Very interesting thread... let's see some more flight tests!

FWIW, here are the best zip ties in the world... They will never get brittle or come loose! If they are good enough for fullscale, then they are good enough for RC!

YEP!

Flew the He!! out of my 2.6 XPS today. It works awesome on my 9C. Very connected and good. Broke control horn trying to break the XPS link on flight 5. Not one single problem with XPS, range check was 350' and still going. Great day. Jim Drew will be very busy selling these and counting his money. ~~). Coolest product of the year award goes to him. Great price too!~). Safer fields as well. I need a few more receivers too. My F16 goes up next.

I see the High Speed tape is in the wrong place.

That should be on your plane

Has anyone hooked one of these receivers up to a Smart-Fly Power Expander? I was just wondering if the leads from the expander to the receiver are long enough. The JR has end load and the XPS has more a top load.
