My jeti comes with 2x 2.4 transmissions plus a 868mhz back up if I add a rsat 900 to the receiver

Jeti a lot more money but never need to worry about loss of signal. They really are awesome, you will never regret the spend, go on treat yourself.

Refuse to pay there hadelling charge, you have never contacted with them, or asked them to pay the vaton your behalf. Only pay them the import duty and the vat, you will have to stand your ground and may take a couple of days extra to get your goods but you will. I have done it twice now both times I have ended up dealing with there head office and arguing about contractual law. Also go on social media and tell the story, they hate it when people post about it and contractual law.

Don't pick litter up but my run around work car passenger side foot well is like a skip

Sorry for your misfortune but unfortunately that's what now seems to be the norm for horizon hobby products, I stopped buying anything they do years ago after the appaling dx8

I store and carry my lips like the ones in the picture, nothing wrong with living dangerously once in a while, keeps the mind active

I have a 9x if your interested great condition in genuine hitec case.

There's a few on thingyverse, there must be someone in you club with a printer, pick the one you want and get them to scale it in the slicer then print it, you may not understand but anyone with a printer will

Modeling is relatively cheap compares with many things.

My son raced motor bikes for 10 years right up to golden era superbikes, need minimum of 7 rear tyres and 4 front tyres per weekend plus entries, fuel, travel accident damage and 4 people having 2 days of work, and if we did the practice on a Friday it was another 6 or 7 rears and 3 or 4 fronts plus all the other costs and another day off work,

Do this 12 plus times a year and its getting expensive.

To much but only about 2 grand this year but the previous 2 years about 5 grand each

My AWXL has ample power with its DLE40 twin

What a shock, what did you expect?

Ripmax, another 5 or 6 months at least.

Ever figured out why people bash spektrum, I'll let you work it out.

In 39 years of rc flying the only radio failure I have had is with spektrum so apart from that I suppose my radio gear has been good

I was a spektrum user when 2.4 first came out and owed one of the very early DX7s which where manafactured by JR still have it now and never a problem, I then bought a DX8 which was the first spektrum transmitter which horizon hobby manafactured or had manafactured by a third party but not JR, it was a nightmare was replaced several times and in the end I had no option but to bin a brand new transmitter that came back as I had zero confidence and felt selling it was wrong.

I have since used two other brands of radio and not once have I had radio failure or any issue relating to the radio, I was often told it was my install that was wrong but no one could tell me or show me what was wrong and I still do it the same now.

Our club has about 25 members and I think we are now down to one spektrum user and he had a radio problem in a heli a couple of weeks ago and is now talking of changing as he has had to many radio failures in the last couple of years.

I often wonder what would happen if you hit and killed someone whilst using spektrum gear as you are responsiable for the safety of the flight, so what happens when your in court and the barrister says there are hundreds of reports of faliure of this radio brand on the internet but you choice to fly with it anyway, what would be your defence?

I agree innocent till proven quiilty, but also no smoke without fire. I mot cars and a car is always tested as presented but do know a way that makes just about any common rail diesel fail the emissions test, this is by doing something we all do every time we drive the car, no tricks or tools required.

Or google ford emissions scandal, there all at it

Lol

There just Chinese servos with a sticker on them, may be good may be bad, suppose it depends on Chinese quality control.
