Default RE: 2.4 GHz alternative

Hey,

Ideas like yours is how we got the Weatronic Dual Receivers. Before they came out people could only dream of a unit that monitors between two Rxs and two antennas for the best signal, now we can get that for only $600. These units are great and still pose a benefit to the spectrum Rxs. There is still the possibility of a Rx failure. The only way for redundant Rxs in a jet is to go with a Weatronic in my opinion. Two individual Rxs will do you no good in a jet setting them up like you would on a large 3D plane(half control surfaces on one and the other half on the other), you can't fly a 40 lb F-18 with only one elevator and one aileron. That isn't even going into the other benefits of the weatronic, just wait until they go to 2.4. Meanwhile, for a jet I will still put a Weatronic in until I see a 10 channel dual receiver unit on 2.4.
