Re: [RCSE] What's the big deal about 2.4?
The attraction is primarily for those who fly at contests or in areas of crowded frequencies. You see if you go to a moderately sized contest you will be forced to share a frequency pin with one or even more of your 72 MHZ brethren. If one of them screws up and flips on their TX ( assuming there is no TX impound) You may likely lose your aircraft. The last contest of the season for me is a prefect example. I am just getting my legs in TD and F3J having only flown RC for maybe 4 years max. I flew at every major contest for the last two years. At the last big tournament some guy shows up with my frequency and we are both forced to impound our TX's for the entire weekend checking with the impound manager and the other pilot for the frequency pin every time I wanted to tweak my plane, fly a round or even check the battery life on my TX (ok I could do that with the Stylus without a signal but the impound manager would fill his/her pants) So not only do I have to consider that at this contest there were several northwest contenders in TD but I have to contend with the potential of a shoot down if the conflict system fails. I distinctly remember the background stress this added to the contest. I would have been glad to simply be able to turn on and go For that I would be happy to fart around with technically painful solutions. Unfortunately, I have to buy planes for the WC and the extra 1400 for two 2.4 systems is just not in the budget. I also could benefit from 2.4 as I fly at relatively long distances and my private field which is a monster hay field is right on the edge of the frequency range of another small R/C flight field close by. People show up, see no one else at their field and power on all the time the thought crossed my mind today when I had a split second glitch on my flaps. Food for thought - these are the main considerations for me. Others might be attracted to the feature rich options that this bandwidth offers and several new idiot proof solutions in the new TX's that stop you from using the wrong model memory with the wrong plane etc. All good reasons to get the solution working and lets face it. R/C Soaring pilots are almost certainly always itching to do the impossible. When someone says you can't install 2.4 in a carbon fuse you know they are going to fire up the collective hive (my appologies to Startrek) and come up with a solution. We are the high end geeks of the R/C community after all (said with distinction I might add) David Webb On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 11:26 PM, Joe Parsons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been using my trusty Stylus with Glider Card for almost as long as I've been serious about the sport.

[RCSE] What's the big deal about 2.4? Ask Don Quixote
The current 2.4 excitement is partly deserved and partly justified. At the moment it gives rc pilots a new freedom...it has taken frequency consideration and a need for its administration, concern out of the equation of rc soaring...in a way its like there isn't radio waves being used as part of our hobbyits as though we are preparing a free flight airplane, there isn't any thinking about 'channels'. That freedom means that our minds to can shift to other components of the flight when we come to the field...and preparing the flightthe absence of radio. We still have controls to fool with but that's where it stops. Having said that, 72 has worked safely, does work safely and will continue to work safely. Arguments could be made that if anything it will be even safer and easier to use, with the drop in its population of users. Sure the doomsday guy will throw out the possibility that channel-consideration by pilots will be come lax ...making 72 a dangerous gamble. Clothespins and freq boards will come to disrepair and with it the discipline we all learned to respect as gospel on the field. Possible, but not realistic. I highlighted at the moment because 2.4 is in its sailplane infancy, ( and actually the term 2.4 is only a nickname for these kind of systems because they all currently share the same rf frequency right now there are at least two kinds of systems using 2.4) we can't tell for sure what the future holds when the 2.4 population expands course with the population of sailplane pilots decreasing as our age increases:-( What price that freedom?

Re: [RCSE] What's the big deal about 2.4? Ask Don Quixote
Good stuff. Don't scare everyone off with the cost. You can get a module and receiver for about half as much that will allow you to retain 72mhz and use 2.4ghz. This is the avenue I have taken.

Re: [RCSE] What's the big deal about 2.4? - COST?
In a message dated 3/6/08 7:17:57 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What price that freedom? About $650 for the TX and one RX. With a little careful shopping you can get started with a 2.4 system for much less than the $650.00 stated. I started about a year ago with a DX7 from an ebay site for $150.00 (NIB) and a 6100 receiver (6 channel, no remote) for $45.00. I then added another DX7 for about $150.00 and several receivers at various prices. Today these prices still exist, but you must look for them. In addition, Airtronics now has an RD8000 2.4 that is available for about $229.00 with a receiver. For another approach, Xtreme offers modules and receivers in a combo package for $200.00. You can use your existing transmitter. Of course JR also offers modules for some JR transmitters. These support all the Spektrum receivers using the DSM2 system. And for those of you with unlimited resources (Bubba), Futaba has the 14MZ 2.4 system for just a little over $2,000.00 For me, the paramount advantage is frequency freedom. I fly at several sites where frequency control is sparse to non existent. At some sites, it is not uncommon for a flyer, usually accompanied by his children, to walk out on the field and attempt to fly without regard to frequency control. I like the security of knowing they cannot affect my operations. I also like the capability of stopping anywhere, anytime and launching my DLG or E Blaster with impunity. The 2.4 system basically permits the world to be your flying field. Additionally, I fly quite a few electric powered models of all sizes and shapes and like the fact that the 2.4 system does not permit motor glitches to affect operation (the glitches still are generated, but their frequency does not affect the 2.4 system). So come on in the water's fine. Start modestly if you prefer, but do it! PS: Here is the 2.4 model list to date: Supra, Rogue 2.0, Blaster, E Blaster, Twin Star, Traveler, Robbie, Slo-Stick, .40 Cub, Small Cub, Dart and soon ICON, XP5 and SBXC.

RE: [RCSE] What's the big deal about 2.4? - Lag...okay now we are getting silly
The lag argument is well...goofy. I have heard the Heli guys say they notice a difference, which actually makes some sense. The Heli is far more susceptible to lag than perhaps any other radio controlled device. I have also heard the IMAC guys say they notice a difference. Maybe they do...but I kinda doubt it. We dial in Expo to reduce the stick glitch, yet we are told that response is a bigger deal than perhaps it is. Like I saidgoofy.

I will add this and leave it alone. My flying went from constant correcting of over correcting to having the plane respond the way I wanted it. And nothing, not practice, faster servos, expo, dual rates, speed, etc... improved the 'smoothness' of my flying like the spektrum. If you guys don't feel it that's fine, but the same guys that were questioning the viability of 2.4 in carbon fused sailplanes are now touting its merits.
