Today I was using a 9303 2.4 system thermaling a Supra at the Syosset NY field, the systems reaction speed didn't help much when my batteries ran out :-(. Lucked out with just a ding or two...but the worse part was I didn't get one of the two last 30 minute flights I need to complete the Silver level of the Canadian Soaring Society.
You need 6 30's on a short landing tape (or you can sub 6 60min slope flights, 6 2min precision flights (+/- 2 seconds) with short landings. A 1K Goal and Return too. The air was there but the sink cycles kept killing the flights at 25mins :-(. I wiggled the sticks really fast but it didn't help ;-). This Latency thread is a good one, the more we can learn about the new digital systems the better. At the upcoming SEFF meet (electrics) they have organized a world record attempt of most RC planes in the air at once...in the past they were limited by the 50 channels and Hamm bands but this time they have allowed 40 2.4 ships to join in. Now that is the interesting thing and the part that most fits this thread...why only 40 2.4s? By the way I ran a test today with some Germans who had a UAV system working a quad rotor recon ship...about 1meter diameter ship, likely about 1/4 million+ for the system. It uses 900mhz (just under actually) for control and 2.4 for the video feed back, but fairly strong output. They were very interested to see if it would bother my system or mine theirs...but no effect (according to their data and my Flight Log).
