[QUOTE=stegl;3033266]Know what you are saying about Futaba vs Spektrum . Futaba makes some good radios 
, receivers and servos . Looking at the whole picture one has to compare the dependability and cost of their radio equipment  to the value of what they have in the air, I guess....

If it wasn't for telemetry I would have stuck with my Airtronics SD-10 with very good programming and their FHSS-3 receivers for range and dependability ; hands down , bar none. Even after being 9 years old in the running users are still finding and publishing programing that the designers didn't know was there.

About 2 weeks ago my thoughts on Spektrum products was again reinforced by the fact that a jet flyer had an issue with a nose gear servo and then from my understanding his elevator servo packed it in and quit... fortunately on the ground. Both were higher end HV servos with not a lot of time on them so failure was premature. Apparently the rest of the servos are going to be pulled.

Everyone at some point in time has to make that decision what they want to go with
and how much to pay. The old saying has some truth , in my mind " Pay me now or pay me later ".   Continual replacement can end up costing what your quality equipment might be. Really, something to think on.[/QUOTE]

It's clearly marked in the certification. The way your post was in RCG was in the form of a regular "Keyboard Cowboy". The reality is, the guys that worked on certification (you were offered to participate), are just hobbiests like yourself, with no relation or renumeration from Frsky. So when a post like yours comes up, it belittles the efforts of the people that actually worked to benefit the others in Canada.

Hope this helps.

We see what we want to see.

Have a great day.

I also see "Spread Spektrum/Digital Device"...but I have no intimate knowledge of the process or that certificate, just relying on my ability to read.

I guess anyone that is concerned can see what devices are certified on the ISED website?

I believe the post also states that additional certifications are still in process. I suppose the TX modules are all that matter on the transmitter side, the rest of the hardware/software is just the interface that connects us to the module...kind of like Android on the ix12.

It's nice to know it's in the works anyway. As I previously alluded to, I wasn't losing sleep, but at least if confronted about it I will be able to answer now.
