[LASS Soaring] "Jack Benny is 39 and 2.4 is 38?"

[Ryan Woebkenberg]

I don't know about the rest of you all but I have seen the # of concurrent systems limitations in a lot of the litareture out there on the Spektrum and the Extreme.
 
The way Spektrum works is if it can't grab the 2 channels to opparate the receiver simply won't start "working".  So, assuming we are all being good about doing our "wiggle checks" and if we are doing a good job of checking our "blinkies" as suggested by Don Richmond, should not be an issue there.

So far as our soaring goes, I think it is unlikely we will exceed the 40 "channels" at a soaring event.  Take the Nats for example, there might be pilot groups of 10, so perhaps there could be 10 guys turned on and waiting at the winch staging area, 10 guys launching and 10 guys in the air soon landing, but that still leaves 10 channels and perhaps a few guys "in the pits" might have radios on fiddling with trims/etc, but worst case one of the 10 guys that is turning on at the staging area just lets the "round master" know he can't get a free channel.   
 
Hope you all had a good Christmas.  I got some servos to help complete Psyko #2.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the general modeler believed that with 2.4 all concerns for freq control were over....Millions could all be on at once...there was the story about the huge heli event with hundreds of attendees most enjoying the freedom of 2.4....hmmmn.
 
Did you all believe that the amount of 2.4 TXs on at once was almost unlimited?
