Default RE: anything bad about the dx7?


ORIGINAL: -pkh-

I don't think anyone is trying to get more flights out of a battery pack after switching to a Spektrum system. I do believe that the Spektrum reboot issue comes about because many guys were flying with packs that dropped severely under load, and didn't know it before, since the analog receivers would mask the problem.
I absolutely agree. And like I said in my previous post I think that Spektrum should include a bigger battery with this radio. But I don't consider the reboot as something bad about the radio as the original post asked. I consider as something that needs to be done in operating the radio. For all us "old farts" it just means that we need to shift what we know about monitoring the radio battery and quitting at a higher voltage than we would have before the Spectrums came out. But as people learn they need to cared for in a slightly different way it's not going to be an issue any longer.
