Hi Georgie

Sorry for the late reply, I've been very busy the last few days. Thanks for starting an interesting thread regarding the latency item. I have a suspicion that the installation of 2.4mHz equipment may not be your problem. Your 5 year old TX, has been idle for a couple of months as I understand your post. It's entirely possible that your problem is simply worn TX stick pots that have had a chance to rot a little while not being used. These things will sneak up on one much like worn servo pots and ruin the "feel" of any airplane. Might be worth a look.

Good luck

Earl

  I have a question for anyone that has the technical understanding of these matters and I hope you can help me understand my dilemma. ?

  I have a 9C radio that I purchased approx 5 yrs ago and it has served me extremely well all thru that period. About a year ago, not wanting 
  to be left behind, I also purchased a 2.4 module and receiver so that I could fly even though other guys were on my freq. 

  I had been flying a Cermark Javelin and had gotten it trimmed to the point where I could really enjoy flying it.
  For a couple of months I stopped flying the Javelin and flew a couple of foamies on 72, but ultimately I got my act together and decided to install 
  the 2.4 receiver in the Javelin and go fly to my hearts content.

  The subsequent flights on the Javelin did not feel like the Javelin of old, but I chalked it up to the fact that I hadn't flown the Jav for an extended 
  period and had lost my feel for the plane. For some inexplicable reason the Javelin just didn't seem to lock as well as it seemed to have previously 
  done.

  With the passage of time I purchased a Sequence because I liked the looks of the force arrangement and figured it should fly possibly better than
  the Javelin. I did a thorough job of set-up on the Sequence and I had seen some vids of other guys flying it and the performance seemed quite good
  so after moving the 2.4 rcvr from the Javelin into the Sequence,  off to the field I go with great expectations,...........NOT!
  After the maiden flight my reaction was,......."I'd rather fly my foamy!"

  After flying yesterday, I became engrossed in a conversation with a buddy who has a dedicated 2.4 system and we got talking about the latency 
  issues in the non-dedicated systems and the gears started turning in my noodle. So my question is........Am I seeing latency issues between the 
  performance of my 9C on 2.4 relative to the 72 mg spectrum?
  Tony?   Dave?  Earl?  Bob?   I need somebody to calm my turbulent thoughts on this matter and thanks for the help.

  Georgie
