[NSRCA-discussion] Speaking of 2.4GHz

Ed,

I've been digging into (ie, poking around RCU) for XPS issues and as is usually the case find mostly secondhand and anecdotal problems along with a few really unhappy people.  I also find a lot of happy XPS users.  I am attracted to the XPS because it offers the future possibility of telemetry, something I would like to play with.  Lastly on the Spektrum, I've seen only a handful of systems fly at our local field.  I've also seen two crashes on two different Spektrum systems due to total loss of control, at close range.  At least one of those verified good battery voltage under load after the crash (the other one didn't check).  

I know there are a huge number of satisfied Spektrum users.  I know of two locally who are not quite so satisfied.  Neither ever did figure out the reason for the loss of control.  And with Futaba's recent problem (which they have fixed), well I think we all have to realize there is no bulletproof system.  Just looking to see if people have had problems with the XPS.

I can't think of any advantage that it offers and it apparently has some issues to dig into and understand.
