Spectrum RX issue
Moderator: hbartel
I have experienced a different type of 'brown out' with my Spektrum using 270mAh Nicad batteries. However, with the Nicads, the servo simple would deflect with control input and then return to neutral ( failsafe ). Evidently there was still enough juice in the battery to allow some control. I landed ( ugly but without damage ) and my battery did indeed test low for my normal flying parameters. With NiMh batteries, I will certainly check and recharge often to be safe. If find I get 3 rounds on my 270 mAh Nicads, but expect 2 to be the safe limit if using the equivalent NiMh. Just my $.02.
I just wanted confirmation that 2.4 systems are allowed in these combat events. The AMA pamphlets in 2008 had a small thing that 2.Spread Spectrum systems were to only be used with things considered as park fliers. I understand in the beginning that they didn't have the range, but now.... I know most of the helicopters at IRCHA were 2.4. So, if you can afford it and want to risk you high dollar receivers, you can use Spread Spectrum radios????

<br />Yes, 2.4s are now perfectly legal as long as they are a <b>FULL RANGE</b> radio, not the original park flyer units.

Good to know for sure. Thank you very much.
