Default RE: ELECTRONICS SETUP on GAS PLANE

Location sensitive, yes, I fly Spektrum, Hitec, Futaba and soon JR with xtream link and Hitec. (I cant give up my JR TX's) I could care less what brand I fly. I fly at 2 fields and yes I have had no hits at one field for over 3 years of using Spektrum. The other field is in an industrial area and Spektrum gets hit, and no one can give me a good explanation for it. This video shows exactly what happens to us at that field. Now we have a video of what happens and on this plane there are no switches. This plane had Voltage feedback to the TX display, on board video with sound, recording the plane finder beeping that it has lost signal (less than 300 feet away) for over 6 seconds, Motor turning on and off, ECS resetting…..Plenty of data. How is this a set-up issue, battery issue, pilot error? No other radio at that field is having a problem, would you believe no hits or problems with Futaba or Hitec, NONE.. I wish Spektrum guys would come to our field to test what is going on. I am glad it works for you, I wish it would for us. Why would I use a system that has issues at one location and not the other, I stopped using Spektrum on all planes that I traveled with and stopped using Spektrum at the problem field. What good is a system that I only can trust at a field that it out where there is no apparent interference?
