All the features in the world are no good if you can't figure out how to use them. Not much fun holding something for minutes on end if its not comfortable.

I own both a Ford and a Chevy. And though I own a Futaba T3PK, I don't own an Airtronics M11. Personally, I just like the feel of the T3PK better. Of course, there is also an HRS Spektrum Module now for the T3PK to make it even faster.

Spektrum’s New Blazing Fast 2ms Futaba HRS Module System
Thursday, December 22, 2005

Futaba 3PK owners interested in the fastest possible processing speed are sure to be blown away by Spektrum’s latest engineering breakthrough, the Spektrum DSM System for Futaba HRS.

A new dedicated module and receiver have been developed specifically for use with the Futaba 3PK when HRS modulation is selected. The Spektrum latency has been reduced from 5.6ms to just 2ms!

This system is designed for use with digital servos only, and it’ll be available at your local hobby shop early in 2006. The module and receiver will be designated “Futaba HRS Version” and is for use with the HRS system only.

Which one feels better to you ? has the features you want and fits in the price range you want to pay ?

I was going to go the M11 but it wasn't avalible locally for me and i discovered it was going to cost at least $200 more then a 3PK for me to buy so you know what i ended up with.
I voted the M11 for the features it has and apparently feels really nice but i love my 3PK to death as well. There isn't anything I need it to do that it can't. It's comfortable and sits nicely in my hand.

Status: offline 		Both are good radios, but I went with the 3PK. It feels solidly built, which isn't a surprise, since Futaba's main business is industrial radio and remote control systems. It also has far better aftermarket support (like the Spektrum HRS system). The only adavntages of the M11 are it's fourth channel, a slightly larger display, and the cell phone style vibrator in it's grip.

What does that mean? you hold it in right and steer left. that is not amazing. You simply reverse the handle on the M11 and you can hold it right and steer with left hand, and all the buttons are in the same relative configuration as if you drove right handed. In other words the experience is the same with either a righty or lefty.

I think you need another reason
