My guess is around the DX6/AR6000 numbers. Unfortunately, the 9C remains on the slow end even in PPM mode. Then add latency from the FASST system. Just a guess, though. It will have better CCPM then with PCM1024, though.

Admittedly mostly on the bench while testing radios and setting up helis. Since my personal ownership of 2048 radios has been limited (14 MZ and 12Z) time wise, the vast majority of flying I've done on 2048 has been other people's helis on which I have no control over setup and all the other subtleties. Nor have direct comparisons been possible.
> or can you truly sense a difference in the sky?
When I flew the Vibe I had with a CycLock and the radio setup jacked up to use the full 1024 resolution on each control (ail, ele, and collective) there was definitely a feeling of finer control compared to flying the same heli with a normal CCPM setup over a 1024 radio link (DX7 with AR9000). But that was more than just 1024 versus 2048.
Until now with the X9303, I am not aware of any other way to directly and honestly compare 1024 versus 2048. Since I don't own an X9303, I can't do that myself. I just received a PM from someone who states he definitely feels a difference between the two (AR7000 and AR9000) on the same heli while changing nothing else.
BTW, I am not saying 2048 is necessary for everyone nor am I saying all helis will benefit from 2048 due to perhaps mediocre servos, slop, or just poor setup. What I am saying, is that saying 2048 makes no difference and has no benefit over 1024 is incorrect.
