That article seemed very much as if Mike has it in for eCCPM. Much of what he said, while MAYBE applied when the article was written, certainly doesn't seem to apply now.

I think it's mostly agreed that eCCPM is simply a more precise (and powerful) method of controlling the swashplate versus older methods. That said, it does still have it's problems, most notably being the one he made mention of with the way the servos move in relation to the swashplate. The idea of a linear moving servo is fascinating, but I can't see it happening any time soon. To much (as he put it) reconfiguration and retooling of models would be required.

As for his comment about digital servos.. digital servos are like night and day compared to analog. I won't ever go back to analog given the choice in my helicopters. He lost much of my interest in his article after reading that.

And, like syclic pointed out, nearly all pro pilots right now, including the FAI guys, use eCCPM. I also have not met many people who claim eCCPM causes them radio interference.

Syclic certainly was not being rude or unfriendly in his post, he simply stated HIS opinion about Mikes opinion. And while what mike wrote in his article may (and that's a big may, as I still don't agree with much that he said) have applied 5 years ago, much of it certainly does not apply now, so using his article as an answer to the original posters question does not help him get a clear picture of what eCCPM is and can do today.

Really, you should've anticipated responses like this posting an old (and in some regards, extremely biased) article.

Besides, one way or the other, if you're gonna write an article and publish it for viewing to the general public, you better be ready to take the criticism that comes from it, both bad and good. This applies to forums, too .
