I am not too familiar with the R/C field, but aside from smaller size and more
channels/battery life, and smart servo trims, what advancements are you thinking of?
The laws of radio physics are what they are so about the only improvement
I can think of is spread spectrum for jam proofing.
As well, is there not a large inertia in the marketplace? Are people willing
to move away from 'proven' or legacy products?
