I don't think that sort of telemetry is what was implied in the rules,
so I agree no one would likely complain.<br>

<div>By the rule book the DX8 would be clearly illegal for

If you don't need more than 8 channels, I'd recommend the new DX-8 --
has telemetry back to the Tx for 4 data sources. I have one. The
sticks re really silky and the 11 ms frame rate is VERY fast... $430.00
for Tx, Rx and telemetry module...<br>

lots of feature updates via firmware, but are VERY slow in releasing

Bugs in heli and sailplane setups. Requires purchase of a separate
box to update firmware. Website in Korea that has the updates has had
frequent outages. You CANNOT download the firmware and install it
later. You MUST be hooked to the internet and download it real time.
My perception is that they are more enthralled with telemetry (that was
a year late in being released) than in getting the basic system up to
snuff. Oh, and as far as I know, they still haven't released the 72mHz
module promised last fall, if that is of any concern.<br>
