RE: 2.4Ghz - Is it really ready for Hobby use ?
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Very sorry for your loss.</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">From my own experience with Futaba FASST I would say that this technology is definitely good for model use.</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I now have hundreds of flights on Jets, props and Heli’s with absolutely zero issues, as has my local flying club which is now 90% FASST 10% 35 meg. The club flys everything from large gassers, jets and heli’s to electric DF and gliders, Zero issues reported on 2.4.</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I have no long term experience with Spektrum/JR other than initial testing I did and feedback from other users, based on this I made a personal choice not to go down that route 2 years ago.</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">At the recent Scampton Jet meeting only a very small percentage remained on 35Meg, the majority of the others were flying FASST (David Gladwin was on Weatronics) and the remainder on Spektrum/JR. During 2 days of intense jet flying there was no reported radio issues.</div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">At the British Nationals last year, there was 5+ flight lines in operation, with Futaba/Spektrum/JR operating on each. To the best of my knowledge there was no reported RF issues.</div><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%">I would not go make to 35meg now, very happy with the solid RF link I have experienced for 2 years.
