NightFlyyer's RANGE TEST of HIS RC radios. The results. Spektrum AR-6110 2.4 GHz , Hitec & more..

Unfair test, some of you say! LOL These are my radios and my range tests. They are fair tests to ME. I have one of the latest 2.4 GHz receivers from Spektrum, plus some other radios that I depend on. I was always curious to test the claims and the range of these newer radios, VS the older radios. Having some room to do so and with Jeff's help,
( http://www.youtube.com/winston51249 )
We decided to range test my Spektrum 2.4GHz 6110, Hobbyzone Firebird Phantom 27MHz FM, Guanli 72MHz FM, Exceed RC 2.4 GHz, and the Hitec Eclipse 7 Super Slim Narrow band receiver for approximate range.
The results are pretty impressive, so make sure to watch till the end to get them.
Congratulations to all the manufacturers for continuing your strive to improve our hobby.
Thank you,
Dave Herbert

[mke15]

@KvornanTheLafesta oh thanks!.

and yeah it is!!

[Migueldeservantes]

Well keeping in mind that What I have in mind is to use my radio for FLV or just to put a camera and broadcast to my Screen Glasses to have a virtual flight I humbly will request that you make a test with the receiver in a considerable altitude! I don't know may be........ 500 feet? Just my personal opinion. Thanks for the video it give me many great Ideas.

[ograymare]

You got mugs on ( man uggs) lol

[KvornanTheLafesta]

@mke15 The song is a free song in Pinnacle Studio. It's called "Streets of Italia". I love it too, so relaxing!

[shoegooguru]

Very cool! and Very appreciated.

[pilot2w]

the hitec eclipse 7 how meany M ?

[vineetaquarius]

good very helpful also do some range test on futaba 6 ex and some cheap chinese stuff

[alexanderholst1]

will the dx6ihave the same range as a dx3r?

[alexanderholst1]

The dx6i has DSM2, and the dx3r has too. But will they have about the same in range? :)

[pavcon]

Now I really know why I lost my Guanli A-10

I'm gonna buy a spektrum receiver.. no more RTF TxRxs

[VO1ET]

Nice job boys in all that cold....Would like to see more test done like this ....

This is a practical and simple way of comparison ...

[unwired0812]

great test!

fwiw, i've been able to spec out a 40" wing (electric) with the DX6i / AR6110e just the same as the JR 7202 (w/JR tx whip antenna) / FMA M5 72mhz FM rx but with half the tx battery

[RDBOB1]

Thanks for the Help.

[AfghanKnight007]

Thanks very much. i was looking for this info..

[chieftanzzz]

Good comparison. Fair due to all tests were conducted in the same way.

You generally should get more range in the air as you get a better line of site, and less interference

[mke15]

very good video dave!

i enjoyed it :). would the dx5e radio be similar would you think?

[mke15]

loving the music in the background :D.

what is that! very happy tune :D

[nevik5]

This is a good demonstration, but you have to test the futaba 617 and the spektrum 6200 too...

[sourislionne]

5 stars specialist as always ! Congrats

[badgolf1]

cooo000l stuff

[KYIMGMG]

Hi Dave,

Could you kindly test the FlySky 2.4 Ghz 9 Ch Radio. Please.

[jsmbc101]

Nice job! this will be great reference in the future. I think it would be interesting to know the range of "full-range" spektrum receivers like the AR6200. 5* on another great video Jeff and Dave.

[scienceguy22]

Jasmine, the difference in range between a Spektrum full range reciever and "park" reciever is massive.

In my experience, the Spektrum "park" recievers are only reliable to about 2 football field lengths (Consistent w/ Dave's findings). I have not yet found the limit of my full range recievers, but I've exceeded the aforementioned limit by multiples. (That's using the same radio in both cases).
