I was really looking forward to the WiFli technology coming to us this year. However, on the Spekrum web site under FAQ they say that it took years to develop it for land use, and it will take a long time to develop it for air use. I emailed them (hoping the FAQ was just old) and asked if there was any new info on Spektrum for helicopter use. All I got back was one sentence -

"We don't have any plans for it at this time."

I guess we are stock with technology that is decades old for a while longer. Hope nobody shoots me down....

what happened to the Model Avionics one - they said last year that it was coming out soon, they had it on their web site but it's gone now.

I heard they sold the technology to Horrizon/Spektrum.

From my limited understanding, SS is reasonably straightforward when you're driving cars around a track. It gets a lot more interesting when you have airborne models much higher and further out. Futaba looked at the technology extensively before deciding to go with RF for the MZ. The amount of R&D money it was going to require to make it work and to get it cleared for use in all nations importing the radios was too much for this generation of transmitter. JR might have something cooking in their wings for airborne SS, but I would be a little surprised to see it any time really soon (as in within a year or so).

I hear the racers are going back to synthesized FM because of lag in the SS stuff.
