Ed,<br><br>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). <br><br>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.<br><br>Ed<br><br><b><i>Ed Alt <ed_alt@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <style> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } </style> With a proven solution from Spektrum / JR and with Futaba introducing what will undoubtedly be a solid solution, why play with XPS? I can't think of any advantage that it offers and it apparently has some issues to dig into and understand. <br> <br> Ed<br><br><br> <blockquote> <hr> Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 08:44:14 -0800<br>From: edvwhite@sbcglobal.net<br>To: nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<br>Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Speaking of 2.4GHz<br><br>Anybody have experience with the xtremelink systems?<br><br>http://www.xtremepowersystems.net/<br><br>Ed<br><br><b><i>Ken Thompson
