Well the article you posted is from 2005 and was for a 3 ch system.. It is also listed this as the range: Range: 3,000 ft. Things may have changed a little since that article was written. And the 2.4 ghz aircraft radios only came on the market in late 2006. David |

The only people with more than 1024 resolution on a Spektrum are test/beta pilots and they have 2048. At least on the helicopter radios.

Oh, now I get it...
Thanks for the clarification, guys! So, it seems that FASST for the 14MZ is the way to go! Thanks again ;-) |

The only one with more than 12+ channels and feature rich is the 12-14 series, currently that I know of.
I have been know to be wrong before. Won't be the first or last time. With the Futaba FASST modules you still get the same channels, and features not less. AND no dangling wires. Accident waiting to happen IMO. I use up to 11 channels so far, no matchboxes, all servos on their own channels and ganged servos travel matched inside the tx. My backordered 2.4GHz module is on it's way(This Friday). I will use either 72MHz or 2.4GHz for different flying locations. Sounds like Futaba will have the SW soon. Glad I did not do overnight shipping now. I would rather have the module and wait a few days for the SW verses the other way around. Shipping delay verses downloading the SW. But it would be nice if both together. I think they were hoping the holiday shipping would delay the units until the SW was posted but I think the holidays got them, both here and overseas. I would rather have a delay for a last minute ?? fix than loose a plane! Are they delaying to get the region lock stuff done? Why neuter a 12-14MZ with only 8 channels and have a cable hanging out? |

Hey tkilwein and Bison! Don't forget taking pictures, videos and posting your comments after... we're all VERY curious about the behaviour of those ;-)

I am going to test the P out of it.
I want to get in on the next backorders for jan if it looks good. I have a $20 coupon to use shortly. If it all looks good this weekend I will be placing another backorder this coming monday. Risk buy somewhat. I should be able to get in 1-3 hours of flying (weather permitting) and beating it up with outside interference. (WIFI, cell-cordless phones, network hubs, gas DA100 ignition-caps not grounded, electric speed-controller motors from 11v@30A up to 25v@87A etc). I have all batteries charged and waiting. |
