FlySky GT3B 2.4ghz radio system

I have the real cheap and nasty 2 chanenel FlySky radio and the same 3 channel as in this thread but from Hobbyking. Seems to work fine but I found a very odd issue with it. It can actually control multiple Rx's at once. Yep, thats right. I had three receiver on the bench, each with a battery and one servo plugged in and they were all moving in unison. Crazy stuff. So if you finish playing with one of your cars and change over to another but forget to switch the first one off they will both move together. Try it and see. It's pretty funny.

Also one thing that is very well documented is the fact that Exponential setting on these radios do nothing. I have tried and it just does nothing.

Expo is borked, but some guys over at rctech figured out what you need to reprogram it.

so a fix should be available at some point.

Sounds good. Hopefully it's an easy and cheap fix. I really like the expo setting. When doing high speed runs I really like having the ability to tame down the steering around the center. Really helps with over-correcting.

I do like this radio and for the price it's a winner but I will only use it with my lesser models (slower and cheaper ones). I feel that I am able to control my RCs better with my Spektrum radios mainly due to expo setting but also the DX3S and DX3R just feel better in my hand. Still I think that they did very well for the first effort and when they do the next model I think they will iron out a lot of little bugs that are present now.
