Leo-

I thought about that, which is why I went to 2 different fields which both range tested great, but I think you are probably right anyway. For the Mini-Edge, I bought the brand spankin' new Spektrum DX6 kit. How's that for a jump- 27 mhz to 2.4 ghz. That was one of the reasons I bought it. It only came with one receiver of course (itty-bitty thing, too, can barely fit the servo plugs in it,) and I have that in a heli. Helis don't glide well without power, so I'm keeping it there for now. I've got 2 more receivers backordered since mid-December, but they don't even have a date yet. Plus they are $60 a pop, and then you have to buy a speed control, which if you're going to do that, might as well upgrade the motor, and.... it never stops, does it?

A local member of a club with 20 years exp. has offered to instruct me, so I'll start from scratch this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. Trying on my own I had to make alot of assumptions, and probably did some things that are going to look pretty silly after I see them fly... I'm probably going to have them fly the Decathlon this weekend. It doesn't have a buddy box connection. I just want to make sure that it IS set up correctly, and see how they handle it. They all fly nitro, of course, so it'll be a mosquito to them.
