Spektrum "TheoryX" Quad Racer

[Bad Raven]

The Inside rear cover full page advert in Decembers RCM&E magazine from Horizon Hobbies UK for the Spektrum "Theory X" quad racer both pictures and lists an illegal in the UK Video Transmitter, SPMVT200 of 200mW.

Hopefully, they will actually sell it with a UK legal one like their 25mW SPMVT025EU.

Or are they actually going to sell a product nobody in the UK can legally use??

If supposedly "responsible" companies like HH cannot make the effort to proof read their output so as not to mislead and misinform, with the current attention from legislators looking to see if we ARE a responsible law-abiding body of people, RC flying is definitely doomed!!

Pretty sure 200mw is the US advert (they copy/paste the text) the UK versions will be 25mw vtx same as the conspiracy and other blade stuff.

How come you can buy a DJI Phantom or a Mavic that can transmit video from miles away? 

Don';t they have VTX';s that are beefier than 25mW';s?

they use 2.4 Ghz frequency hopping, at a legal 100mW.  PLus, they';ve got their propritary protocols like ocusync that extend range.  Lots of folk do the antenna mod for the Phantoms I see on youtube tho.
