[LASS Soaring] "2.4 Gigglehurts Announcements"

[GordySoar at aol.com]

They are all in the game now. I think Futaba hit the home  run a couple of 
weeks ago with their announcements. They will also be showing  the new 12 
channel radio and models for the entire line.
 
I suspect the 2.4 stuff will follow loyalty lines. The odd  man out appears 
to be the XPS guy. Lets see if he actually has the stuff. He'll  do well.
 
Good points Darwin.
 
Right now the 'show me the money' guys are the XPS and Horizon  guys. With 
Horizon being the LEADERS!
 
"Its actions that represent character not words"  As top TOC pilot and world 
class kite flyer Benjamin F said.:-)
 
>From an action standpoint (take your Ford, Dodge,  GMC, Futaba,Airtronics 
hats off for a second and lets look at what has been  done, versus said)
 
Horizon is the wayyyy out front leader.  While the others  are 'announcing' 
Horizon is into their second generation 2.4 and AT it with a  full selection of 
RX, TXs and retro fits.

When the big four lined up at the Missouri state line, only  Horizon/JR and 
XPS get to enter, with JR allowed in FIRST by a bunch of car  lengths. (Show Me 
state, get it?) 

When everything has been said and  done, Horizon/JR have a history of having 
more done than said for the past few  years.
 
This isn't about brand loyalty its about get't it done  fact.  Product on the 
shelf proof stuff.
 
What history ?  Servos for high performance competition  sailplanes, 368.  
Tiny, fast PCM, Tiny fast PCM Synth, FULL line Synth,  Retro Fit 
Synth....employees who fly and compete, sponsored  series sailplane contests, sponsored Scale 
Aero Tow, Masters  inspirers...
 
Don't try to take this thread off to what used to be, or who  'used' to 
....this one is about the difference in who actually has the stuff at  Toledo.  
Horizon has had it before, and XPS has a module and RX now.

Futaba isn't late, since they don't actually have anything  yet. That doesn't 
make them bad, but the other two get some good points for  taking the lead :-)

Course there is that old thing about the old bull and young  bull who see a 
heard of cows, the young bull runs down and flirts them all up,  tiring as he 
does it and the old bull wades in and makes hay :)
 
Futaba is an old bull, lets see if they can make hay.   Horizon has set the 
standard pretty high with 2.4 product selection and retro  fits. XPS's 
performance claims seem to put their system stratospherically  high...is there a value 
to having something work 'better' than 'works'?

We'll see, for now WAY TO GO Horizon and XPS :-)
 
The gigglehurts gauntlet has been thrown ;-)  Lets see who  else picks it up.
