Xtreme Link Experiences
Since the Xtreme Link System was released this weekend, I was hoping to create a thread for all to participate in its installation as well as any progress reports on the newly released units and technology.
Let get the ins and outs down for everyone to see. |

Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
Conradical and I spent a good amount of time at the XPS table trying to get all the information we could out of them, before they wanted to kill us. I'm not entirely sure of this 2.4GHz stuff yet, so if i get any of systems out there, it will only go in smaller stuff, like 50cc and under. They made it sound really good though.
I asked 'my' question, range. Answer: 5 miles. much different then the "line of sight" mentioned by the other systems. We'll see

Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
 I didn't ask them about line of sight, but it should be no different than any other 2.4 ghz system. It's still the same short wavelength which has more difficult passing thru objects than something like 72mhz. Shouldn't be a problem still -it's not like we're putting this in a concrete plane

Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
XPS guys are flying home today! Then a day or so to fix there sever or maybe a redirect. I have heard they have 35K units that need to be assembled. As soon as the site is up you will be able to order and they will ship as they are completed. I hear they have been putting in some crazy hours at the shop.

Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
Just wondering if there is anything under the Velcro holding the RX and Matchboxes in?/ I know I keep harping on this, but is Velcro enough for vibration isolation?/ Is one little smashed piece of blue G-Pack foam enough?? When weirdness happens how sure can we be that vibration was not the culprit?/
And finally, why are we so cavalier with our big planes. When we flew 40-sized planes would could not get enough foam around the electronics. But with big gassers we are not so much worried about it. Why not?? ANd I am not picking on you Mr. Pea, just using your photo for a launch point for my latest rant!!
