RE: 2.4 GHz and ignition interference
FYI,
I have XPS in a Futaba 8UAFS transmitter and have been flying the XPS receivers in 5 airplanes and 2 helicopters and have had no problems at all. This is at a renegade field that has "supposedly" had FM problems and has had 1 Spektrum go into fail safe.
I can't speak for others, but I've been satisfied.
