RE: Flyzone Corsair - Can I forgo Anylink and install my own?

Thanks for the info. Did not think about looking at the manual but it does look very straightforward. I'll probably order one this week.

RE: Hitec Eclipse 7 or Futaba 8J?

I think I'm going to do the Tower deal for the A9. With $50 off and a free receiver, this is a good deal and a radio that should work for me for years to come.

RE: Hitec Eclipse 7 or Futaba 8J?

So maybe I need to consider the Aurora. I can get $50 off at Tower and maybe this is the route I should follow as I could grow into the radio. I just like the high mounted LCD of the Eclipse better.

RE: Anyone interested in a Linkage Upgrade for the 5B?

A return spring may work but definitely not as well as an upgraded linkage, as I've had experience using the return spring and wanted something more reliable. To each his own.
