Time Capsule!!
Check out what came into my hands today. It's a brand spanking new, still in original package Futaba FP-6FN radio. I don't belive it has ever been out of the crate until I took the Tx out to snap a few pics. The original packing slip and reciept are still in the package. All the wires are still tied up, and all the baggies are still sealed. Also got an old Heathkit 5channel Tx as well.
Enjoy

RE: Time Capsule!!
I moved on from the Vinyl covered case to the gold coloured Metal case, Conquest PCM, T6XA, 7AUPS, 8AUPS, 9CAP, and then I finally added the Synthesized 72Mhz RF Module. There might have been a Non PCM Conquest, as well.
The 9CAP was OK except the 9th channel was just a Switch and required a more expensive PCM Rx.
I purchased a jet from a friend that included a JR XP8103. When Spektrum came out with the 2.4 RF Module, I put it in the 8103. When the XP9303 came out, I found out it supported 9 fully proportional channels in PPM, PCM, and 2.4Ghz. Those advantages as well as Flight Conditions and Flaps on a Switch turned me into a JR/Spektrum person since the Spektrum module, in the 9C, only gave me 8 channels total.
Futaba has of course caught up but I am not in a hurry to Jump back.

How many remember when proportional was how often and how long you moved the switch to the on position ?
