Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
I gotta agree the website is a joke. Took me from 8PM Friday till 9PM Saturday to get 3 8ch rx's ordered. I really wanted 4 but felt lucky to get what I did.
The product however seems to work as advertised. I flew mine for the first time on Sunday. I tested it in my Fliton Jumping Jack as I wasn't ready to trust it to anything bigger or more expensive. Unfortunatley a 34oz plane in 25mph gusts makes it just a little difficult to get a real feel for performance. Can't say I felt more connected as others report as the wind seemed to have as much control as I did! Anyway, range tested over 400 feet on the ground (I gave up before the system). Failsafe was easy to set up and worked on the ground. Sunday's experience gave me enough confidence to move the RX to my Fliton Extra 330 freestyle. Hopefully I'll have a more thorough report next weekend. Mike |

Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
 As to the website lottery, JD posted on RCG that they had to limit stock available on the site as they sold more in the first 4 hours than they could physically ship in a week. They are adding stock to the system slowly so they can keep up with orders. Sounds like they need to do some hiring in the shipping dept! Mike |

Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
I flew the (*#&!!! OUt of my comp-arf 2.6 meter again today. XL was flawless and solid. Not a single problem. Servo response is incredible and I've reprogrammed the entire throws for the plane. Tomorrow will maiden my jet with XL from XPS. Still weird not putting in a fequ pin and pulling up an antena. I got way over 700 feet range check with the transmitter behind me and a chain link fence between me and the plane.
Good times. joe kelley |

Re: Xtreme Link Experiences
Ordered my 10-channel receiver and Futaba module on the 22nd. Still showing as "Payment Received" on the website. Hopefully it will be shipped sometime this summer.
