face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">They promise lots of feature updates via
firmware, but are VERY slow in releasing anything. And they won't say
exactly what will be in the next release. 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.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
