Well, the foot of snow we had on Sunday is gone, the flying field is dry and the temp was about 60, so it was a good day to get out at lunchtime and do some tests.
My new Shadow 3 was put in my beater ICON and range tested. It showed slightly better range than the hitec superslim that was in it before. All directions were good so I launched and specked it out and no problems were observed. My buddy Mike Verzuh came along and slammed his 57 module in and we were going to see how in handled interference. We were very impressed. As long as I was a few feet closer to the model, I had full control, as we got next to each other the receiver would kick into failsafe. I set the failsafe to 3/4 landing mode (flaps and elevator comp) and some left rudder. I got some altitude and turned off the transmitter. There were no glitches or wierdness - it simply put the flaps down and started a slow circling descent. I let it run for about 30 seconds, then turned back on and control was instantly back. All in all very impressive for a PPM receiver. Jim RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
