debated for a long time.

XPS has a predictive hop method that until recently had not been shown in any tests to exist. A few reports that it happened at the field but no actually video of it on a scope switching. Many felt that the predictive method wasn't valid for realworld situations. Again debatable

Another point was that FASST/Spektrum accepted multiple main RX's to be used at the same time. XPS did not. With FASST using 2 antenna and Spektrum using at a min 3 (including the satellite) there is a greater chance that you would not have an object interfere with the RX getting the signal in all attitudes of flight. While XPS claims more antenna are not needed, many flyers (including myself) wanted more antenna. Others felt that more was an absolute

XPS new method is similar to FASST. It hops all the time. So far no one is disputing this. There is still resistance and talk about the first method because XPS lists this as an upgrade not a "fix". Had it been a fix instead of an upgrade there would still be those that slam the company for finally admitting a fault. Such is the life of business, as you can never satisfy everyone. The new version also offers the ability to bind as many RX's as you wish and the ability to have satellites (of which are still not released).


So there you have everything in a nutshell. There is still alot of he said this and only this is true/false etc but without all the B.S. that above is what it boils down to.
