A very nice and informative site on that link that is well worth looking at for the frequency occupation.

Compares favourably to Futaba and DSMX since it hops on 20 channels or can be used in "scan" mode which repicks the 20 every time.

Once SPEKTRUM introduced the 2.4 concept into the flying groups -and prooved it is a superior setup- ,everyboby else did similar setups and -they all work- hopping skipping jumping - pick yer poison
The real issue -still -is getting the parts and support equipment done right
Any brand - name yer favorite -can be screwed up in a heatbeat.

Hey Dick, I was going to ask you a question; At the TCRC auction my Dad picked up a Runaround with retracts and a ST90 in the nose. What were the specs of this plane, ws, area, length, etc? He is going to use it this summer for advanced pattern and I haven't found out much about it. I did hear on RCU that it is still available as a kit to this day, but no idea where as my google searches have been fruitless..... thanks! I can't wait to see it next time I go to Minneapolis. He said it is well used but setup nicely. I told him I would get some specifics for him.

I designed the basic Runaround (fiberglass kit version)to use either .91 or 1.2 four cycle engines
three different wing /tail assy's
largest was 800sq -smallest 700 squares
Also wings were done double taper or straight TE
performance was best - to me- in th smallest one with a modified OS.91 and all up weight at just a little over 7 lbs This setup had better fuselage to wing size -so even at slow speeds -rolling stuff required hardly any correction.
It was more like the present concepts than the earlier Tipo concept -which worked better at faster speed. Using a ST90 -an dprobably the 800 sq in wing - the plane was a good solid flyer but engine was over the size rules
