Hi, I am waiting for the new Arduino Board and am trying to read up on everything. I've looked at the code some and trying to understand what I can. I have a EM401, not the 406. The 401 speaks Sirf, but I know there could be a difference with the 406

Read more…Does anybody know of a motor/ esc that could power a plane with an nxt onboard? Maybe a Graupner?
Read more…I've flown RC Planes for about 5 years but never flown Heli. I've found a decent deal on a new radio but it's for Heli. It's not a computer radio and my basic question is can this be used for a fixed wing plane? It's got the server reversing dip swit
Read more…I read that the modems will be running @ 57000 on version 2.1. I have already purchased the 900MHZ XSC modules which are limited to 9600. Can the baud rate in 2.1 be slowed down to 9600 with a simple change as in the past. I'd hate to have to toss th
