PCM or PPM that is the question!
Another vote for PPM!!
Nice to see noise problems in the early stages... There are two ways to tell if your $1500 machine has noise problems...
1. The PPM way: flying along when your heli gitches, you see the glicth and think nothing of it. A few seconds later you get another glicht. You put down as fast as possable for diagnostics and save yourself $1500.
2. The PCM way: flying along for 2 hours when your helicopter goes to idle and stops responding; 20 feet inverted at 40 MPH. Oops, that cost $1550.
Just two days ago my rappy glitched on me and smacked the ground from 4 feet up (NO DAMAGE!). I did a range check and I have 16 feet before it goes crazy. If this was PCM it may have froze on me while doing FFF. I used to have PCM but seeing how much better PPM is for this reason I changed. Glad I did! I may have saved myself $400.
Now if I had a gasser I would go with PCM!!!
