I now have a much more connected feel to my jets.
I was never pleased with the servo movement with the Wea system. It was smooth using my JR12x in PPM (8channels), very choppy in PCM and in between both on my Futaba12FG. I think the conversion process from PPM or PCM signal is what increases the latency.
I hope all this is resolved for you fellows with the BAT.

Well, I have been flying Weatronics since the very first, don't notice any latency, or servo roughness; use all varieties of their receivers, Tiny to 30 servo Gizmo, models from an electric Tomboy to big Hawks and BVM F4. Use 2 12Xs and a10x on S PCM. (10. on ppm) just bought another Micro 12 G 111 for my DG303. So, I thought I must be missing something. Today I Tried a couple of receivers and Txs, response is so fast I can't detect ANY latency, servo resolution is very precise, as good as I have seen and I have been flying proportional rc since 1966. This can be seen clearly when adjusting servo points on GigaControl, the servo responds to even one step in the 4096 points available. Servos used were an old 4131 and brand new 8411 HV.
So, your results Mike, seem very strange, very strange indeed. I have no experience of Futaba equipment.
Last week, a friend was flying my PST Reaction, he complained it was TOO responsive.
Anyway, my experience with a lot of this Weatronics equipment is that a 12x so equipped is a VERY capable radio control system, more than able to meet the demands of 99 % tof model jets, so don't fret about the BAT, it will come ! Until it is here and fully programmed I, for one, are more than happy to continue with my JR radios with Weatronics Transmitter modules and the incredibly capable receivers. Together they form a really superb system, let there be no doubt about it!
For those interested, JR 12x module type transmitters are still available from RC Japan at a very reasonable price.
As soon as the BAT 60 is working with Micro receivers, UK fliers will be able to get hands-on, flying experience on my PST Reaction.
