Default RE: Futaba 8FG goes to 14 Channels!!

Ifor one am just as impressed as all hell that Futaba would make this upgrade so soon and so inclusive. They have just killed the 10CA Iwould imagine; unless you really need a third volume knob. Iagonized for months over whether Ishould go to the 10CA or the 8FG as a 2.4g transmitter (Ihave a TM-8 on my 9CA) and now Iam certain Imade the right choice. Iended up working a SmartFly Equalizer II into one of my models that actually uses 9 channels to accomidate the TM-8 and figured those would serve with the 8FG on my more complex wing configurations. Put CROW on evena .40 size with split elevators and 8 channels are used up.

Now if we could just convince Harry Higley to produce a "Radio Programming for the Futaba 8FG" like he did for the 9CA.

Thank you Futaba. Istarted with you in 1977 and am happy Istayed loyal.
