disclaimer: No frogs were hurt or poked in the making of this video
I know you hurt that little frogy! I bet you tied him up ,cut him real slow and held a match under his foot while he squealed and hollered ,with an evil grin on you face.

Why? I say just the opposite. We all need to continue the dialog and make folks aware of the XPS short comings.

I think that this should stay alive....for now!

I also think that KIWI and XJET should start up a new "NO HOLDS BARRED , NO BIASED what so ever comparison between all the systems that are available.


IF JD wants to save any face what so ever , he needs to jump in on this comparison and PROVE his systems worth , and explain to Kiwi and XJET exactly how they should induce a hop , or at least show them a way to not get the system to go into fail safe when another system , or anything in 2.4 is turned on.

Honestly.....you guys that support XPS , this is your chance to help out. get JD to come forward and get in this brawl and let ALL OF US as modeler's and pilots come together and find out.....


WHAT IS THE MOST ROBUST SYSTEM OUT THERE???

I know i'm really curious to see how all these systems stack up against each other....aren't you?


And If you think a certain system "should" be tested in a certain way , ( that is REAL WORLD..and will help you out at the field)...Then for the love of Pete.....PLEASE TELL THEM!!

After these tests are done , there will be NO DOUBT in which what systems are are at the head of the pack.

JD....if you read this , please will you join in and show what your system can do?

FG members are mostly a savvy bunch, do WE need more awareness? A quick glance at the main Radio forums at both RCU and RCGroups, both with MUCH greater traffic than FG, and much greater "newbie" factor (folks who might buy an XPS unit) show no current "XPS Awareness" threads. Seems like if somebody was truely interested in getting the word out, those would be the places where maximum exposure could be realized, no?

But having a thread like this is very useful - because it can be linked to from those other sites to save restating the facts. That benefits FG (more traffic), benefits those seeking to present the facts (less retyping required) and benefits those who are looking for some objective information.

The only people who don't benefit are JD/XPS and those who haven't yet had any major problems with the system and therefore still worship at the altar of XPS.

Thjere is NO WAY that JD would EVER do that. He can't. Because he himself knows his system is inferior. He just wants the cash and is very willing to lie to get it. He has proven that time & time again.

I didn't see any links at the other sites? We get almost daily updates here, seems like the members of those other sites are missing out on all this info.

Don't worry, there are plenty of links even though JD has deleted the ones that were posted in the XPS support forum on RCG.

None of them are on the front pages of the main radio forums, the XPS support forum isn't what I was talking about. JD can't delete in the main forums as far as I know. I had to go 8 pages back into the radio forum on RCU to find a thread with "XPS" in the title, and 13 pages back into the radio forum on RCGroups. Doesn't appear that the pertinent information that we have here is at the forefront of those sites, it's like preaching to the choir here while heathens are languishing in the wastelands out there.

No need to close this thread down, there's a thread on this site dedicated to nothing but an attempt to be the world's longest (good luck on that) that's a far greater waste of bandwidth than this one would ever be. Long after the novelty has worn off that, we'll still have jumping frog videos to watch.
