Fact.....

just attended bomber field 2015

Over 100 spektrum radios.....250 aircraft....500flights total

not one radio issue.

I like your NAVY Pilots Quote...I also like it that none of your equipment is recognized by spell check...LOL

Good Post

The $17 seven channel ORANGE receiver from Hobby King did not brown out running 6 Spektrum Digital Servos through the receiver.The EXACT same set up where my AR_7000 & AR-8000 had Brown Outs with only four Servos...I had removed the wings for storage when I desided to run addition tests. The ORANGE Rx could not be made to fail...

Your "Low Quality" remark does no fly.

I've seen more of those receivers die for no reason and more planes crash with them inside than any other brand. I used to say they are only good for foamies but I don't even say that anymore.

great post thanks: bombers fly scale...NOT 3-D....Scale Bombers are big Airplanes and have all the work arounds..dual power busses, four Receivers, and a thousand dollars worth of Power Supply Equipment.

Been there and done that...I agree with you 100% I can do exactly the same thing and use dual Spektrum Rx...However, I can also do it through the Rx without all the work arounds but only if I fly Scale and make gentle turns...Also I use dual Life or A-123 power Supplies.

I have some 5,000mAh can handle almost anything..

THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT.

good post miles...you neglected to say you only fly futaba and only two pilots flew spektrum at the last contest...once there were three but one crashed with no control...his set up was perfect.

yes john...we did not answer his question...sounds funny to me. Has anyone seen his question quoted???

By the way, this is the number one hottest thread on rcu...ii has been since my first post...90% are positive...only the same few try to disrupt it. However, i am sure they have a justifiable reason to try to shut it down.

Please quote me where i have insulted you....

And to stay on topic: where are the vids you promissed that made this thread sooooo popular. Some of us just can't figure it out from the hints you gave us in page 7.

you just joined a few days ago and yet you are an expert on rcu and all the posts from ages ago. Why is that?

Everything you said was missing is in this thread...so why are you saying it is not? People aske how to run the tests themselves...i answered that question and told everyone the results ( that was the reason for this thread) and yet, none of the black hat's have done anything but slander me, insult me, lie about what i posted and lied about what i said.

That's pretty dumb to pick on a man (not little boy) that can legally change your tune in a new york minute.
Would you really purger yourself and look at seven years if you were subpoenaed? I think not.

Do you think you are the majority? You are not even close. I have been extremely nice, but people like you( less than 10 out of 100) are starting to get me upset...is that what you really want? Do you want me to call in the big guns and put a quick stop to your childish remarks...because i can and i will. You sir have been added to a list you don't want to be on. One of the attorneys my family uses just got forty four million dollars settlement for a sexual harassment suit. No touching. Her supervisor just asked her to dinner three times and that's all. Get my point? The law rules...not you and your "street gang" with all your big talk. Shut it down!!!

I don't punch people anymore..;.i punch a hole in their wallet...legally.

By the way...a 4.0gpa in law was least thing i ever did. I am already world famous in aerospace, dod and automotive. And don't want or need a toy airplane popularity contest. People wanted my help with this so i did it. It was my first and only post. It brought me down to your level..i guess that makes me and idiot. Maybe not...lol

i get pm's and i always reply. Lot's of great people on this post...you are not one of them.

jmiles1941

well I didn't want to stir up this , but yes I only fly Futaba , there were 35 pilots at our contest 25 Futaba , 4 Jeti , 4 JR and 2 Spektrum , these guys know you don't want to tear up a 8 to 10 thousand dollar plane , my friend found out the hard expensive way , he is nw the proud owner of a Futaba 14 SG and we had a great contest a lot of fun

Hey Andy you going to be at the southeast IMAC Championship in November at Glenn St. Mary Fl. Shadetree ?

Since you are new even for a newcomer, some information: In this forum you do not get to vote on the closure of any thread. The solution is easy: do not open the thread, and you are done.

Then I would invite you to come out and fly and hang out any time at our field.

You have a fascinating background.

Any posts that were removed from this thread were done so because they violated RCU rules of posting, that everyone that signed up agreed to.

giodog2000

ok Gerry thats what i will do. But just to
leave u with a thought , any member insulting and calling other morons and idiot like Op just did shold be banned according to forum rules. You are right, because i'm new i don't get it.

thank you, i lived in melbourne, fl. When i lived in weston, fl i belonged to mppa..i went to usaf flight training in florida.

Imac is having a contest next week in ocalla...all my friends will be there but i don't believe i can travel.

Your friend will be there, he is my friend also, we spent the weekend at the imac contest my club hosted. We do that every year. We also put on the worlds largest swap meet in perry, georgia and have done so for 30 years.

He posts on my thread every day...it is still the number one post...must be a reason.

You make many statements of authority, plus many more earlier in the thread about how long you have been flying, USAF pilot, IMAC, pattern, 3-D, etc.. You make these statements the reason why we ought to believe what you say because of these accomplishments and experiences and disbelieve others.

Please, if you are that famous, why don't you post your name and we can Google you and apologize for ever doubting you.

Anyone can makeup any claim on the internet. Very few can back them up.

Gene,

Thank you for the reply.

I guess that is what I'm having problems with in this conversation and why the thread is so frustrating.

You have made very specific claims, state that you have video and will post it, but offer no evidence other than repeated claims about your achievements in RC and many unrelated fields.

Direct evidence is just that; and is what it is. Little has been provided.

Argument from authority (4.0 in law school, fighter pilot, big planes I have flown, IQ 176, etc) is problematic, and a logical fallacy. That said, I'm going to give a lot more credence to something my doctor says about my health. Just because he says it doesn't make it true, but it is a lot more likely to be true than if someone without the education or experience said it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority

At this point neither data nor any evidence of authority has been offered. But there has been plenty of heat, light, and sound from all sides.

But that's OK. I did a little work on Google and quickly found you on another RC forum and your self-posted work history on another public site and have formed my own opinion (The same opinion might develop from reading this thread).

My summary is that we are still where we started, and it is unlikely that the discussion is going to go any farther.

• If the voltage to a receiver falls below a certain threshold the receiver stop functioning (Someone once posted information about the voltage threshold on several different brands. They were all within a couple 10ths of a volt from each other. Spektrum did not have the lowest threshold on that test.). This is referred to as a brown out.
• The leading cause for these unexpected brownouts is the power system being unable to maintain an adequate voltage due to either the voltage drop of the battery under load and/or electrical resistance in the system due to small gauge wire, bad connections, etc.
• There are many battery packs, such as 4-cell NiMh, that are inadequate for aircraft whose control systems require significant amounts of power. You must utilize an appropriate battery chemistry, size, and configuration.
• Many large planes, with higher power requirements due to control surface size, number of control surfaces, speed, control surface deflection, etc., may require separate power sources for the receiver and the electrical control system.
• These considerations are true for every receiver manufacturer

Personally, I would like for receiver manufacturers to publish their power ratings, both in terms of mA per channel and amps total. But, truth be told, very few people know the actual control system power requirements of their planes under flight conditions.

BTW - It is nice to see your blog and forum posts on that other forum that are not in all caps!
