Default RE: 2 death 4 wounded in model airplane crash

ORIGINAL: EddieWeeks

I switched back to PPM 10 years ago and I am much happier with it... I did crash a jet
with the PPM in Deland but I had some control all the way to the ground.

I get a lot more bumps and hits than everyone else but I see them all and when I get
two in a flight I land... no big deal...

I can't say if PPM (FM) would have helped in this case, but if it was like my crash he would
have %50 control at first.... Then %20... more than enough time to chop the power and
have the engine power back.. Way better than lock out at full power...

I thought I was the last person on the planet to not belive in PCM. I fly PPM, and don't plan to change. I will gladly change to spread spectrum pretty soon, when that gets refined. But if I did fly PCM, the failsafe would be set to kill the engine! Anything else is nuts.
