The rest of the shootout

[Curtis]

Hey Bruce,
Can you share with us your timeline for rolling out the remainder of
the shootout? I am anxious to upgrade my fleet and await your
findings.
Best Regards,
Curtis
P.S. sorry to sound so anxious, but timing is tight lately.

Me too! And can you tell us what items will be in upcoming reviews?

I'm working hard to get the rest to the web right now (if only I
didn't have to put food on the table as well :-)

Unless something goes wrong, it should all be online by next Monday.

That'll include reviews of:

WFly 2.4 (module/receivers)
Corona 2.4 DSSS V2 (DIY module/receiver)
The Hitec review (web version)
FlyDream (new version) module/receivers

And the summary/comparison tables that rank/compare each of the tested
systems on a number of criteria such as:

reboot voltage, link/relink time, interference rejection, range,
features, weight, price, certifications, etc.

I'm also hoping to get my hands on a FASST and Spektrum/JR system to
act as benchmarks for the various comparisons.

XPS, Assan and Jeti weren't interested in providing product for review/
comparison.

XJet (Bruce), I appreciate your efforts to present us your independent
tests of RC-equipment very much.
Worldwide there is nothing else than your website, thank you for that.

My question: When will your review be ready with a conclusion, which
of the tested systems performs
"better" or worse?

I've been working hard this week to get the rest of the stuff together
for the last couple of systems and the wrap-up "compare-all" feature.

Unfortunately, I'm also having to earn a few $ to pay the bills so
time is tight.

Stay tuned though -- it'll be online soon!

And thanks for your patience.

Hello Bruce,

for your information, there is a German manufacturer called ACT
Europe, they make kind of a 'high end' 2,4 GHz system which has some
interesting features and specs.
You can check it out at: http://www.acteurope.de/html/2_4ghz_conversion_system.html
If you are lucky, they might send you a system for review....
I like their stuff, but don't own any of it (a bit pricey for me)
about as expensive as Jeti, I think, but technically superior.

Greetings
Hannes

P.S. What kind of DLG do you fly?

I just saw that ACT europe have a special offer for an 8 channel Tx
hack module with 4 channel mircro Rx for 99 Euros instead of 198
Euros.
The system uses 80 hopping channels!
