Default RE: Futaba 12FG Press Release Announcement

As I understand things there's an amount of latency in every system. The Tx processes your commands via the pots on the sticks and levers and dials etc. This is then converted into transmissable information and goes out onto the air waves via the module. Since this doesn't happen at the speed of light there is a lag of sorts. The only way to get close to no latency is to have a mechanical connection to your plane, Like a puppet. even then there is a certain amount of latency.

I think latency may have become one of those buzz words that has little practical meaning in the real world..if not.. then I'd like a good explaination as to why not.
