Default GY520 and PPM FM

Futaba "strongly discourages the use of PPM with the GY520. Has anyone had any issues?

Geeze I asked Steve Kaluf what that was all about at E-Fest but I forgot what he told me....


Sucks getting old, though its nice being able to hide my own Easter eggs. I'll check and find out.

Futaba supports says no problem. so is the GY520 worth $50 more than the trust "old" 401?


Going into a new Trex 500ESP...

Depends on how you fly.

Lots of backwards, looking for piro consistency, yes.

Puttering around, no big difference. It's smaller, lighter, and supports short pulse servos though and paired up with a BLS 251 is awesome

I'm no stick banger, fly around loops, rolls, flips, I do like fast piros. Haven't done much backwards flying. I have 3 other 401's in the Freya .91, Evo .50 and 450SE. I guess another 401 and a 9257 is going to go into the new Trex 500ESP... Unless I get the 520 and put it on the... nahhh I'll get another 401. I know them and like them.

Thanks for the advice!
