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?
Yep - and you REALLY felt it if you went from PCM to 2.4! Ask a pylon guy.....
