Sweet! Thanks for the pictures, Tom! The best "feature" to me is how small the antenna is, both in the Tx and the Rx. No more Dean's antenna needed!
The only thing I would worry about is the possibility of the main blades "golfing" your receiver off of that platform. The Trex 450 has a similar problem because people mount the gyro up high like that. Flight test! Flight test! I'm looking out my window at a near-hurricane levels of weather. I have to live vicariously through you!

If the blade on that Vario get's to the RX, then that $99 will be the least of my worries! :mrgreen:
53 MPH gust's here....the heli would blow away during a range check. Tomorrow I hope

It sounds like you have the same weather there that we have here in Boston.
One of the reasons I'm interested in the XPS system is for my Trex. That 6-channel receiver looks like it's the perfect size, especially since antenna placement is less of an issue! I also have a Herr Mini-Sport kit floating around my workshop, waiting to be built. That too would be perfect for the 6-channel XPS receiver and a 2s or 3s LiFe (A123) battery pack.

OK, I can understand the gasser bit. Although most RFI is well below 2.4GHz.
And how long has Futaba been making 2.4GHz stuff?

David-
One small flaw with your reasoning: Futaba licensed technology from Nomadio for their FASST system. They did not use their own industrial technology. -Paul |

Paul,
I never said they did. Just that they have been in the 2.4 ghz business for 15 years. Futaba RC for the hobby is just a very small part of Futaba Corporation. Most all the cars manufactuered in the USA have some type of Futaba electronics installed in them. David |

Bill,
Thank you for setting me right! That Nomadio rumor has been going around for quite a while now. You are the first Futaba representative I have seen on any of the boards correct this. -Paul |
