I know there are individual threads on these two systems, but can anyone give a reasonable comparison of the Futaba 7C and JR 6102 radios? I'm looking to step up from my 4 channel Futaba and I really don't think I need anything quite as potent as a 9C (my flying doesn't require such a complex radio, and my wallet doesn't either). But a 6 or 7 channel computer radio seems right up my alley. No brand-bashing, please, I'm just looking for an objective comparison...

Thanks in advance!

While I can't offer a feature-by-feature comparison, I have looked at both and both are really cool radios (so you know the 6102 is cool 'cause I'm anti-JR). I think the 7C is a tad better though in programming ease and flexibility.

What do you have now? If you have positive shift stuff, get the 6102. If you have negative, get the 7C.

From owning a 6102 and playing around with the 7C at the lhs:

6102
+ 8 char model naming
+ 1 extra mix
+ Digital trim tones vary according to direction, with center indicator on LCD
+ Graphic LCD is actually put to good use and programming is easier
+ case ergonomics for small-mid sized hand
+ short sticks are standard, great for majority of thumb flyers (can be adjust up of course)
+ rachetless throttle conversion kit included
- less switches to choose from
- one less channel
- no countdown timer

[7C[/B]
+ one extra channel
+ VR knob
+ Countdown timer
+ better value for the money, esp with the digital servo package
+ more switches to choose from
+ case ergonomics for larger hands
- 6 char model naming
- Graphic LCD not put to good use
