RE: Best 2.4GHz radio for water and land use.
With the new receivers out there, the antenna 's are short. 7.5" on the 2.4 gig Futaba. Loss of signal ,never had one yet. One should always do a signal CK before you put her in water. Futaba has a fail safe built in. I run RC trucks on a clay oval 2 times a week . I went with the Skyfly @ $35.00 a steal No it's not a Spectrum. not even close but a 2.4 gig cheap I can put my Futaba's back in my boats. If your a serious boater then yes a Spectrum is Very good . a once a month boater can get buy with the Skyfly 2.4 . I gotta go race day I 'm running Skyfly. The only minus is the on/off switch I have to remove a battery when I carry it around inside my duffel bag
