RE: Beginner Needs Help Choosing a Radio
I'm with jetmech05 on that. While I agree that Model Match is a great feature, the ease and reliability of Futaba makes it my preferred choice.
Try binding a Spek receiver compared to binding a FASST receiver and you'll know why - not to mention the fact that you don't have to jump through hoops to mount a FASST receiver.
To further prove the point, when I do reviews the issuing company provides me with the necessary radio equipment. With the Top Flite (6 channel, 90-size) P-51, P-47, P-40, etc, they sent a FASST Rx and a 4-cell, 1000MAh battery. With the Hangar-9 RV-8, (5 Channel 60-size) they sent a Spektrum Rx and a 6-cell 2700MAh pack.
Now, which company seems to be more concerned about a voltage drop?
