So I was out at the field this weekend and some of the guys mentioned that I should be worried about using an older DX7 (not 7s), which uses DSM2. They claim that there are folks around our field that use some special beaming technology that beams info from place X to place Y (these places they told me are like 30 miles apart at least). And that there are 'dead spots' in the sky for your radio if they happen to be doing this beaming stuff at the time.
I'm a very skeptical person. Is this reasonably feasible? They claim it happens about once or twice a week. One of the guys was trying to show me at the time I was out there... literally, "here, watch if I fly over here my throttle will go full without me doing it." I asked him, why would you fly over there then?? I mean, someone reading this might think they were playing a joke on me, but believe me, these folks were serious about it.
But, I put so much work into this plane I'm working on, I don't want to end up crashing because of something like this. Do I really need a new system here to be safe? I've never had any issues with using it for my Trex or other planes, but I don't fly them at the club air field much until just recently.
Thanks.
