OK, add me to those flying on 2.4 GHz. I tested out my new Spektrum module in my Futaba 9C today. I put an AR6100 into an Easy Glider Electric and put the plane up and out about as far as I have ever had the Easy Glider. I sent the plane up-wind figuring if I lost connection the wind would bring it back toward me. After all this is Spektrums short range receiver.
I had no problems at all, other than that the plane got small enough that I occasionally lost it in the sky and was having problems with orientation. I can guestimate that it was up about 1000 feet and probably down field from me perhaps 1800 feet, but that is all a guess. So, first test went well. Range on the AR6100, at least in this plane, seems fine. I am going to leave it in there for further testing. My target for the AR6100 is really my foam and glass slope planes which are 2M or less and typically not flown out as far as my thermal planes. Then I will work on my electrics planes and 2M planes. My first 3M will probably be a fiberglass Airtronics Legend using an AR7000 receiver. Clear Skies and Safe Flying Ed Anderson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
