So here's what ya do... while assembling said foamy....oh wait, no assembly required....eat greasy gooyie cheesy hamburger over receiver in said test bed...allow droppings to slobber all over...."ALL" over the pigtails of each servo, wrap the antenna leads in aluminum foil. Then blast it off....go straight up one mile....and straight out two miles. While flying that electric plane, go stand behind a steel structure and have all your buddies stand next to you with "ALL" their 72mhz radio antennas touching together...... Make sure in doing so....everyone is talking on their cell phones at the same time. If the plane survives, put it in the new Edge.I got the foamy as a test bed and I'm going to literally abuse the plane in the air to see if I can't get it to glitch or something.
Just for grins and giggles, have you done a range test on this bad boy yet?
Psssttt, your not allowed to go over 400 ft.

Seriously speaking Kelly, I hope it proves to be a rock solid system. I really do. There will be many...."MANY" radio manufacturers that will have a View attachment 52558 fit over the price. That is the only thing I really find distasteful regarding this hobby. The expanse of the systems and options available are really nice. But 99% of the stuff is over priced. WAY over priced. You go out and spend hard earned money for said "stuff" and next week it ain't worth enough to buy ya fries to go with your cheeseburger. I was just looking at some equipment in my plane room this morning. Remember the Hobby-Co Accu-Cycle Elite Charger? Just one case in point. Purchased two of these a couple of years ago...to the tune of over 120.00 a pieced. Now? Ain't worth enough to buy the shake to go wit dem fries to go wit dat cheesyburger. It would be nice to see a quality, dependable, reliable rock solid system do what the 3000.00 dollar radios do....for literally pennies on the dollar.
You know it brother. And from what I have seen so far This system only lacks some support that other MFG's have. But in all honesty.......I never had to return a Futaba radio for service or "updates" I just simply destroyed them and got a new one .
You should come fly with us. No noise restrictions, no boundaries...other than the barbed wire fences that a certain 260 just had to see if she could clear it....lol, and no ceiling. Allows for blasting previously mentioned said 260 as high as she wants to go.Psssttt, your not allowed to go over 400 ft. [emoji6]
Well, Kelly, I am with you... so what is wrong with it? Price point is amazing, feature rich, 100feet range test through buildings..... crazy. Hurry up and fly that thing already so we can find out!
Same here, private field on a farm. Ain't got no stinking rules.lolYou should come fly with us.
