RE: 2.4Ghz - Is it really ready for Hobby use ?
Xantos,
No point in getting any answer here.
Facts are simple:
The 2.4 Technology is not yet good enough from a software and RF viewpoint (FULL STOP)
The Power supplies employed in the RX is nowwhere near good enough to withstand transients in voltage (FULL STOP)
Recovery from a brownout is not good enough(FULL STOP)
Adding redundancy with powerboxes increases the failure mode since there is no regulator on earth that can emulate the low internal resistance and transient response of a good quality Ni MH battery.
You will see a flood of people who disagree. None of them have lost a Jet yet. Statistically a 10% failure rate will give you 90% which has no problems. 10% is BAD and poor odds.
Save this post. In a few years the marketing material for this material will claim they have found and researched at great cost (yours in reality) the exact problems which somehow was not obvious to them now.
Let those who disagree now reassure you that this will never happen because the systems JR and others have given us have been 100% all the time.
