RE: Anyone else think they should bring back retro-radios?
IMHO, as long as you stay with the major brands, there is no comparing the quality of the latest equipment with the older stuff. Yeah, they may have had more metal in them but, particularly in the case of the t6xa/t6xas (I had both)the engineering and parts quality in the newer stuff is miles ahead. Again. IMHO, the "feel"of my 9CAPS and 10CAP is far superior to that of my T6xas.
Just a thought. I have seen several threads where folks bemoan the digital trim system. Why is that?Why would you even use trim tabs after the model has been properly trimmed and mechanically adjusted?Throttle kill?Put it on a switch. Most, if not all, of the modern TXs have a throttle kill function. On Futabas it's assignable to any switch you want.
