Spektrum DX10t - Beauty or beast?

This weekend  I should have been flying at the F3F Nationals in Wales, but a last minute commitment on Sunday forced me to withdraw. Every cloud has a silver lining though, and I was at least able to visit the annual 'Wings 'n Wheels' model show on the Saturday, where I cast my eyes on the new Spektrum DX10t.

Telemetry with M-LINK, and some thoughts on the Spektrum DX8

Today I had my first taste of Multiplex's telemetry system in action. I flew my Easy Glider electric with two sensors: the 35 Amp current sensor, and Altimeter/vario. Controlling this lot was a Multiplex Royal Pro 12 M-LINK transmitter and RX-7-DR M-LINK receiver.

The Good, the Good and the Ugly

During the last few months, I have been lucky enough to test three radios for Radio Control Model World - the Multiplex Cockpit SX, the Spektrum DX-7, and Futaba 6EX 2.4. Each quite different, but all significant in their own way.

Is Spread Spectrum good for you?

The success of the Spektrum DX-7 has taken 2.4 GHz firmly into the mainstream of R/C modelling. Yet while 2.4 GHz systems offer enticing advantages, there are some subtle compatibility issues to trap the unwary purchaser.
