Default RE: 2.4 upgrade question

Weskel, take a look at the 10C before you make the jump.Iwas looking at the cost to go to 2.4 this last summer. I priced a Futaba module for the 9C, and the price of two receivers (the 14 and 7 channels that were on special at the time). The 9C 2.4 module plus the two receivers was only $50 less than the 10C with the same receivers. At the time, the 10C was still modular, so I can still use my 72mhz stuff, including the 9CRFmodules with the 10C. I'm happy with my jump. The math might not be there today, but it was then.

The big price tag for 2.4 is the receivers. I fly bigger planes, so the cheaper park flyer stufff won't work. Also, you have to match the Reciver to the TX or RFmodule. There are no cross brand setups that Iknow of. Each brand uses it own protocall.
