Ow, that's cold, but not far off the mark
I'm biased to the 8FG. For most sport fliers it's more radio than you'll ever need, and it looks like it is hardware ready for the Futaba telemetry, when that's released, with just a software update to the radio. Any radio that the user can update through a SD, or compact flash card has a big advantage. All my model setups on my 8FG are backed up to my computer, if my radio were to be destroyed accidentally[
], I would be back in business as soon as I got a replacement 8FG.
Best wishes to all for a Happy Thanksgiving!
