After waiting for what seems like decades for the 2.4 technology world to shake out the bugs it looks like it has finally matured so I decided to do a little radio upgrade on my 12FG before I fly. I’m not an early adopter!

I don’t think the HS (High Speed) series receivers have the now famous Futaba heat problem but I’ll be mounting them on foam stand offs anyhow.

The r6008HS that I’ll be using in the Speeda is incredibly tiny. Ended up with one r6014HS and three r6008HS. The HS feature with digital servos is pretty impressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPSQYt4-om0 I will need to relocate my analog throttle and retract servo to the analog channels 7 and 8.

Plan on keeping my Series 77 Kraft 7C and Futaba 9C Super on 72.
