[B</div> <div style="font-style: italic">[/B]My opinion about latency..... Milliseconds are itty bitty teenie weenie fractions of time that are very unlikely sensed or controlled by a much slower-reacting human. Other than that...you are overthinking an issue that really does not apply to 99.9 percent of the R/C heli pilot community.
If you want the radio that the paid guy has so you FEEL like you can fly like him, buy one.
Here is where I show why I have this opinion about latency. First, take a look at the first link that shows latency figures in comparring the leading brands of radios. Bear in mind that the figures as shown are expressed with the decimal point cleverly moved to the left of actual decimal position, making it seem bigger. For example, 11.5 milliseconds is really .0115 seconds. It just looks bigger, which makes the competing brands having say 32.5ms look HUGE and SLOW and in granny-gear.

Now take this speed test:

The speed test is expressed in milliseconds. If you can prove that your reaction/control input times are FASTER than the DIFFERENCE between the leading brands of radios..your picture should be on the cover of all heli magazines, every month...forever.
