<div>Eric,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guess what I got out of the RCU discussion is that this guy has a history of making outrageous claims and over-hyping his products. If his stuff checks out and he can deliver, then that is great . . . but I'm not willing to bet the safety of the people around me on some dude building RC equipment out of his garage that may or may not have done complete testing on his product AND has the assets / processes to back up his equipment if something goes wrong in the future.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll wait for the "big guys" to make certified equipment for me. . . .<br><br> </div>

2.4 GHz receiver? (Asked another way, "Would the associated 2.4 GHz receiver work with either radio?").</font></div>

<br> Status: offline We are pleased to announce that we will be releasing<br>a new product in the near future that will allow you to upgrade you exiting<br>Futaba, JR, and Hitec radio systems to 2.4GHz.<br><br> Our system replaces the existing transmitter RF module and includes a
<br>brand new receiver.<br><br> This is a professional upgrade, not a park flyer upgrade. Our system<br>offers up to 5 miles of range, no frequency conflicts, the ability to have<br>up to 390,000 people flying at the same time, and gives you the option of
<br>having telemetry data.<br><br> Information and pictures of the prototype units are on our website.<br><br> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.xtremepowersystems.net/xtremelink.php" target="_blank">

<br>> at<br>> all. They even had someone stand in front of the person flying to block<br>> the<br>> signal and still had no problem.<br>><br>> In talking to some people that have used this new radio they say that the
<br>> response time rivals the 14mz with 2048. I cannot wait to get one for<br>> myself<br>> and try it out. I think this is a big leap forward in the RC world as we<br>> will not have to worry about frequency control.
