RE: Is Spektrum worth it?
I was always a Futaba transmitter guy with Hitec receivers.
I wanted to change over to 2.4 because I started flying at the club field. I changed to Hitec and kept my Futaba 8UAFs transmitter but it has a Hitec RF unit.
But I help newbies at the field and they all have Spektrum because that's what the LHS sells. I've had to become very familiar with the different Spektrums. I do not have any problems with them but do not personally own any.
Futaba is priced too high.
