Test flew my Hitec Aurora 9 today in a heavy carbon D80 today and this thing is amazing. I did several power down range checks inside my shop, closed myself in the next room, outside out of sight, 300ft away and could never get it to not work. I specked out the D80 and flew it for over an hour today with laps up to 337mph and it's working flawlessly. I really think the touchscreen, and onscreen receiver battery voltage is a huge value. I launched the plane with 6.7 volts and flew for an hour down to 6.2 volts. Hitec has something special here. I will continue to test this system and keep a log for those who are interested.

I'd say this speaks volumes about the Hitec AFHSS system!


Note: Joe was using the Optima 9 RX with two antenna's (tips only exiting the fuselage) positioned at 90 degrees from each other due to the extreme nature of the model.

Next up... the 160" D160 @400+MPH! FYI: His current record is 393MPH but he has a brand new 160" ship that should easily (relitively speaking) reach 400+. For more info on Joe Manor and his planes visit his website here: http://www.manormodels.com/

Faster than FAAST?!?!?!?
