Curious. My 18 came with the single case. Where can I purchase a double case like this one?




So...The question??? Where can this double radio box be purchased with the 18MZ symbol on it?

Very good question, even in Aussie where the 18's are sold in the double case, it is not possible to buy a new double case with the 18 emblem...... I would love the be able to buy one myself.

Cheers,

Jan

Yes the dimensions are not the same, main difference is the split between top and bottom - the top part is much less, not a 50/50 split...

I didn't think the GPS was available yet. Tower keeps pushing the date back. Is there any data logging on the SD card with the 18MZ? I don't see it in the manual but Futaba's manuals are never complete. Did you get your GPS locally module locally? Thanks.

Didn't you have an 18MZ and get rid of it or am I thinking of someone else? Not trying to start anything. Just checking if my memory loss is getting worse.

Yes, I did get one and then sold it. At the time I didn't want to spend them time converting my planes over and the dx18 seemed like a good choice. I've had 3 dx18s with defects so I decided to give Futaba a try again.

Thanks for clearing that up. I guess I still have some memory left.

On another note, the pdf that shows what feature updates are in this release discusses the timer vibration function . That's been in there before this release unless they added new patterns of vibration. I was hoping they would have a voice timer. Wonder why they changed the voice to a woman? I know they do that in full scale as they say male pilots respond better but I would think most men would just ignore it .

Status: offline 		But if you are going to stick to Futaba, currenlty you have only 2 choices for power:

1, SRS powerboxes form Powerbox
2, Upcoming Smart Fly SBUS system

any other method and you'll need to run in PWM mode not sbus.

But the 18MZ has more ''power''... at least 1.2 gigawatts from it's orange flux capacitor.
