I heard that all the old Spektrum DSM2 Receivers were all bought out and sold to Tmart

if you look very closely at the dx8 screen you can see dsmx on the upper right hand corner of the screen. They have managed to reverse engineer dsmx.

DO you know if this will work with parkzone dsm2 planes eg. t28

You heard wrong.

They may have it working with one transmitter, but it doesn't mean they've worked it out for all transmitters...

Absolutely definitely heard wrong.

A little bit harsh don't you think? Especially considering you were responding to the guy from the development team.

Looking at his post history, a post like that isn't unexpected... and we all know he is quite wrong. If it was all junk, then how could any of the thousands of happy spektrum customers continue to fly planes without issues?

Only 2.4 airtronics I've seen a local member bought and accidently left his plane hooked up. He went and set up another plane, and when he went to hand launch his glider, well lets just say a 13" APC prop cuts right through a 60 size topflite Corsair wing with ease!
I've been guilty of doing the same from time to time, but thankfully i have model match

I'm still using dsm2 and it works great for me...been meaning to send my 9503 in for the dsmx update.

Andy and crew, keep up the good work!

Model match is just an attempt of idiot proofing. It should not be needed at all. Unfortunately it is.

1:1 pilots always do pre-flight check before take off. RC pilots SHOULD as well. And after landing the first thing to do is to power off the model. Before every take off the pre-flight check of all controls SHOULD be done to check no damage was done in previous landing and that every control works in right direction.

hay andy why does the throttle channel on my ar600 lag? am i doing something wrong?

cheers, Nathan

It's always nice to hear from the few among us who never make mistakes. The rest of us idiots find Model Match very useful.
