Dennis Jones Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Thanks for that I have started to read the messages and found a lot of negatives, it's that I dont fancy waisting 800 to 1000 euro on dodgy gear, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Parker Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Dennis,These threads need to be considered in the relevant context. Overall the faults (whatever cause) are few and usually far between. The threads main aims are to seek a better understanding of the systems and thereby promote better ‘housekeeping’ and reliable operation by avoidance of bad practice.

birdy Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You should remember that no-one (en less they really are quite special) would probably start a tread because its working normally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I've flown 2.4GHz for 14 months now and my 6EX has been rock solid and never missed a beat. The FF10 with 2.4 module is looking good too after about 10 hours of flying with it. For electric models and in particular higher powered electric models it's just the very best and those glitches become a thing of the past. The only folks it doesn't accomodate are carbon fuselage models which is a pity. The few issues reported - Spectrum low voltage issue and Futaba common-coding TX issue - look to have been dealt with by the distributors/manufacturers.
