RE: To you fly your turbine with Spektrum or Fasst
I don’t want to start WW3. I just want to see if most of the jet pilots use Fasst or JR(Spektrum). I hear it all the time Fasst is better JR(Spektrum) is better. I know at our field that has a lot of people flying all the time, that no one brand has any more or less crashes because of claimed radio failure. I just want to see the numbers of Fasst and the total of JR+ Spektrum. So out of the two I can see what most use.

Spektrum and JR should be a single choice IMO.

I disagree.... Thats like saying that Cheverolet and GMC are the same trucks... They do both come down the same assembly line but they are different..

Well, well, well!! Who'd have thought it!! All I ever see on these forums is how if you're not flying JR you're mad but it would seem when it comes to it, more trust is put in the 'useless f word radio only good for boats'.....
Finally, a little retribution LOL

Futaba 14MZ flier and constant flak taker for it

Brown-outs, lock-outs, fades, frame losses, fail-safes, multiple satellite antennas, and worn-out re-binding buttons??? Nahhh.
FASST 14MZ provides a good night's sleep for the serious pilot. [8D]
*Factoid*... JR (Japan Radio) started their business in 1976
Futaba (Futabadenshikougyoukoujoukaisha) started theirs in 1948

JR will be bringing out their own 2.4 GHz systems on new future systems. Their new 7 channel system is undergoing full CE testing at the moment and for aircraft use it will be full FHSS.
It is hoped to be in production in October, they will be dropping the DSMJ system and from what I can gather, no longer manufacturing DSM2 FOR NEW SYSTEMS.
They will still be supporting the DSM2 for some period of time.
Their entry level set is called the XG7 and supports telemetry. The receiver is fitted with 2 long antennas ( similar to Futaba/Hitec) and comes with a telemetry sender. Currently it is for Rx battery voltage but you will be able to add additional probes to it.
For those of you heading to the NATS this weekend, it will be there.
Transmitter styling is that of the 2720/DX7.
As it is a completely new system and not based on Spektrums hardware, there is no compatibility or upgrade path with DSM2.
