Default RE: transission to 2.4 Ghz


ORIGINAL: Foamaholic

The link is for XPS. I bought it for my Optic 6 last April and flew hundreds of flights with five planes last summer with absolutely no problems. I like it very much, although some say it's rf link is not as robust at Spektrum or Futaba.
Thanks. I haven't found feedback specifically relating to Optic 6 and XPS. I've read more about XPS since that post and apparently XPS is perhaps not as robust with the core protocol (the frequency hopping, etc), but it supposedly takes better advantage of the possibilities with things like telemetry. People seem to really like XPS and the customer service as well.

I was planning on getting the Optic 6, but have been a little deterred by all the reports of problems with standard RF module (especially the synthesized one). If I were to get the Optic 6, I would use the RF module for at least a season before upgrading to XPS, so I'm not sure. But you've been happy with the Optic 6 overall? It does have good features.

Cheers
