The FASST system is supposedly the safer one.
I do not recall ever seeing or hearing that. I know that Futaba does not feel that way.
In real life, you probably never see any difference between FASST and FHSS.
I put a S-FHSS RX in one of my high end gliders and flew it like normal Did not notice any difference in performance. So go figure. I could still fly it until it was a dot in the sky.
BTW, here is wht Futaba says about FHSS:
Futaba introduced FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) systems in 2010, to offer modelers a less expensive way to enjoy 2.4GHz dependability. Other advantages include extremely low latency, exceptionally fast frame rates, transmitters with no external antennas and low-cost receivers with Easy Link convenience.
As the name implies, the transmitter signal of an FHSS system literally hops from frequency to frequency in a pseudorandom sequence. The combination of frequency hopping with Futaba's advanced algorithms creates 100% frequency security.
