In reality, I don't see why anyone has to completely change over anything. I have a DX-7 that came shortly after they went on market. I have a DX-8 that I got early in this year. The DX-7 is installed in a night flier because the neon lights don't bother it and none of my 72. (JR, Futaba, Airtronics, and Hiitec, total 7) could do that. As a note, the Airtronics did the best as I could get 7-800 ft with it while the others barely made 200 ft.

The DX-8 works OK so far. I have an extra receiver for each 2.4, but not yet in service. I have about 12 airplanes loaded with 72. I have some 7-8 extra receivers and they will find a plane someday some time. They still fly OK and the best thing is that almost no one in a 100+ member club along with numerous events, I have no trouble getting the needed pin. I think it's our young (under 55) people's lifestyle as so many folks just have to have the latest thing no matter what. I don't follow that crowd.

So enjoy whatever you have and P&M to suit, just don't get all upset when some of us start a little something to get some posting moving. I hate electrics, can hardly spell bateryies, but I have won in raffles two electric ARF kits, so while I will never fly one of those things, well I have been kinda' lookin' 'em over a bit. Please don't let that out to the public?
