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

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

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. On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 10:17 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The current 2.4 excitement is partly

These two reasons are why I like the 2.4 system. And I will add one other, the response really is better. For the first time in my flying the plane is doing what I want when I want it, I don't have to compensate by anticipating the lag. On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 12:23 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

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 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
