I think that two user programmable CPU's on the RX side sounds okay, but I object to keeping the current RX box as one of them.

The basic loop time is too slow to be useful in many situations.

As long as we are going to bite the bullet and go to a new controller, I say do it right, don't compromise performance to get one or two more years out of the current (very good, but definitely improvable) controllers.

As to saving money, I don't think that much would really be saved. Remember that we are on a 40% growth curve. This means that over 100 new controllers are required even if we change nothing!

Just my two cents.

Joe J.
