I am still using a 90's Futaba 8UAP [I have 3] with a Frysky 2.4 conversion. I like the fact that the some iof the older radios have a transmitter module that is removable and thus is easily upgraded to 2.4. I especially like the fact that my Frsky system [1 trans module and 6 eight channel receivers cost me only $139.00 from Hobby King. A futaba conversion and 6 eight channel reveivers would be well over $650.00 ad my Frysky works like a dream not one problem in almost a year.

I bopught my first 8UAP at the LHS and sent it to Futaba for a complete check out which cost me about $50.00, I strongly recomend doing this on any used transmitter that you do not know the history on.
