RE: Dx8 to futaba?
ok this debate is very amusing.!
first i must admit that i crahsed a p-51 due to a brownout.My lack of knowledge of ni-mh battery resulted in a crash.
4.8v is not the best for spektrum. i left the plane sitting in my basement for a week and head for the flying field and crack!!! i didnt know about self discharge or did not remember!!!! hey i was back to the hobby after 20 years.DX8 was the radio.
After some research i came to the conclusion that my flight pack was not sufficiently charged.Cause back on the ground everything was fine!but when stirring the stick the receiver red LED was flashing sauing that a brownout occured.
After my homeworks i switched all my flight pack to LIFE and all the problems are gone. my biggest bird is an aeroworks extra 300,dle20cc,5 digital servos and ignition powered by the same packs of 2200mah.After 3 flights of 7 mins it needs 440mah to top it off.
So my conclusion is Spektrum is as good as the wiring and battery you put in your plane.
