RE: Why doesn't JR have a Dual Conversion RX under $200?????????

If you don't have confidence in the RX, you can always sell your R649, and buy something you're more comfortable with. The 9303 is an excellent radio. No need to get rid of the entire system.

RE: Sagitta kits

Buy all the Sagittas you can afford (and more). List them all on eBay, where willing buyers will make it worth your while. Search for completed auctions to see what they have sold for.
