My Posts This: Topic Forum | AbsolutelyYou are absolutely correct, there is a HUGE difference between delay and latency. The 14MZ with the G3 rx is extremely fast, particularly with the 9255 servos which don't spec as well as some others but make torque right off center so they appear faster than they actually are. You get used to it but if you go back to a 1024 rx for some reason, you cannot believe the difference. Even guys that are not extremely advanced fliers can tell the difference. When I tried the original DX-6, the latency was IMHO so extreme as to make the radio nearly unusable for anything other than park flyers, which is what it was designed for. The DX-7 seems MUCH better although I have very little time on one but the feel is dramatically improved. I'm not sure if it is the same, worse, or better than the 14MZ but TO ME, the 14MZ seems more solid, maybe only because I have so much time on it. We are currently doing some experimenting with the hysteresis settings among other things in the 14MZ and the jury is still out on this one. One nice thing about the 14MZ (and 12Z) is that you can update the software in the transmitter yourself and keep the transmitter current with any new features added. I have updated mine twice so far and know there is a third coming sometime soon with some new features being added. Gordie
