well if you care to rad the original post you will see he asked if a Futaba T6EX was good enough for his purposes and it was good value for him since it come with a Rx and Servo's. Then some Spektrum geek jumped in and offered his perpective on things and tried to sell him into a pot of misery using more model memoery etc as a selling point.

From that poin on it became a brand war as most of these posting do. Its only the Spektrum/Jr camp who get overly sensitive, opush their own brand, lose the debate and then default to the "they all work" , "its personal choice" .

His original idea was sound and the radio he wanted would meet his needs more than adequately, but it had to develop into a brand war.
Interesting that the Spektrum folk seem to want to get more people on their system. The rest of the world prefers to be on Frequency hopping. i guess Spektrum is the last remnant of of US products left in the hobby? Shame since DSM2 is simply outdated and obsolete technology.
I may even try a JR on DMSS someday but DSM2 is a pot of misery to be steered well clear of IMO.
I am happy the guy chose a Hitec system. The A9 is a good radio, and its a darn site better than any DSM2 device. Happy flying, you saved a plane today
