Default RE: Another RC Product Idea!

Hi, I remember that thread.

The trouble is you are a little late with two major players already with product on the selves. That can be a problem with the relitively small market within the modeling community you have targeted.

Those two are Eagle Tree Systems and Hitecs Full Telemetry when pared with the Aurora Tx system.

I have the Hitec system up and running fully now, just do not need all the temps. This includes GPS position coordinates, ground speed, altitude, two different types of RPM sensor, four temperature sensors, fuel tank level and on board battery levels.

My chief use is for some cross country work and the main desired sensors for that are the fuel level, ground speed, battery voltage and altitude readouts for this.

Also Spectrum or JR I beleve are very close to releasing if not already their telemetry products.

This is the test bed for my set up which will soon be transfered to the new cross country ship. Dang I hope they release their voice prompts with sexy lady soon.

You mentioned something though I would love to have to experiment with in some of my Pylon racers and that is an accelerometer sensor. I would love a real time info on G loads at the pole.
