Rusty,
I'm not sure I follow the sequence of logic but I tend to agree that a park flyer Rx is probably not a great candidate for a fast, albeit small, pattern plane.
Of course, then there's the whole discussion of how signal transmission and reception differs (is better/worse?) between FASST and DSM2 - but that conversation is akin to, for example, Mac's vs PC's...

I'd rather not embark on it because I typically don't subscribe to specific camps but rather like to sing the praises of each technology (and sometimes point out their limitations too). Of course, I also tend to be impartial in these discussions because, again to continue with the example, I was raised on Unix before I ever even saw a Mac or a PC... I guess this is analogous to being raised on 53 MHz [8D].
David.
