dual receiver redundancy
How many of you would be interested if you could have your cake and eat too.
How about a two receiver redundency where you keep all of the controls should you lose either receivers either by the lost of battery, switch, crysta, etc.
I was talking to Sombra Labs today and they are looking at this very thing. complete with Opto isolation and seperate batteries for the servos, and the best thing at a price that will blow you away.
today when using two receivers, you have a false sense of security because your aiplane is split in two for the controls. With this system, both receivers control everything.
anyway , please let me know if you are interested since I'm just looking at a feasibility for quantity for them

RE: dual receiver redundancy
After losing a plane to a radio issue [:@] , this sounds very interesting to me anyways. Keep us posted as to what you dig up on this, estimated weight and dimensions and such. I would imagine this would be of interest to many modelers.

RE: dual receiver redundancy
Emcotec has had this for a while now. They call it the DPSI Twin

If you really truly want dual RX redundancy, this is the way to do it.

two reasons why the one I'm talking about is different, you don't control which receiver to be used by the failsafe of one receiver, they use a microcontroler and an inline plug and play for two channels will set you back around $10.00 to $15.00 ,

RE: dual receiver redundancy
Receivers almost never fail most problems are caused by batteries switches interference
and connectors. unless you had a system that could work on two seaprate freqs at the
same time i dont see any real advantage to haveing two receivers in a model.
The new 2.4gz radios can work on multiple freqs simultaneously but i dont think we will
see that in 72mz systems.
Also many already use two batteries and switches in their models but to prevent radio
interference you have to be able to operate on multiple channels at the same time.

I suspect the new SS systems will make all of this obsolete.

No it won't by any means, Spread Spectrum is the form of transmission from the transimitter to the receiver, it has nothing to do with internal of the airplane such metal noise, lost of one receiver by , bad battery, switch, crystal etc...

RE: dual receiver redundancy
May be a dumb question-- how would you know if a rec went bad. From experience in digital controls for the telephone industy the odds of both units failing at the same time are extemely high. Would be great if you know when 1 fails.
