Lastly if a system is known to be voltage sensitive how can be defended as not having a problem?
Futaba, Hitec, Multiplex, Jr DSMJ ( feels far more solid than DSM2 but still not as good as FHSS) these are far better than DSM2 IMO.
How can I say DSM2 is rubbish? I have tried it. I don't have to own something to have a bad feeling about it. Do youhave to get married to find out if the cheerleader is money grabbing dumb blonde?</p>
PLEASE ...Get your FACTS right.....the Spektrum Full range Rx units are NO MORE sensitive to low voltage than a 7 CH FUTABA rx unit. The Director of product development for Horizon Hobby (A BILLION dollar company) published a video on this topic.....and you can SEE for yourself the Futaba 7CH rx unit going down to the SAME low voltage cutoff as the Spektrum AR7000
The spektrum (With fast connect) actually recoverd a fraction of a second faster (it was visualy obvious) but the point is BOTH units did fine, since they were BOTH still in contact with the TX far below the minimum operating voltage of the servo they were driving.....who cares!
And I wonder, how did YOU, in south africa TRY a DSMJ unit? You fly in Japan? These are limited to the Japan market, and it is probably illegal to use in South africa.....it would be in the US......
I tried to buy a DX10 - The new software in the Dx8, but it is a European Tray radio.......and confirmed it is not legal in the US.....so I left it and will eventually get a new radio, with more channels.....
My point here is Stick to the FACTS....and my investagative report indicates there are some issues at YOUR field.....so don't bash the system.....just becuse it does not work well in your environment....
The results you see in South Africa are NOT typical of what is likely to be the best selling radio system in the hobby today.....
I am sure you have some issues local to your area, again, or the container of Spektrum stuff got dropped
, at the end of the day, sorry to hear about YOUR issues, but the results are not typical....
I trust my entire fleet to my Dx7, and see guys with $30,000 jets do it every day at my field.......
Instead of bashing the product here, you guys should be proactive and get into touch with horizon support, see if some real RF guys can help figure out what is going on out there.....THAT would be productive.
