I'd personally keep the 9c, which is also module based so its upgradeable to 2.4ghz as well.

They are both good radios though.

Status: offline 		I have a Futaba 9Z WC1 version. I love the radio but I was running into range issues when I started to fly
planes. I also replaced the battery once because I didn't get very long battery life. I eventually modified the
original battery to accept lipo power and it seams to last forever now.

I have never owned a 9C but I was looking at them when they came out. Give both radios a try and see
which one works best for your applications.

thats a good reply! Futaba is playing games with dropping current series, and replacing them with double the price stuff, If i was starting out again, it would NOT be futaba!
