Status: offline 		I think the futaba has better technology (for 2.4ghz, not the radio functions) but the spektrum has cheaper receivers...

Status: offline 		I know you have not listed it, but the Airtronics RDS8000 is a fantastic radio. I just picked one up. It has all the bells and whistles. It has the heli, sail plane and plane modes. Extra mixes and 4 heli flight modes. Right now for Memorial day, Hobby People has it on sale for $190.00 Tx with nicds and charger plus a Rx, no servos. Easy programing, scroll to the right or left then up and down. Scroll over to ele, then down to change what you need to on the elevator, EXPO, D/R, EPA, and so on. Scroll over to ale and do the same. Super simple to program.


My opinion only. No I am not employed by Airtronics or Hobby People.

Pick the one you like the feel of or that looks the coolest.

If you want setup help Futaba and Spectrum/JR are the most popular.

I bought the FUTABA 7C 2.4 and put FASST rxs in my helis. No complaints. After some extensive range checking, I quit worrying about the location/orientation of the little whisker antennas (antenni?) and just fly the crap out of 'em.

I don't remember where the frequency board is at the field.
