Well said David! I totally agree with that! What we do is so amazing. Most folks don't get it. But I still wouldn't change what I'm using right now. If I was to buy a radio it would be a Graupner MC 12 or 24(JR). now, I would guess that could be 2.4.. I'd still have to see or hear of better

The big deal for me? Because of the huge surge to go with 2.4. There is a lot of discontent towards the old 72 MHz. And pilots are selling off the 72 stuff everywhere... I am enjoying the low! Low! Prices on Stylus radio's and radio accessories! I think it's all good! It's a win, win

You guys can feel the difference from faster servos, servos with higher resolution, see or sense the slightest bubble in lift, detect the slightest change in the air, feel the air temp changes yet the fact that spektrum is measurably faster is somehow lost on human senses? On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at

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

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
