RE: Which New 2.4 Transmitter Would You Choose?

I am already the happy owner of a X9503, I was real surprised to see it got so few votes, even though I selected the 11X. I expected the winner to be the DX8 but not even close.

RE: The demise of the local hobby shop, another one bites the dust

Why would my customers buy those products from me anyway, when they can get them way cheaper via Tower discounts?
