Re: Legality of older spikes

There is not a distinction between the old style Spike and the newer style Spike except as described above. Likewise there is no real difference between the Red Label and Blue Label Victor 884. (There was some confusion during the transition of the labels.) However, if one reads through the manual you will find no mention of a requirement to use only Victor 884 or jaguar speed controllers this year. The rules have been relaxed for the use of any controller as long as the command is generated within the cRIO where it can be controlled by FMS.
