I was worried about this to when I went to the DX8, because I fly at a place with high interference (just found out the other day that they have strong AM coming from one tower and wifi 2.4ghz conning from the other). The am plays havoc between the RX and servos with long runs. And we know 2.4. So far so good... I made the change after having two lockouts one on a heli and one on a 60" edge using a A9, thought it was a BEC issue with the heli, before realizing it was a lockout with the second crash of the edge. The lockout happened in the same exact spot in the air with both crashes... One with a 6ch RX and another with a 7ch. I had thousands of flights at this location. Now with the Speky that I run only DSMX I am lockout free so far... Totally knocking on wood.

Yeah after reading more it's all about DSM2 being horrible, DSMX is the way to go. I always thought that it was just the Spektrum signal itself that was weak... so that's great to know and I'll probably be using DSMX a lot more

It pretty much only matters when you're in very noisy environments. But DSMX is better, so use it.

Yeah I'll be using DSMX for my relatively expensive planes. But other than that there's no benefit to Spektrum if you're still going to use $60 receivers so the cheapo RX's are of great use for me for foamies and such

I'm not going to say dsmx isn't better but there are still thousands of people that are really happy flying dsm2. I use dsm2 all the time and have never had an issue. I have heard it struggles in a noisy environment though. I have flown dsm2 ar6100s (parkflyer rx) almost out of sight on flying wings without a single hiccup.

Went flying today with Zmonster97. It was 25-20 mph winds and me and him were flying. The wind was a direct crosswind so I would come in left to right and kick into the cross wind and land my planes like a helicopter. Either I or Z will be posting a video either later or tomorrow.

Anyone have an ETA of when the 59" AJ Slick Motor Box Kit will be in stock again? I need it if I wanna practice for my 3drc 38 contest

Im guessing youve already tried emailing them? If not, you could ask 3dhs here: http://www.3drcforums.com/showthrea...ucts-and-General-Plane-Info-Help-for-Fanatics

Noll has been known to lurk in there occasionally.

Hope this helps
