Moving to 2.4Ghz....

(1/10) > >>

Fred:
Alright, finally joining a few people in the XXIst century !

I finally moved my good old MC18 from 41Mhz to 2.4ghz using a Corona DIY module...
Install took 10 minutes, and so far, working great, but real test will be at the slope ! Weird not to have this huge antenna in front of me !  :D

Never had any issues in 41 or 35mhz, ever, but now, I fear other people on the slope, as it seems that there is a general assumption that everybody is in 2.4, and will turn on 35mhz gears without checking with the other guys at the slope, and true or not, flying machines that can kill people very easily, I have to try this new stuff now that early problems seems to be ironed.

Anyway, let's try that thing with crunchies and do all possible tests before putting that in bigger stuff !
Only 3 receivers for now, we'll see, as I might move to Jeti if I go for the big jump !  :D

Happy Days:
Now you’re really “Cooking with Gas” Fred! :clap:

I’ve only ever used 2.4. Never had any interference problems and never had to be concerned with what other pilots are using. (Nor have I had to worry about poking other peoples eyes out with long antennas!)

Welcome to the modern world :D

Fred:
Hey Keith, thanks  :D

Getting there, slowly, but surely !

But I have to admit that it is hard to change a perfect working reliable system ! Must get old  :P

And I think the RC manufacturers are doing a lot of money with that ! This is old cheap technology, sold the price of gold to us  :!:  :!:

Ah well, I'll test that thing to the max, and we'll see !

IceWind:
Hey Fred,

What took you to go for Corona?
Not choosing Spektrum I have several reason and the biggest is the €'s.

Most of the people I know have gone for Assan, so It will be good to know how the Corona perform.

Hi Fred,

don't be afraid. i went for Jeti this winter and don't have any problems. Works great and feels reliable. Made it switchable between 40 Mhz and 2G4.

The biggest problem for me was not having any more the long Antennae in front of me. Sometimes I lost my orientation :lol:

Regards

Lothar
