Well. . it sure would X-jet. . . .you need to remember, it only needs to function for a "little while". . . .then it has officialy "worked", and can be sold to t he public. If it blows itself into tiny molecules of super-heated tin and lead due to over current AFTER it has "worked". . who are we to say it never worked???

Wow, 350 Amps, that is alot of magic smoke.

Sure looked like the crickets were chirping at the XPS booth . . .

Did he have any Blenderm Tape?

I was hoping to see pictures of the lynch mob.

[jonkoppisch]

Probably what's worse is no mob at all...

[Foamaholic]

Maybe so. However, pictures can be deceiving.

You should have come to JN, Jon. . you could have helped get more "surveillance shots", and we could have set up a "Jim Drew Watch" . .people designated to follow him and sit in front of his rig, keeping an eye on him.

You wouldn't let me bring my fire ants

What were the xps demo pilots doing/flying? I saw a pic of them standing around but...

There was a jet, do not remember it flying, and some gliders . .definitely do not recall them in the air.

[jonkoppisch]

Gliders? That sounds like a good match for xps!!!!!

I wonder if Kiwi went over and discussed the vid with jd?

Jim is not only banning people, but he is now editing individual posts made by others, to his own liking. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...9&postcount=64 You would think that he'd be busy editing his hopping algorithm, or studying up on basic electrical theory.

[jonkoppisch]

I saw that!!! Falls right in line with everything else...

You think that with RCG being the parent company of FG now, that JD will get his own little "I can moderate it if I want" thread here on FG???

I sure hope not!!!

If that happens, I'm outta here. . .

There goes the neighborhood....

[sweetpea]

He probably can if he has his own forum here, as can any other manufacturer and they all edit/delete threads (per RCG, don't know if FG will be like that now that they are in charge).

This thread is not in an XPS forum (currently FG doesn't have one).

I do find it quite hilarous that all the Critics that went to JN didn't have the gall to confront XPS in person and discuss any issues. Keyboard huckers! But we had far away pictures taken and folks talking about how empty the booth was?

When my plane crashed and I found out they were in town, I confronted them. I asked the hard questions! Some answers I liked, some answers I didn't. The ones I didn't caused me to wait to put XPS back into my GS planes. I'm still waiting and unfortunantly its been over a year. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move on instead of waiting. I already moved my GS to Spektrum (main reason.....so I don't accidently shoot someone else's plane down! I can afford to lose my own stuff, but I can't afford to pay for someone else's plane). I've been flying my smaller planes on XPS, but carrying two 2.4 systems is really silly.

Had I made the JN (which I want to, but just can't get the time off work).....I would have been there asking about the "new" hopping, Telemetry, satellites and talking about Kiwi's video. My most important question would have been......tell me the conditions it would take to hop (no matter how technical in detail it would be) since it hasn't been defined.

I of course wouldn't have been at the booth calling them liars and everything. I would have been proffessional about it.

NOTE: There may have been some FG members that did do this or something similar and have just not posted yet. I look forward to any information they may have gathered.
