What about lockouts then. You were at St Athens and a number of pilots reported lockouts.
I have flown both PCM and PPM in high threat environments. Personally I am more comfortable getting warning glitches which may alert me to the weakening link. But I am always happy to listen to my peers on subjects like this. I understand the theory behind PCM, is there any concrete evidence that says it will be safer in the air?
I was present when both 'lock outs occurred' What i can tell you is that if that had been ppm both models would have gone home in black bags.
The fault turned out to the the TX but due to the pcm hold last commands the models continue the turns adn came back into signal range, both were then landed.
As the model were flying in a banking curve away form the TX at medium height, the resultant glitch's would have most likely put the model into the ground (or a hanger!).
This thread is not really the place to debate this subject, if you wish, i will give you a unarguable ground demonstration as to why you should fly PCM next time we meet

You my old mate, how goes it?
