Default RE: FM Radios?

Guys, 2.4 has more of a benefit than field frequency control! The response time of a 2.4 radio is much quicker than a 72mhz radio. When I made the switch to a Futaba FASST system in October of '07 I was flying my Top Flite T-34 with a 72mhz radio. I pulled the 72mhz reciever out, put in a 2.4ghz reciever and (I wouldn't believe this part myself if it didn't happen to me!!) the second I turned the radio on and moved the sticks I could feel the difference in response!!

My jump was from an Airtronics Stylus to a Futaba 12FG and the Stylus at the time was known to be a "fast "radio.

Anybody else have the same experience?



PS - I am not trying to knock 72mhz radios. They really do work fine but this new technology is awesome!
